Outdoor Patio Cantilever Umbrella 11 Foot Round Canopy with Solar Powered Lights Includes Base and Storage Cover (Salsa)

The umbrella arrived safely in good packaging. The box is very heavy, but this isn't just your average umbrella. It was easy to assemble, easy to raise up and down. Provides a tremendous amount of shade! The only thing that would make this better is a different base. Its convenient that the plastic sandd holders fit together like pie pieces. But they don't hold enough sand, it leans. We just keep two bags of sand on top of the base for counter weights and it works good for now. Eventually those bags will get holes and the plastic will break down. I believe a large solid base would work better, and I am going to have to figure out a way to modify the base soon. Other than that, this umbrella is fantastic! The solar lights are awesome and actually put out a good amount of light at night. I absolutely would recommend this product, and would buy another one!

I am pleased with the result; however there was a slight tear in the awning and a piece of the base was cracked off. I was able to pot the two pieces of the base together & the screw held it in place. I whip stitched the tear together because by the time I saw it I had already packed the wet sand in the base. I did not want to take it all apart to ship it back. Make sure to check EVERYTHING before assembling. We are in a windy area but I think it will work for us when we need it.

When this is working correctly, it is wonderful. The problems that someone else listed are absolutely my experience also--the bottom fabric section is originally fastened with little elastic bands. I didn't have it but three or four months and they were nearly shot. This second season, it is almost impossible to use the thing. I contacted the seller and rather than propose any sort of real solution, I was told that I should take my not one year old umbrella to a canvas repair shop and have new tabs sewn on. In short, I paid a small fortune for something that didn't last a full summer season and I am now going to have to replace. This is absolute garbage. Take it from me, the idea is wonderful but the actual product is terrible.

I have the same issues as another review posted here... the umbrella is very nice and stable if you fill the base with water and sand or do what i did water and 3 large pots/plats on top of that.... i will post a pic later. My complaint is that the umbrella becomes unhooked from the bottom fabric section ....bad design i guess .. there are also fabric hooks (top of the umbrella) that I have to re-attach umbrella back together requiring me to crank the umbrella partially up, and then re-attach these loose connections ... then continue cranking the umbrella up until it's snug.

Probably a great umbrella if there is no wind.unfortunatly our ranch gets a good evening breeze. we had to add extra weight on top of the base to keep it upright.but it is beautiful, and was simple to set up.

I purchased The Cantilever Umbrella and it was delivered in 2 days. The Umbrella is easy to put up, STURDY and looks great. Very easy to lower and tilt. The LED lights are perfect for dark night dining and they produce a very nice soft light level that produces a great ambiance. The light switch is easily accessible. The storage bag is no problem to put on. The 11" radius provides excellent shade for most needs. I have 180 pounds of wet sand in the base unit and it seems to stand up well in mild winds. Be fairly sure where you want to locate the umbrella before you load in the sand as it is something you just roll to a different location on your patio. The price is right and I would purchase it again.

Great quality and beautiful, vivd color! Assembly was easy except for the wet sand, but that is to be expected. Opening and closing is a breeze and quickly done. Manipulating the cover on is easy too, since it has a rigid pole inside with which you can guide the cover over/off the closed umbrella without having to get on a chair or ladder. The lights aren't bright, but there is enough for mood lighting. Not quite enough to eat by except when it's pizza or something equally uncomplicated. The only negative is that the charging device for the lights is on top of the umbrella and it's covered when the cover is on. Not sure if I can come up with a better solution though, and it really hasn't influenced us; we just take the cover off when we start getting our entertainment area ready for whatever festivities we have planned for that night :)

I've had this for some time now and it's still holding up. You can't really leave it open if it gets windy/gusty where you live, but otherwise when its just sunny and you need it, its reliable. You will need more than just sand in the base though, you will need to get a good 50-100lb more to place over the base. I currently have some concrete cylinders on it, but there are sand beanie bags you can buy and place over it which you will need. Still, a good value buy compared to what you will see in stores.
