Had an issue with the umbrella upon arrival and contacted the manufacturer. They were very responsive and resolved the issue quickly. We love the umbrella and feel it is a good value. Would recommend C-hopetree products!Great umbrella and its large to cover a wide areaAbsolutely LOVE ❤️ this umbrella! Sturdy, beautiful color! Very hot 100+ daily Temps and this is holding up. Highly recommend. We bought teal and the color just pops.its really sturdyjust need the right base to keep it upI just received this today, so I can't speak yet as to the longevity of the item. But it appears to be a very sturdy and well built umbrella.Most umbrellas are marketed as larger than they really are. For example I have one that was sold as a 10 foot umbrella when in reality it was only about 9.5 feet. This one actually seems to be 11 feet. If you have an average sized patio table with 4 chairs, often times a 10 foot umbrella will just barely reach the edge of the chairs. This one actually does extend beyond the chairs.Unlike many reviewers, if I say I will update, I will.If you do not see any updates on this review, be assured that it is still representing my opinion.This umbrella is marketed as water resistant, not waterproof.When it rains again, if it appears not to be resistant as the manufacturer claims, I will update that as well.Resistant simply means that it will only prevent water from immediately penetrating the fabric but after a short period of time with water standing on the fabric, it will penetrate it . In many, but not all water "resistant" umbrellas I've had, even when the fabric becomes saturated and begins to penetrate, it is a very fine mist-like dispersion, not large water drops. If that holds true with this umbrella, I'll leave my review alone. If not, I will update based on better/worse than expected.If you have an older table, like we do, the umbrella spins .Update.... ive owned this umbrella now for appx 14 months. I still am absolutely in love with this umbrella! I love the color, i have the navy blue. It is large with a tilt, and the shade it produces is really great, way better than my 9 inch umbrells. Its fabric, which is a really good material, is attached to flexible fiberglass poles at the last foot where the materials ends fit into. I have had NO problem with it. This is the umbrella i would recommend to anyone.Yes you do have to invest in a heaver foot weight, [45lbs and up so your umbrella doesnt go flying off and break your glass table] but so worth it and the extra coverage of shade it provides. This is the umbrella i will keep coming back to order in the future, best hands down!!!Okay so another update......i am still so in love with this umbrella!!! ? This will be my 3rd summer owning it. I do store it in my garage in the winter due to our harsh winter weather. No rips, nothing wrong with it. It is still in great condition. Yes it has faded somewhat on the outside, but all umbrellas do, but looks beautiful when its opened. And i have been reading negative reviews of other purchasers, but i am here to tell you, those people are not following manufacturers instructions. I have a white and red sticker/label right on my pole where the crank is and it gives a warning for windy weather. For windy weather, the recommendations [with any patio umbrella] is to lower/close the umbrella or it may cause damage. I cannot believe people just arent doing this and then giving a rating on their neglect....wow!Anyway, i absolutely have found my lifelong umbrella company/brand and I definetely will purchase from them again!!!!We ordered this Umbrella and it came promptly. We immediately put it up and use it on a daily basis. It works very smoothly and the fabric is quality! Even after an entire year of blazing sun there is no fading or tearing as we had experienced with umbrellas from other companies. The stitching is a nice detail and the shade coverage is great. When we did experience a malfunction in the tilt feature we contacted customer support and they were extremely responsive, helpful and eager to resolve the issue. Couldn't be happier and dealing with a company like this makes being a consumer a pleasure. I would highly recommend their products.
