VERY happy with the umbrella which is much higher quality than i could find in a store. We're very happy with the color too (we got Cranberry). No instructions but set-up is simple. Easy to crank. I couldn't figure out how the tilt function worked. Someone had mentioned a "button" but it works via a vertically ribbed collar just above the crank. Rotate it and the umbrella tilts. I found a video which shows how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akzNapQ9Y1U&NR=1 Different manufacturer but same process!!
We own a small B&B in Door County Wisconsin and have been shopping for umbrellas for our deck. I found these on Overstock and they seemed like they might work out well. Comparable umbrellas in a patio store were about $100 more. We bought the Antique Beige color to eliminate any potential fading problems. I like the fact that the rope seems to be heavy duty and the mechanism as you are cranking the umbrella up seems to ratchet. I really like the collar that you use to tilt the umbrella as opposed to the difficult push buttons that our previous umbrellas had. I also like the fact that these umbrellas seem a bit taller than our other ones, so tall people don't have to duck under them to sit at the table. I initially bought one umbrella to make sure we liked it and had no hesitation in ordering 4 more, once I saw the quality. One of the umbrellas was damaged in shipping and I was pleasantly surprised that Overstock is sending us another one at no cost..no hassle at all...not even shipping! So far a definite YES! in our book, I will not hesitate to keep you informed of any future issues with these umbrellas.
This is a really nice umbrella, gives great shade! The only drawback was the lack of instructions (yes I know, it's an umbrella what is there to know?) My wife figured out that to make the umbrella tilt, after opening it up all the way you have to twist the collar right above the crank handle. We've only had it a few weeks so we can't report on the rope breakage or wind blowing it away scenarios. But we love it so far :)
This umbrella arrived in good shape- it's easy to use, the color is definitely "white" and it looks very nice. I am using my own stand and my patio furniture is a dark chocolate brown so it looks very nice with it.
This is a very nice umbrella! The crank open and tilt feature of the umbrella is very easy to use. My 6 yr old can now open the umbrella himself. I struggled with those rope pulls and pins for too long!!! I imagine the fiberglass olefin will stand the weather much better than the natural wood kind we had in the past. Wood is natural and beautiful but they weather and break (especially in the arms that hold up the shade) if not maintained well. We found the Sunbrella shades would outlast the wood frames definitely. These new umbrellas (I bought 2 of them) would likely be a perfect combination-- long standing, low maintenance frame with the durable Sunbrella shade. 9 ft. was bigger than what we've had in the past, but very nice!
Excellent value. Olefin or Sunbrella fabric and collar tilt were my two must-haves. This umbrella met those expectations and at a terrific price point that couldn't be beat elsewhere on the internet. Am very happy with this purchase. The item also arrived fairly quickly and in good condition.
This umbrella is very sturdy and is just what I needed for our small back deck to shield from the hot hot sun in the summer.
The umbrella performs exactly as described and we are very happy with it. The tilt feature is a life saver for moving or angled sun rays.
I found the umbrella to be extremely wobbly. The part that connects the umbrella to the pole is not very secure and the entire umbrella wobbles when you crack it open and closed. I also found the fabric to look too synthetic. I think I am going to return it for a higher quality umbrella.
Purchase umbrella and enjoying it. Very please with my purchase
