Auto-tilt Outdoor Market Umbrella

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.
