This umbrella is extremely hard to open and close - very tight. I had a relative look at it yesterday and he said there is something wrong with the gears. The gear cover needs to be taken off and the gears checked. It may or may not be fixable. Color is great and size is good. I have had other umbrellas and they never made a noise opening and closing or felt extremely hard to crank.

I am loving this umbrella. I was searching for Sunbrella farbic because it is well known for it's high durability and long lasting strength and I found it at Sams for a very reasonable price! So far, it has been great! The color is wonderful (I got it in cast breeze), the feel is soft yet durable and size is perfect for our 48'' table. I also purchased 55 lb base which works fine with 60 lb table and 10'' umbrella. I am very pleased with the purchase!

This umbrella is awesome ~ its the second one I purchased for our deck and I sure wish I found this umbrella first!! I paid twice as much for the first one & this one is so much better!! Highly recommend!!

Purchased early May 2922. Returned for refund after receiving defective replacement...that failed with first use. Suggestion, get rid of the plastic crank mechanism.

love my unbrella. Got it because my grandkids love to be in the pool all day than snack. So I can move to where the sun is and it covers them from the heat. Works great and love how hugh it is. Looks beautiful outside too.

Great! We purchased 3 of these umbrellas a few wks ago. They look great & Im hopeful they live up to the Sunbrella” material reputation as our previous umbrellas have.

On our first attempt at using this umbrella, we put the pole into a base and not but a few minutes later the pole snapped in half about 6" up from the bottom.

We loved this umbrella until a slight breeze toppled it over. The picture shows the umbrella freestanding in a umbrella stand, however, this umbrella would be better in a table set.

This patio umbrella is made with extreme attention to detail and quality. It is easy as pie to assemble and operate, and looks/serves us beautifully over our 8ft (maybe actually 10ft?) rectangular Polywood table.

my local store also had this umbrella but not the color i wanted so ordered it on line didn't have to fit it in my car and the color i wanted easy peasy!
