I am in love with this thing and loved the soft lights that are built in. It's definitely worth the extra money. We use to have a regular umbrella and purchased some string lights you attach to the arms of the umbrella and they were just a pain in the butt.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The umbrella is nice. I like the little lights. The stand is too lite weight for the size of umbrella. When it’s windy you cannot use the umbrella because it will blow down. We lay ours down and have rocks on the stand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this umbrella. It's very big and covers my 10' × 10' patio perfectly. I really like the solar lights that are the perfect brightness for the evening.
This umbrella is cute, but does not hold up to partial wind. The plastic causes the umbrella to break. The price was too good to be true, now I see why….they won’t last a good month.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful, and easily assembled. Looks solid, so I'm optimistic about durability. The only drawback is that it very much needs a weighted base, and everything that fits is as expensive as the umbrella. I'd suggest getting an umbrella/base weight combo, if available.
