Best Choice Products 10x10ft Cantilever Patio Umbrella w/Base Included, Solar LED Lights 360 Rotation Large Offset Hanging Outdoor Shade for Deck Pool Backyard w/Stand – Deep Taupe

The color of the umbrella, I got Navy Blue, is beautiful. Assemble was pretty easy, took my daughter and I about 30 minutes. It is heavy so I recommend having another person help you. The base is a little larger than I expected but we have gotten used to it. The ability to angle and turn it 360° is perfect and meets are needs. It is easy to turn with very little effort. I am in my 60’s and have arthritis, I do not have any problem. All parts were there. We filled our base with water, we get some pretty strong winds and so far so good. Of course we put it down when it is too windy or not in use. The lights are an added bonus. They are not super bright but serve the purpose to add some light at night. Our neighborhood only has a few street lights so it is pretty dark at night. I do highly recommend.

I purchased this umbrella for my mom as a gift and she absolutely loves it! She loves to be outside. It provides more than enough shade on her back porch. I got her the red and it's so pretty and adds a pop of color to her back porch. It's quite pricey, however, you do get a high quality product. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for! It's incredibly easy to use and didn't take long to assemble. It offers many functions and worth the buy!

Seriously! Absolutely amazing! I am a grandmother, I put this together myself with ease! It rotates, tilts and lights just give it that ambiance! Much better than I expected. Well worth the price.

If you're going to put this in a place that will be subject to ANYTHING OVER 5 MPH (using water in the supplied 'weight' tanks') it will blow right over. This is what happened to me. We installed this on a day that produced max winds of 5-10 mph, which can be verified through places like NOAA. Highest recorded winds that day were 11 mph at 3:00 PM. My awning blew over well before 3:00 PM in about 4-5 mph. In doing so, it bent the heck out of the awning support system parts. Parts that are not easily repaired. It also allowed me to investigate the actual construction on the awning. All I can say is, IT'S VERY CHEAPLY MADE. Now moving on. The the crossbrace at the bottom to support it is standard black painted steel. I put this on my brand new dock July 4th, and having looked at it today there are big rust stains all over my new PVC dock. I don't think I have to tell you how unhappy I am with that. Now there are some nice things about it. The canvas, although not Sunbrella, looks like it would hold up for a year or two outside in the weather. The lights are nice, but I never got to test them at night to see how long they last. They do supply you with a cover and a 5 foot long fiberglass pole to reach the top of the awing to help with installing the protective cover while not in use. It tilts and swivels around to aid in getting the thing in a good position while using wherever you have it installed. And they have a nice selection of colors. So that's my $0.02 evaluation. Buyer beware.

The product is great overall! It arrived without any issues...no damage. It is a bit heavy yet manageable for one person by dragging it but much easier to move while packaged if you had help. Assembly was easy and straightforward too. It's in my backyard and gets full sun from sunup until sundown in Georgia. I live in an area that gets windy at times yet it has held up great. I originally put it in one location but later moved it about 8feet to get better use in blocking the sun throughout the day. Moving it once you've filled up the base wasn't challenging at all since the base is in sections which can be moved individually, but it was definitely heavier since I had filled each piece with water already. The only negative thing I've come across is with the cover when I put it away. 1. The pull string on the zipper just fell apart after a month...no big deal since I have string in my garage that I could substitute, but still disappointing. But more disappointing is 2. After 1.5months and it in full sun, as I was closing it for the night, the cover tore making the cover useless. I put the cover over the top of the umbrella, and you'll need to very gently pull it down or the solar panel on top of the umbrella will tear the cover like it did to me. I wasn't forcefully pulling down the cover, just a regular expectation and it tore. I'd recommended that the company make the cover much hardier to be able to withstand full sun environments -and- it be able to not tear during a normal/typical process of putting the cover on. Isn't that what it's supposed to do? Again, I would definitely recommend this umbrella! Just be extra careful with the cover when you go to put it on.

Great size and well constructed umbrella. Had a minor problem with a piece, breaking off, seller replaced the umbrella within 24 hours of receiving my request. Very pleased with both the product and the service.

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.

My wife and I have and 12x20 stone patio that gets full direct sunlight from 10am-5pm. We considered getting a sunsetter awning ($4-5k) or doing a DIY shade sail (but wouldn’t have enough mounting points). Ultimately we discovered and settled on this umbrella and we’re so glad we did! Its very sturdy and easy to assemble. The canopy material is high quality and durable and I really appreciate the design of the 4 piece base which makes it really easy to fill and even move around if needed. Color was accurate. The value for the money is just unbeatable. It can get pretty windy here and so far its stood up well to the elements, but you definitely need to be mindful of the wind and close it if its getting too windy. Everyone is impressed with how incredibly easy it is to open and close (takes just a few seconds). Even though our patio is 12x20, this 10x10 umbrella provides sufficient shade and in the afternoon the entire patio is actually shaded! The solar powered lights work nicely in the dark. Not too bright, but certainly enough to see yourself and others in the dark. I highly recommend this product if you need an affordable shade solution!
