Best Choice Products 10x10ft 2-Tier Square Cantilever Patio Umbrella with Solar LED Lights, Offset Hanging Outdoor Sun Shade for Backyard w/Included Fillable Base, 360 Rotation - Brown

If you want a beautiful, well made cantilever umbrella, you've found it. The lights are so pretty; light enough for conversation in the evening but not glaring cold light. The round center light makes the difference.This square umbrella had a learning curve opening and closing as we were used to our round one, which broke. The angles require a bit more space around the deck. But we got it within 3 uses, and we absolutely love it. I put 2 coats of Scotchgard on it bc it's dark grey. The darker color keeps us cooler underneath. But the sun bleached out last one out a bit, so protection was prudent.It's so easily adjusted, spun, tilted to wherever you need it. But to spin it, you have to step on a pedal in the base. This keeps the umbrella from randomly spinning in the wind, which is great.I'd absolutely recommend this product to anyone. We haven't tried the included cover, but it appears sturdy. The whole thing is well made and the water filled base makes it very stable. Two thumbs way up from us!One thing we're not crazy about: the crank to raise and lower it is low on the pole, requiring us to bend over to put it up or down. We were used to the crank being 3'+from the deck. This is about a foot farther down. We're still getting used to that, but by no means is it a deal breaker. There are so many positive features that bending a bit for the handle is no biggie.

Before I open the heavy box, I thought it would take me the whole morning to assemble. However, it turned out the assembling is very very easy. Filling the water to the base, secure the post with four screws to the base weights, putting the crank, and connecting the umbrella to the post! That's just less than one hour to have the beautiful patio umbrella!The umbrella is very sturdy and we don't feel any shaking even in a windy bay weather! Once you set up the umbrella, you could adjust the umbrella through two ways: rotating the patio umbrella by pressing the pedal or tilting umbrella by pushing the handle. Very easy to adjust and very useful feature especially when you want to enjoy the outside throughout the day!

This is a well built and designed product. Works well and has nice led lighting. When we received it one of the base containers was cracked. Contact was fast and they are sending me a replacement free of charge. I like the fact it comes with the base and a cover. I would buy this again.

I like the umbrella. It's easy to use and provides nice shade on our small deck. I strongly recommend anchoring the metal base to your deck or patio if possible. We had a pop-up thunderstorm come through one day with high winds. Our umbrella was up and before I could put it down and secure it, the winds were gusting so strong that it blew the umbrella sideways lifting the base and weights partially up. I put 300 lbs. of sand in the weights thinking that would hold it down. That's fine when the umbrella is down. However, high winds could knock it over if it's up. One of the metal base bars was bent because of this incident. The metal is not very sturdy. I bent it back as good as I could but the umbrella now leans a little bit. I'm going to check with the vendor to see if they sell replacement parts. I did bolt the base to my deck and I'm sure that will keep it from lifting again.

well thing hugh umbrella arrived day before yesterday it was packaged very well wrapped great. we spent 2 days filling it with sand to better give it more weight. It is beautiful, very well made and high quality. and the material is very nice. i love the color and lights. it didn't take too much to figure out. we needed it for our yard as our neighbors cut down All their trees and the side they cut we have cement. it covers really well

I am writing this review after installing the product and using it a for a little bit. Assembly was easy to follow from the booklet and easy to do. Took me 30 minutes all inclusive and done by one person. Recommend using water as ballast in the base, easy to setup and remove to move. The cover was a bonus, didn't know was gettin it. Was easy to put on with the stick, very very well thought out by the manufacturer--thank you. Remember to cover the mast inside the cover thus covering the whole thing.Worked well with the minimal wind there was (8-12 mph). Haven't tried in higher wind, don't think it is a good idea to given the span of the umbrella. Will report on sturdiness test later.

Easy to assemble, but will need two people with the final assembly. Really works great here by the pool! Highly recommend this product.
