Cantilever Premium Aluminum 9-foot Umbrella

My husband and I recently purchased beautiful chaise lounges, however, during the day, it can get quite hot so I was looking for a large umbrella that would provide sufficient shade. I specially wanted a cantilever umbrella so if one person wanted shade, they could have it while the other could enjoy the sun. This umbrella is perfect. You do either need to mount it to a base, or purchase 4 1' x 1' pavers to weight the umbrella base. The umbrella especially in the brick color is a very classy addition to our area by the pool and match perfectly with the accent pillows on our chaises.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The description said the color was brick, which it is. However, the picture shows the color as being more of a deep red.

I am very pleased with overstock.com and the prices. The shipping fee is fantastic and I will definitely shop here again. There seems to be everything a person might want. I found the umbrella I wanted here where I was unable to find one anywhere else due to the seasonal timing. Also, I know that other places charge a great deal more for this particular umbrella.

I researched a lot before purchasing this umbrella and was fairly disappointed when it arrived. The stand is fine, but the attachement/joining pieces are cheap looking plastic. The color is not brick, it is tomato, especially in the bright sun and it is not waterproof. You get wet if you are under it during the rain. I am going to try spraying it with something to fix that, but overall I feel that I should have spent extra to get Sunbrella material. I would have sent it back, but it just seemed like a hassle and it does fit perfectly on my deck and provides nice shade.

We need shade on our lower deck in the back yard. The deck is on the west side of our house and gets very hot in the afternoon. We checked out alot of umbrellas and thought this would be what would do the trick. We mounted it to the floor on our upper deck so we could turn it to cover part of our pool or turn it to shade our lower deck. We have had it up about 2 weeks now and it is great in the afternoons. Stays nice and cool on the lower deck and when we are swimming we can have some shade in the pool area. Great umbrella to have on a deck. Easy to put together.
