I purchased the 10 ft Solar LED Lighted Patio Umbrella w/Tilt Adjustment, Fade/Resistant Fabric / Red Sports color for 74.99. I read several reviews that were negative about the difficulty of assembly, the lights not working, and the easy break/ability of the pole structure. I have had the umbrella setup for 2 weeks now.
My experience:
1) It was as easy to assemble as could possibly be
2) I live in Tampa, and currently we are experiencing wind gusts upwards of 20 MPH. With the umbrella at fully open, it has withstood these gusts and not broken
3) The lights work seamlessly. The reviews and feedback referenced the need to remove something from the top of the umbrella, I did not have to do anything of the such, so Im not sure if they have corrected for this or if it never existed in the first place?
4) It was delivered a day earlier than initially indicated, which was only 4 calendar days delivered to my house for free (I have Prime, not sure if thats why I got free delivery?)
FINAL CONCLUSION:
This is a great value for the money. I have not experienced even a splinter of problems. I could not be more satisfied. I rarely write reviews, maybe a handful total, yet have purchased more than 100,000 on , inclusive of easily more than 1,000 purchases. There are two possibilities for the negative reviews:
1) The company has made modifications to correct for the concerns of previous purchases
2) The negative reviews are not true. For whatever the reason why they are written, they represent either a very different product experience than Ive had or the reviewers are not being truthful.
I hope this review as blunt and in your face as it is will be helpful to those debating if they should purchase this product.
