Purchased this item 2 years ago and product was excellent, unfortunately got damaged in a storm, so thought we’d buy another, firstly the cost had more than doubled, so after much deliberation decided to purchase again. As with most things in retail, over time quality is always the first thing to suffer, cheaper materials obviously used this time around, but looked acceptable (just) on first impressions. However, the morning after, we noticed all the floors/irregular lines in the material, as you can see in the image above, this is not acceptable for this parasol at that price point, therefore, it has been returned.

This is such a large and solid item with a brilliant range of movement it’s really impressive. My only disappointment was some really poor stitching on the fabric. I sorted it and hope this was a one off as it really does seem like a great quality item. This comes with a base but YOU NEED WEIGHTS. Even when not windy. These are sold separately (as always with parasols) so avoid disappointment by ordering some at the same time!

So far so good feels really sturdy and well made. The handle to makd it go up and down works well easy and smooth to use. The umbrella frame is solid and all in one piece so no loose bits. Really pleased with this product just need to buy a cover. We chose this one for the 2 ywars warranty

Looks good just need the sun to shine to fully test it !!

Went together easily and now can't wait for the summer!
