Most of the time when an item like this is rated as highly as this umbrella is, I tend to ignore the tiny percentage of negative comments assuming they are rare exceptions. In the the case of this umbrella, that was a mistake. I waited for some time for this item to be in stock. When it finally arrived, I was thrilled. The assembly was super easy and the coverage it provided was outstanding. I even ordered the recommended base which turns out to be giant square water bottles to keep it from tipping over. It was all a waste of money. The smallest gust of wind tips the umbrella over. The recommended base comes with brackets that should connect the weighted containers together. Well, the brackets are too short to do that making the base very unstable. As a result, the best that you can hope for is that the weight of the base is heavy enough (filled to the brim with water) to counter any gust of wind. I even tried stacking the water filled base to stabilize the umbrella, but to no avail. This umbrella has tipped over 3 times within the past 3 weeks causing the ribs to snap like twigs. And because the ribs are plastic, there is no way to repair them. Finally, what looks like a sturdy well made umbrella is no more than a poorly designed heap of plastic that happens to be easy to assemble and that’s it. It’s too cumbersome for me to return. I didn’t save the packaging. For the sheer safety of my family, I’m going to pay someone to junk it and resort to staying inside during the hottest part of the day. I can’t express how disappointed I am. Do not buy this product!

I have been looking for a solution for a double table design and I have found it.
This floating umbrella has a great design and simple assembly.
Assembly consists of 4 bolts and two spring pin clicks. Simple!
It is well packaged. It includes a small wrench for the four bolts and easy instructions with pictures.
The umbrella is made of durable material that can go from storage to open in seconds.
The elegant and simple handle moves the umbrella from storage to hanging.
I have looked for awhile and the comparative value is impressive.
Here are a few things to note. The base is light so I am going to inquire as what the company suggests to weight the base. There are screw holes that will allow for it to be secured.
Take a look. I would recommend it.

First video review! Totally worth it. Both Lowe’s and Home Depot have umbrellas that are very similar in quality but cost 3x as much. The color is very accurate and the build seems sturdy. Don’t really have any cons… I suppose it would be nice if a base was included or maybe some led lighting but overall this is a great buy.

It looks great and easy to operate. Assembled it myself today and I’m a 74yo woman! 😯
It’s well-made and easy to put together. It’s four bolts to attach the post to the feet. All other adjustments are nicely engineered allowing manual securing of the cantilevered segment to the bottom post. That’s all.
As time passes, I will update the review if the umbrella in any way fails to meet expectations. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying this fine product.
FYI
I used the Rhino Base Mate because I can handle the sand bags myself and move the umbrella at will. I will review that product later.

This umbrella is very easy to set-up and adjust. If you do not have a way to stabilize the umbrella, you will need the weighted base (or sand bags, etc.). I have to say that I am completely blown-away by this company’s customer service! I mainly shop online, and every company experiences issues with customers and products at one time or another. How companies respond to issues is what sets some in a class of their own, and this company has surpassed my expectations with its exceptional customer service! When I ordered this umbrella, I missed the information regarding the weighted base. I am using this umbrella for a patio in a city apartment, so I have no way to stabilize the umbrella without the weighted base. This company went above and beyond to help me get what I need to use the umbrella as soon as possible. This level of customer service is hard to find, so I want to stress that this company is amazing! I highly recommend this umbrella and this company.

This umbrella was easy to set up even for me. Moreover, the process to open the umbrella is very smooth and easy to do. As recommended, we did get a base that we filled with water to anchor the umbrella. On breezy days, the umbrella itself has swayed a bit but the support poles with the base have been rock steady. Just as important, the ability to tilt the umbrella at various angles ensures that the umbrella provides shade where needed. The beige color complements the color scheme of our home. Needless to say, we have really enjoyed it on our patio.
One note is that somehow the plastic insert at the top of the lower pole had inexplicably become distorted and twisted. This issue did not adversely affect the umbrella at all But I contacted the seller about the possibility of getting a replacement anyway. Murphy of Bluu Patio Umbrella replied promptly, determined what the problem was, and quickly sent out a replacement part for free. When stories abound about poor or non-existent customer service, it was a pleasure to find out that Blue PatIo Umbrella does actually provide fantastic customer service and stand behind its products.
All in all, we have really enjoyed this umbrella. We look forward to enjoying the shade from this umbrella for a long time to come.
