Best Choice Products 10ft Solar LED Offset Hanging Market Patio Umbrella for Backyard, Poolside, Lawn and Garden w/Easy Tilt Adjustment, Polyester Shade, 8 Ribs - Tan

As others have reviewed, there is a piece on this umbrella that broke. However, it is an easy fix. The plastic part that slides that holds the umbrella up split. There is a screw at the elbow that can easily be removed. Get a piece of pvc that will fit over the plastic piece. It works great. I also contacted Best Choice regarding this issue and sent them a picture so they knew what piece I was talking about. They offered to refund it or replace IF I boxed and returned the umbrella. I didn't have the box anymore so I went back and forth arguing that I would return it when I received the replacement. I finally gave up, figured out how to fix it and then let them know I fixed it and never mind. Then I received a message saying that they will refund or replace and I didn't have to return the one that was broken. I now have 2 umbrellas!! My suggestion is to get a piece of PVC and put it over the plastic piece that holds up the umbrella BEFORE if breaks. It is easy. You will be happy. I do hope that Best Choice will change that piece in the future. Even if they don't fix the piece it is worth the money.Update received the replacement the part that broke on the first one was missing. They still say they cant send the part. The pvc does work but not as well without the part. Not sure i would buy from them again.

I absolutely love this 10 ft solar LED offset patio umbrella! It’s not only stylish but also provides great shade and a relaxing ambiance with the built-in solar lights. I had a similar one before that lasted over 4 years, which is impressive considering I use it regularly. Sadly, that one met its end when Hurricane Milton brought a tree down on it—but it held up great until then! I’m so happy to have found this replacement. It feels sturdy, well-made, and brings back that same cozy outdoor vibe I missed. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful, generous sized deck umbrella. The only thing that could make it better is a way to lock the umbrella into its full open position. Over several hours open the umbrella starts to very slowly become slack. It was extremely easy to set up and gives wonderful sun protection.UPDATE the customer who asked why her umbrella doesn't open like the photo: I believe you have not fully pushed the open/close handle up to its fully open position. After you do that notice the little black clip. You need to press this clip open and attach it to the piece just above it to keep it I'm its full open position.

Update: Everything in my first review below is still true. However, after the company sent us a second umbrella, another small gust of wind (12 mph, if that!) and it just doesn’t hold up. I’m including pictures of the second umbrella they sent us. It did bend at the bottom too, but I was able to bend it back. At this point, I’m not asking for anything from the company. Just be aware that it is not good with wind at all. We even have it bolted down, we put a rug down to try to make sure no wind comes from underneath our deck, etc. We don’t live near water, or anywhere where it’s overly windy. It just isn’t made to withstand wind at all.Original review:The umbrella itself seems sturdy, but doesn’t seem to withstand any little bit of wind very well. HOWEVER, This company is AMAZING. We had an issue with our umbrella BUT we contacted the seller with pictures and they quickly shipped us out another one free of charge. We appreciate that so much!

When I was looking for a cantilever umbrella for my pool, I saw a lot of them selling in the $300 and up range. Being a bargain hunter, I decided to keep looking and came across this umbrella. Reviews were just below 4 stars at the time, and the price was great, so I took a chance.Let me begin by saying I live in Oklahoma. Wind is pretty much a given on most days. We consider 10 mph to be calm. More on this later. Set up of the stand was fairly simple. Now for each failure point:Base post washerRight off the bat, I notice that the base vertical pipe that the umbrella stand slides into has a cheap plastic washer meant to hold some pins in place so the umbrella won't shear in the wind. Without this piece of plastic, the pole can rotate the full width of the pin in both horizontal directions. The washer is broke. It will stay in place, but it does not lock in the pins now. I figure it's not a huge deal and move on. I finish setting up the base, adding base weights, erect the umbrella into the stand, and start to crank it open.Umbrella Rib Spoke and StopperWhile I was looking at the crank, apparently a piece of plastic drops out of the umbrella and is floating in my pool. The umbrella is "deployed" with a crank that winds a cable (more like string) that runs through the umbrella down through the spoke that connects all the ribs, to a cheap plastic stopper that is meant to slide into the spoke. The higher the spoke is pulled, the more the umbrella deploys. This stopper had a thin lip circumventing it that was the only thing keeping it from pulling through the spoke. Half of that lip had broken off (I didn't realize it at the time as it was flush with the spoke. The next day, we deploy the umbrella with winds around 10 mph, and the whole thing is flailing around like we're in a typhoon. Suddenly, there's a pop, and the umbrella collapses. The rest of the lip had given way. Being handy and not wanting to deal with returning a giant umbrella, I cobble together a fix using chain clip that prevents the stopper from pulling through the spoke. Looks janky, but still better than processing a return.Cantilever Arm SleeveIf you look in the photo, you'll notice a crank that attaches to a 45 degree angled arm that attaches to the main pole. This arm is locked into place when extended by a - wait for it - cheap plastic sleeve. On the third use of the umbrella, again in low winds, the sleeve split length-wise, so the arm won't lock in place. Queue me grabbing my bag of 3/8" wide zip ties. After "bandaging" the sleeve with five of those suckers, the sleeve is functional, and my umbrella is starting to look like something out of a Dr. Suess book.So we have three failures of parts, all involving plastic in spots that really should have been, at the very least, aluminum. Now I'm getting nervous while I'm watching the 10 mph wind whip this thing around, because the whole thing is shearing at the top where the main umbrella arm is attached to the top of the pole, and - surprise - that whole assembly is made of more of that crappy plastic. Oh, and so is the crank housing and most of the assembly that the umbrella hangs from at the end of the main arm. At this point, I've resigned myself to the fact that the only time I'll be able to use this is if either a) it's dead calm or b) I move it indoors. Will likely have to box the sucker up and send it back...which is sad, considering I gave it multiple chances.Pros:At least the solar-powered LED lights work.Cons: absolutely cheap plastic parts used in high stress areas of the pole and cranking mechanism. Whole thing thrashes about in a slight breeze, and would be in the next county if an actual gust of wind blew up.Conclusion: avoid this like the plague. Spend the extra $200 and buy some piece of mind.
