The Sunbrella umbrella is nice. The Sunbrella material is particularly heavy and sturdy. The aluminum poles are finished to resemble wood. The mechanism that raises and lowers the umbrella is a pulley system with a heavy rope. All-in-all, very nice.

Snagged this umbrella for a gift so I still need to get a real stand for it! The only small struggle we had in setting it up was that there are two metal tubes that make up the pole and you have to make sure they are seated correctly one inside the other to be able to screw then together! I’m going to add some fray-check or glue to make sure that the top of the umbrella doesn’t tear (you can see in the photos it’s just a hole through the fabric with no reinforcement.) Other than that, 5 stars!

This is a very high quality umbrella. The supports are all screwed in tightly as are some of the other pieces. It’s a Sunbrella fabric which should stay nice for years to come. Assembly was easy….just a couple of screws to attach the rope cleat and it was complete. The top finial also had to be screwed on and that’s the only part of the umbrella that isn’t top notch. It was plastic…..but still I’m giving this umbrella 5 stars because the parts of the umbrella that will be used are very high quality.

I’m really impressed with this umbrella, especially for the size. I don’t have the table that it will go into yet or a base (it doesn’t come with a base) It provides a huge amount of shade and easily covers multiple chairs, so it would work really well over a larger patio seating or dining area. The canopy is a pretty warm creambeige rather than a stark white, and the wood-look pole and ribs make it look much more expensive than a typical metal patio umbrella. It blends beautifully with neutral outdoor furniture. The pulleyrope opening system is straightforward to use, and once fully opened the canopy feels nice and substantial. I also like that the fabric has ties so it can be secured neatly when the umbrella is closed. The canopy fabric has a slightly textured look that keeps it from looking cheap or overly shiny. One thing shoppers should know is that this is a very large umbrella. It has a lot of presence, so make sure you have enough clearance around your patio and a sturdy, appropriately sized base. Because of the large canopy, I also wouldn’t leave it open during strong winds. Overall, I’m very happy with it. It gives you a ton of usable shade while still looking elevated and more like something you’d see at a nice resort than a basic backyard umbrella.

This patio umbrella is a beautiful addition to our outdoor space. It feels sturdy, opens and closes smoothly, and provides excellent shade on sunny days. The fabric looks high quality, and the overall design is elegant and timeless. Great value for the price and highly recommended!
