PURPLE LEAF Patio Cantilever Umbrella Outdoor Square Adjustable Offset Umbrellas

Umbrella is as advertised and was worth the price. Everything went together nicely, and the materials and construction is top notch, the color is good and has no faded and pretty stables if you weigh it down properly, I’ve not had any issues with fly-aways

I set up this umbrella by myself with not much trouble. It as an easy setup with putting the umbrella up on the stand pole being the most difficult to do alone. It works really well, easy to use and sturdy. I bought the 9’ x 11.5’ size.The umbrella and the base (both by purple leaf) fit together well. Instructions called to fill the base with 90% sand and 10% water. I thought that would be a mess if I ever wanted to take out the sand or move it. I filled the base with water and stacked 4 50 lb bags of sand on the base. Works great. It is wind rated to 30 mph and it was a little breezy, I would estimate gusts to about 15 mph and no problems.Very sturdy and great value compared to other similar cantilever umbrellas.

The Purple Leaf 10x10 cantilever umbrella is very well made. Umbrella material fits very tight when fully extended and looks great. The led lights are a nice touch also should you purchase this add on.Had a slight problem with the rotating 360 degree base but Purple Leaf customer service was great and had a replacement sent almost immediately, also the middle LED light module was damaged due to waterover the winter but again great customer service and I had a replacement within three days.A special thanks to awesome customer service and Tears.Tim GregoryTexas

This is a beautiful, well-made umbrella. We got it to replace a 10 x 10 canopy whose frame was destroyed in a windy thunderstorm -- the fourth such canopy we had over the years. We finally decided we needed a different method to shade our patio and keep the western sun out of our eyes while eating dinner on the patio. We didn't want to go with a permanently covered patio (which would block much-needed sun in the winter). So we decided that this large, maneuverable umbrella would be a very good alternative solution. It looks like we made an excellent choice.I can't yet comment on the umbrella's durability since we just got it, but it looks well-constructed enough that it's built to last quite some time. Years, I hope. (Given the price, that will be nice!)The frame is sturdy, the mechanisms for raising it and tilting it seem equally hardy, and the waterproof fabric is thick and, well ... waterproof!But I have one serious beef. This took MUCH longer to put together than it should have because the instructions are really lacking. As you know, the water tank base (which you DO NEED) must be bought separately, and there' a separate instruction booklet (2 pages) that comes with that. However, nowhere in either the umbrella instructions or the water/sand tank instructions does it tell you anything about how you need to position the tanks. Or whether it's best to try to fill them after you've set up the umbrella or before.The proper positioning of the tanks allows the foot pedal that control the umbrella tilt to operate. But at first glance it's hard to tell how those tanks should be positioned. (I filled them first, and put them as near the umbrella base a possible, but they're very heavy, so moving them takes strength-- particularly if you're a woman, and an older woman, as I am. I did position them wrongly, initially, so had to backtrack and partly unscrew the umbrella base in order to get them back out of position and turn them 45 degrees, and re-lift them into their new position.Secondly, the umbrella cross base parts (which fit into the water tank slots) don't look anything like pictured, so I at first thought they were missing. Fortunately, they were not. Also, the instructions for matching holes in several parts of the vertical posts are ambiguous, as there are many more holes than just the two they imply. Had I known all this ahead of time I could have cut the installation time by at least half.It would also have been very helpful for some instructions regarding how to position the umbrella. That may seem like a no-brainer, but it's difficult to tell ahead of time who the actual very heavy umbrella with its mechanisms, etc., is going to be positioned on the base pole so that it faces like you want it to. Moving it after the fact is almost impossible for one person, and difficult even with two.This CAN be put together by one person -- except for the final lifting of the umbrella itself, sliding it's pole onto the pole on the base. The nine-foot umbrella with all its hardware is amazingly heavy (and top heavy, which creates instability when lifting it). You have to lift it a good four feet to get it onto the base pole, so to do that it takes either one very strong person (with upper body/arm strength), or two people (which they recommend).

We purchased a PURPLE LEAF 10 Feet Outdoor Cantilever Solar Powered LED Swivel Square Offset Umbrella with 360-degree Rotation, weighted base, and a cover. The items arrived in three well-packaged boxes. The umbrella looks amazing and installs easily in just a few minutes. It rotates 360-degrees and slides up and down very easy with pressing the button on the handle. It provides lots of shade and protects our patio furniture. We are loving our gorgeous umbrella! Thank you, PURPLE LEAF!PURPLE LEAF’s customer service was outstanding. They responded to all my questions quickly and efficiently and made sure that the umbrella, weighted base, and cover were compatible with each other.I highly recommend PURPLE LEAF to anyone looking for a high quality and beautiful umbrella.
