Instructions all in German so you need to use your common sense to work it out. Needs sand bags to stop it blowing over. Not the thing to put up in a strong wind.

Lovely parasol, huge but easily opened and closed. You will need to buy four weights or Four heavy slabs to secure this and a cover as its too big to keep popping in the shed when not used. All in all a good purchase but bare in mind the additional costs of securing and keeping in dry.

I have given it 5 stars because for the price, this parasol is splendid. Robust and lovely looking. As per other reviewers, you must have something to secure it as it is really heavy and will topple over or be taken with the wind quite easily. Also, as stated the handle to open and close is rather high (which is good if you have children as it will prevent them from messing with it). It would be nice if it came with proper instructions as I did struggle to get it together. (Highly recommend 2 adults do this). Once assembled and working properly, it has huge coverage and is very pretty.

Not as good quality as my previous parasol. Instructions were all in German! Quite easy to put up but when I wound it down the paradol ended up dangling from a string, took me a while to locate two lugs in the top part which clicked the two parts together but the parasol does still not fully close and I have to put a band around the bottom to close it completely. It is ok but could have been better.

The colour is really beautiful orange just what I was looking for it's a bit difficult to get up need to be quite strong and the handle is quite high up to open and close . Think you need to be around if you leave it up for the day or night as it will easy break if it got to windy . It has made my garden look so nice I'm just hoping that I will get a few years out of it obviously I will put it away in the winter but I tie it back every time I don't use it with a nice bit of ribbon .
