Love this umbrella! The solar lights are FAB and the battery is A+!

I saw plenty of umbrellas for over twice the cost, usually with fewer color options, but many with more LED lights. I chose this BCP umbrella because it was cheaper and I really wanted the green to go with my patio furniture. I was worried that the small number of LEDs would not provide enough light. Fear not! This thing puts out plenty of light to see by, ALL NIGHT LONG! I have had the umbrella for almost a month, use it just about nightly, and have NEVER had the battery run out on me. Every day at the end of the night I have to turn the lights off when I head in, because they are still going strong after hours and hours of use. I also have mason jar solar lights and those things die after like 2 hours. Not this umbrella! I haven't figured out the maximum use time after a full charge but it is LONG. The on/off button is also easy to find and use. It is a little bright red switch right above the crank handle on the umbrella pole, a bit over halfway up. This thing is sturdy and well-built, too. I use it in one of the BCP umbrella stands, which I do NOT recommend because it blows over, but due to that fact, the fact that I have had this lovely umbrella sadly blown over on me twice now, I can tell you it is hardy and seems like it will last a long time. The solar panel and rechargeable battery sit at the top of the umbrella, and I was worried it could have been damaged by the umbrella crashing down since there is nothing around it to protect it, but it wasn't harmed at all and is still charging the little LED fairy lights beautifully. Assembly of said solar panel, and the whole umbrella in fact, was painless. Screw 2 poles together, solar panel has one little cord that plugs into the top and then the whole thing just slides right in (or screws in, or snaps, I can't recall but it was easy). The hardest part is getting the umbrella out of the box. Once all the pieces are unpacked, your umbrella will be ready to go in about 3 minutes. Just remember to get a good base! If you have never had a patio umbrella before, don't forget that umbrellas and bases are sold separately because some people have tables for them, others use them stand-alone, and that changes what kind of base it wants. Keep in mind that umbrella pole diameters can vary so check that the stand's dimensions are compatible. As I said, I got a BCP base, which I do NOT recommend. It's the 29lb 18 inch round umbrella base stand and IT BLOWS OVER! Maybe the BCP fillable stands are sturdier. I did not want to have to mess around with filling it with water or finding a place to get sand, so I went the weighted route. If I had it to do over, I would probably get the fillable one and find a place to buy sand, because I think those are heavier.

I absolutely love the umbrellas I bought here. They have built in solar lights that are very nice looking. Most have to be wrapped around and these are integrated in the wood. They are a really nice quality and I highly recommend them!

Great umbrella!

I got the navy and white stripes. I thought the colors were exactly as shown. I have not used the LED lights much because I have mainly used the umbrella to block the sun during the day but I have verified that they work and are cute little lights. The umbrella held up well all summer and even through a couple of heavy-winded storms. Slight fading after sitting in the sun an entire summer but will be able to use another 1 or 2 summers before needing another update.
