Best Choice Products 10ft Solar Polyester LED Lighted Patio Umbrella w/Tilt Adjustment and UV-Resistant Fabric - Sky Blue

I am very pleased with this umbrella! Because:- It stands up well to a nice breeze; we haven't had it open in any severe winds yet.- It looks great (I got the navy color)- It feels high-quality (the canvas is thick and opaque)- The crank system works wonderfully- The tilt mechanism works and makes the umbrella useful in the evening hours as the sun is settingSome considerations for you as you decide whether or not to purchase:- The crank is underneath the canvas when the umbrella is fully closed. So you have to stick your hand underneath the canvas to start cranking without being able to see what you are doing. This isn't a problem, just something to be aware of.- The LED lights didn't work at first but it was an EASY FIX. You unscrew the solar panel at the top to reach the wires; I was able to see the plug was unplugged so I plugged it in and screwed the solar panel back on. Works perfectly now.- The umbrella recommends having a weight of at least 100lbs to weigh it down. I didn't realize this and only purchased a stand that weighed about 20l bs. This required another purchase to put the proper amount of weight on the stand.

My patio has almost no shade, and sitting at the patio table when the sun is out can get fairly brutal. The table is glass, and aside from the sun roasting you from overhead, the reflected light from the table top is enough to blind you.I didn't expect much from this umbrella when I bought it. I'd had a couple of others in the past and they tend to last 2 or 3 years before the UV destroys the fabric. If the UV doesn't get them, surprise gusts of wind will bend them into exciting new shapes. However, in the 4 years I've owned it, this has been the best patio umbrella I've had so far. Here are the high and low points:The good:-The umbrella opens using a crank mechanism, which pulls a cord that opens up all the arms. After oiling the crank, it operates very smoothly. I didn't expect the cord to last this long but it has and it shows no signs of fraying. You can set it to whatever opening you want and it stays in place until you decide to close the umbrella back up. Very well done.-The tilt mechanism allows me to angle the umbrella to block the sun as it rises in the morning. This means that if the weather is nice I get to have breakfast outside with the dogs without getting hit with a ton of direct sunlight. I didn't know I wanted this feature until I had it. Again, I recommend oiling the pivot and the button that locks it in place. Doing so made operation a lot smoother. I used regular household oil similar to 3 in 1 for this and it works fine.-LED lights inside the umbrella are nice to have. I'm not sure they're bright enough to read by but it's nice to have the option to switch them on at night. They recharge with a small solar panel that's built into the top of the umbrella and are maintenance-free.-The umbrella is surprisingly durable. On mine, one of the arms is bent after a gust of wind launched it into the air and then smashed it into the ground. Yep, I forgot to close it again. Unfortunately this little adventure destroyed the solar panel at the top of the umbrella so it no longer charges the batteries and the LEDs no longer work, but the umbrella itself still opens and closes fine and works well. The color has faded quite a bit from the sunlight but it has faded evenly and the fabric is still intact. I'm honestly surprised at the level of abuse it has endured.The bad:-The ONLY bad thing I can say about this umbrella is that the crank is so high up on the main shaft that it's awkward to reach under the closed umbrella to open it. Same thing with closing it-- you end up practically laying on the table and reaching awkwardly up to crank it open or shut. You can sort of get around this by lifting up the arms to get them out of the way and then turning the crank to put tension on the cable, but it always feels like I'm going to bend one of the arms that way.Overall this umbrella has proven to be way more durable and usable than I would have thought. The LEDs are nice to have but not a deal maker/breaker for me, but the quality has been way better than expected. When it comes time to replace it (I'm thinking it will at least last another summer, perhaps longer) I will probably buy another one just like it. This time I'll try to remember to close it during a storm.

First of all, this is a stunning umbrella that feels and looks far more expensive than it is. But just as importantly, this seller stands behind their product. One of the arm holders ripped off ours, and even though I bought it more than a year ago, they are sending a replacement! Outstanding customer service!

Love the color, blue. Size and the subsequently amount of shade.Glad that some other reviewers commented on the attaching of the plugs at the top so the lights would work.The lights are a lovely decorative touch, they add no usable light to the deck after dark

We purchased one in the summer of 2023 and loved how the lights looked at night. I purchased a second one in April 2024 when we moved to a new home. Again - great quality, but the lights were not staying on very long. I contacted support and had a response the same day. The Best Products Company shipped me a replacement within 3 days. Kudos to their rep, Charlotte, for her quick response time and for meeting the customer's needs. I will strongly recommend this company and their products to anyone.

Good quality for price. Easy set up. Looks great. Love the lights.

I am thoroughly impressed with Best Choice Products! I recently had an issue with my umbrella, which unfortunately broke. I contacted their customer service, and they exceeded my expectations. They responded quickly and efficiently, handling everything without any hassle. Within a short time, they replaced my umbrella, showing that they truly stand by their products.Speaking of the product itself, I couldn’t be happier. The umbrella is not only well-designed and durable, but it also comes with LED lights that add a beautiful ambiance to my balcony in the evenings. For the price, you truly cant beat the quality. It’s rare to find a company that offers such great products and backs them up with outstanding customer service. I’m a very happy customer and highly recommend Best Choice Products!

I have had this umbrella for three years and I left it open during a tornado so it snapped. Which I can hardly blame the manufacturer for. I am getting exactly the same one as replacement. The lights are nothing to write home about, they don’t generate enough light to really light the table under. But I found the mechanism to close and open the umbrella easy to use and it held up in a hurricane prone Florida wetness for a good amount of time. I would recommend it. Do close it during high winds though!
