[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Strong, Sturdy and a Shade Provider. This umbrella is pretty big. So it is perfect to have almost a 360 shady area. The tilting is perfect when the sun decides to move. Having the ability not to fully open is an option, so when you want shade and someone wants to tan. I did get the cords tangled slightly when turning to open and close, just make sure the cord isn't wrapped around one of the spokes of the umbrella. I wish it wouldn't allow you to turn down when the umbrella is tilted. Not sure if it causes any damage, but the turning mechanism will start reopening the umbrella even though you are turning in the down direction. So that can be a little confusing. But once it is straight again, the turning direction is back the way they are supposed to be.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pagoda umbrella is perfect for this summer. It went well with my table and it keeps the sun out very wheel. It has a handle you can use to open and close it and move it around. Its easy to use and store when needed.
