EliteShade USA 10-Year-Non-Fading 9Ft 3 Tiers Market Umbrella Patio Umbrella Outdoor Table Umbrella with Ventilation, Heather Beige

I rarely write a review the day I get an item. But in this case I think it's deserved. The quality is very good. It has very good quality fabric and is stitched well. This is according to my wife, who sews fabric almost daily. The mechanism is smooth and works very well. The tilt mechanism is easy to release and positively locks. The powder coating on the steel parts is very nice, and matches our patio furniture almost perfectly. We looked for nearly a month for a patio umbrella. Looked at all the big box stores, and different umbrellas on Amazon and other online stores. You pay a little more for this umbrella, but this one is worth it. I hope I get years of enjoyment like we did tonight.

I’m very happy with the look and quality of this umbrella!

I enjoyed this umbrella while I had it. Unfortunate my umbrella was recently destroyed during Hurricane Helene. The umbrella was down and tied up but the hurricane blew the iron table and chairs across the yard and destroyed the umbrella. Several huge trees are down in our yard so I can’t complain about the umbrella’s endurance. The fabric was not torn but all the metal rods were wrenched from their holder.

This is a replacement for an umbrella that was faded. The color is so vibrant and bright, has a perfect ventilation system that keeps the umbrella from pulling up on windy days. It is on the expensive side but for the quality I believe it’s worth it.

This umbrella is very well made with heavy cloth in a beautiful vibrant parrot green color, very well sewn seams, sturdy hardware and very smooth operation. However, it does not measure 9 feet. Fully opened from rib to rib it is 104” which is 4 inches short of 9 ft. Side to side it measures exactly 8 ft across. I would have given 5 stars if the size was correct.

Really happy with this purchase after several months. Umbrella is just as sturdy and attractive as our old one but much lighter so held really firmly by the stand. We leave it open all the time to provide shade and it shows no sign of being affected by rain or wind.

I left my 3-tier umbrella up all summer to protect a table from bird droppings. We had a thunderstorm yesterday; the upper plastic part of the pole broke and when it fell over, it bent the lower part of the pole that went through the table and pulled the entire teak table over on its side. Photos included. I bought it May 2, 2021, 5 months ago. I thought the 3-tiers would protect it from high wind. I guess not. I do not know if the plastic part was cracked to start with, but the box was not damaged.I bought this to replace a faded umbrella with no tiers and no plastic connection parts. That umbrella was left up every summer for 10 years and did not break.If you never leave the umbrella up in thunderstorms, it is very nice and just what you are looking for.It is so expensive! But only worked for one summer. I am asking for a replacement though I did not get the warranty. I will let you know if the vendor replaces it. If so, I will inspect the plastic part and watch the weather more closely!Update: the product failure was within the 6 month warrantee period but the company is classifying 24 MPH winds as "destroyed by a natural disaster" and not as failed during normal use. (I sent a download of the wind data for that day.) Still discussing this with them but am very unhappy with my $250 purchase. They are only offering to sell me a frame for $70 with the expectation that I can transfer the canopy and have a $320 umbrella.Update: They sent a replacement. It arrived broken in a different place. See circled area in the 4th photo and compare it to the first frame above it. Since I like the canopy style and color, I am asking them to send a replacement for the replacement.

Very happy with the value and quality of our umbrella. It is easy to open and close. Love the tie closure too.
