The color is beautiful. The fabric is a little thin compared to the 11 foot market umbrella, but ok. The autotilt is a little hard for me but I am short and my husband does not have any problem. We love the crank style and so much easier than having to push up and pull down on the strings of the market ones that do not have the crank. We are overall pleased and would recommend them. Just have a little question on the thin material compared to the others.
This umbrella looks great (really like the willow green color). The only thing that I am not pleased with is the way you have to tilt the umbrella. I am a short person and it is a bit of a stretch to hole the pole above the crank with one hand and reach out to the end of a rib with the other to turn it into a tilting position. Otherwise, I am pleased with this product.
Very easy to turn the crank. Willow Green color is great. Came quicker than I expected.
ordered the cocoa brown,it was a lighter color than the picture showed which worked out well with my color scheme. Priced a few stores and found expensive umbrellas more than i cared to spend or cheaper ones at the big chains that just seemed like one good gust of wind would do it in.This umbrella seems just fine all the way around,and doesn't look bad at all for the price.
When I purchased this umbrella, there were not many reviews on it yet--at least not with these fabric colors. However, this group of umbrellas has the same model number and description as another grouping of umbrellas and appered identical except for the fabric colors. The reviews for that group indicated the fabric was of good quality. Since the umbrellas were the same (as I said, right down to the same model #!), I trusted the material on this umbrella would also be durable. It is not. It is quite thin and I am not convinced it will last very long. Additionally, because it is so lightweight, it is somewhat puckered around the outside edge where it is hemmed all the way around--this also does not result in a quality look. The manner in which the umbrella tips is quite different from what I am used to. It is not a situation where you push a button and tilt it--instead you have to turn the top part of the pole one way and the bottom part of the pole the opposite. This is quite awkward--especially because there are no handles or anything to grip to turn the pole sections with. You have to turn the top by pulling on the ribs some distance out from the pole while holding the bottom part still. It doesn't turn very easily and I cringe when I pull on the ribs wondering how quickly this procedure might break them. Given the price of the umbrella, I was not expecting top quality by any means, but I was expecting more than I got.
Looked OK when initially set up, but the supports are made from cheap plastic and broke the first week it was up. No major storms or strong winds, just cheap and not worth the money. I am a frequent user of this site and am hoping for a refund. This is junk!!!!! Do not buy.
This umbrella is lighter weight than the last one I bought on the site. It is ok.

I actually like it better as it has aged since the color is not as vibrant. It has held up very well after two summers in the hot Callifornia sun and works just as good as if new. Since you do spin it to change the angle sometimes the wind will do that and so if it's a windy day you might want to close it. Otherwise great for the price.

Thought this was a bargain. It's a great umbrella. Had it for a couple years now and it's still great. Love the tilt and crank to open the umbrella.
We are very happy with this umbrella. We purchased the brown and it goes great with our gold cushions. It's nice and big and operates well. It was a great price, too.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color was perfect!
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good quality, sturdy umbrella.
WORKS OK IF YOU DON'T TILT IT - CRANK IS A BIT WEAK AND THE CORDAGE TO THE CONTROL IS NOT HEAT TREATED SO I IMAGINE IT WILL LAST ABOUT 2 YEARS, BUT A GREAT BUY FOR THE PRICE
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? YES
- How is the quality of the product? AVERAGE

I was not at all happy with the tilt mechanism since it must be hand turned and the reach is too high and the turning requires more strength than I have....I must have my spouse tilt it for me.
I am very happy with my umbrella. I was disappointed when I realized it did not come with a stand and now I am searching to find one that matches.
A really lightweight outdoor umbrella and so easy to open, close and tilt/
I am completely satisfied with my purchase. The color was more than I had hoped for because it was a spot on match to our lounge chairs at the pool. We haven't had it long but for now we are completely satisfied
I looked around a bit before purchasing two of these umbrellas for my pool. For the price alone these are a Great buy. The brown color was a bit duller than I had wished for but thats my only complaint. These appear to be Very sturdy and well made. I checked many others at higher prices and they were'nt nearly as solid as these.
High quality fabric--a bit more vinyl-like than I expected, but still a matte cotton appearance. I love the crank-open mechanism! Very high quality for the high price. Color is quite true to the image on my PC for the saffron red umbrella. The auto-tilt is very clever, too.
Umbrella seems to be a good value for the money. Had it open when strong winds came up and it held up even though it was obviously stressed.
This umbrella is just what I was looking for. It is light weight for me to handle. Can't beat the shipping price! Good quality and great looks!
