This was the perfect choice and an amazing addition to the backyard. It’s sturdy and can be positioned in many ways based on your needs. Amazing umbrella!

Definitely a 2 person job in moving the box, and to assemble. Instructions only had illustrations, and we had a few moments of frustration following the pics… however, with patience got through the assembly within 2 hrs. Really sturdy and heavy once the base was filled. However, the umbrella does sway a little in-the breeze, but still seems sturdy. Plan on closing the umbrella at night and when strong winds are predicted. Overall a very nice addition to our backyard for summer neighborhood get togethers. Very easy to operated and adjust, and looking forward to warm nights relaxing under the stars. Umbrella is much larger then expected… ez to operate and looks good.

I recently ordered the 11 foot cantilever light it umbrella and it just arrived. As usual, I check the packaging and then inspect the umbrella and it’s components. Everything looked in perfect shape. After this, I read the instructions and then get to work putting together the necessary parts. It definitely was an easier build, but I do have my pros and cons. Pros.-the quality of the fabric is great and UV resistant and waterproof. It’s a solid structure, supporting the weight of the umbrella. The LED lights are perfect for that bit of ambience in the backyard when entertaining guest. The tilt function is also another great attribute when the sun’s coming at different angles. The look of the umbrella and size is perfect for any outdoor setting. Just a beautiful look Cons.- I was not crazy about the base structure , meaning you have to fill these bags of water and sand to weigh down the umbrella, but if you have to move it it’s a little bit more of a process than if the base was one solid structure with wheels. The other issue, which is not that big of a deal, but you have to utilize the cranking mechanism to first extend the umbrella then you have to take it out and utilize the crank again to fully open the umbrella. I would prefer this just one permanent piece that could do both functions. Just some small minor details but all in all this is a great umbrella that can serve multiple functions and really give your backyard patio. A beautiful look.
