This is a very nice umbrella but the color really faded after one year, actually only six months in the sun, as we store it inside in the winter and also the solar light stopped charging so I have to change the battery to an alkaline and they only last a week or so before it goes out.
The pictures tell the story of the fading but we can live with that it is the light not working that really makes this a disappointing purchase.
Received umbrella in timely manner, had outside for 2 days full sun. Lights did not work. Tried to return for replacement. Item This item isnt eligible for return. Started bad review, Then I saw a comment on how to make the light work turned out to be a perfect purchase
Easy to assemble/ needs two people to lift the final part/ but once assembled its great. Very stable on the water filled base. In fact it seems to be more stable in wind than my other two 8 x 8 umbrellas
The base leaks water, not ideal because if it gets too light itll tip over. Waiting on reply from vendor.
The umbrella fabric is also pulling, hopefully it does not continue and require a new umbrella!
Overall, assembly was quick. If it wasnt for the poor quality control it would be great.
We ordered this Umbrella to replace one that came with a patio set purchased at Home Depot a few years back. The Original one had worn out from weather, sun, and repeated use. I am so happy with this product. I will try to upload some photos. If purchased follow the included instructions to attach the Solar Panel connection. Its a simple process. The LEDS are a nice touch. They arent VERY bright, but provide some style and a bit of secondary illumination. The crank and switch feel high quality. The arms of the Umbrella are thick and the product is well designed. I would recommend this product.
All went well but I would suggest that the company provide an additional extra large solar and replaceable battery package for in my experience the light levels get dim after two hours. For some the additional solar and battery storage for a longer time for lighting or even a higher lighting level would be a useful option.

Color Fades fast and solar lighting stopped working after a year
