We have gone through at least 4 of the cheaper, crank umbrellas that angle at the top. Every one of them was destroyed by winds since we didn't put them down before it blew in. This umbrella has been open now on our back patio for a few months and not once has it shown signs of tipping the table over or trying to fly away. Perfect umbrella if you need something that will stand up to strong winds at a reasonable price.

I bought one of these Umbrellas years ago. When we go to the beach we always put it up in the sand. We are always asked where we purchased this umbrella, people love it!

We love this umbrella. We have a beach area in our pool and it works perfectly and fits too fairly large chairs under it. This is our second one and it has lasted us a good time.

There is a little difficulty putting the umbrella up and down. It would be easier if you have a stand that keep umbrella from going up. I have two of them. They make our pool area an oasis!!

We Love this Hula Umbrella! We have 3 others to match by the pool area. The umbrellas last for several years before they need replaced. It looks like a tropical paradise

Great buy! Its very sturdy, very well made. although its not real raffia it looks authentic. So much better than anything I've seen in a store or purchased in the past. Is a little tough to open but not impossible - I am a 62 year old woman and I can get it. Also do love the fact that it doesn't crank since those fail after a while. I have a tiki bar and this goes great with it to use on a small deck I have.

I really like this umbrella, only thing I would change is I wish it had the tilt option, that is my bad for not reading the description closer. Other than that it is perfect!

I bought another one of these fun umbrellas. The first one is a couple summers old and still looks brand new. I have the umbrellas on rolling bases so I can move them around the pool. The only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that you have to manually put the pin in to open them and it can be a bit difficult.

Was very pleased with the quality of product especially considering the price. It looks fantastic. Gives a fun atmosphere compared to a colored umbrella. Plus, sun fading won't be as noticeable. I was so happy with it, I ordered a second one the same day I put the first one up. The only thing that keeps it from getting 5 stars is than it needs longer poles. It is too short to walk under as it is.

Great palapa style umbrella for around the pool. This is our 2nd one. First one was blown to bits in a dust devil that came through our yard. But before that mini tornado, we left it open for a year and it withstood all the weather, wind and sun in AZ. We loved it so much we bought a new one after that. The only thing that would make it better is if it had the crank handle to open it. Otherwise, it's a great addition to our pool patio.
