I cannot raise this umbella up unless I get on a ladder & I'm 5'7" and pretty strong for a woman. I love the umbrella but have to returnn as just cannot get it up and down without help.

We love the hula umbrella. We had one for years and a very unusual strong storm destroyed it. we looked around and had to come back to the hula umbrella again and are so excited to have another one back.

I have three of these umbrella's! They are inexpensive and the quality is over the top!! Most importantly they make my patio feel like an island experience!!

Haven't used it yet outside, but love the looks of it! Hoping it fares well through the summer season! Will write more reviews after we've actually used it for some time.

researched online and found this brand to be one of the better choices. found it at a great price at Sam's, lower than internet sites. nice quality and size, perfect for our application

I've had two of these up all summer long in the blazing Georgia sun and they look as good as new. They shade beautifully and make the pool patio look really tropical. We have to stand on the table to lock them open but that's no big deal.

This imbrella is improvement over early (6hrs ago) model which lost its thach is the wind. I put pulley with rope on upper pole to make it easier to raise.....great improvement.

LOVE! I have used on beach for last two years! Light so easy to carry! Looks nice setup on beach! Have been asked several times where did I purchase. I highly recommend this product! I know own two of them!!

I bought two of these. Had to return them the next day. They are sooooo pretty, but, next to impossible to open. I have to thank the Sam´s Club in Matthews, NC, for the quick, understand and very impressive return experience.

Super Amazing deal and so beautiful! I've recommended these umbrellas to everyone! They add such an "island" touch to our backyard. The quality of the plastic thatch and pole are really good and it provides a LOT of shade over our pool and BBQ.
