Summary: Patio umbrella review (sort of)
Comment: The umbrella I ordered is fine, just what I had hoped it would be. However, I subsequently ordered an umbrella stand (after you prompted me to do so) and when it arrived the two tightening screws in the shaft had been damaged in shipment. Each of the screws have plastic knobs and the knobs were broken off. As a result when one tightens them the broken plastic is sharp enough to cut skin. I have tried unsuccessfully to find replacements at a hardware store. Any suggestions?

Summary: Excellence in Coverage
Comment: The umbrella was quite a score through amazon - including the shipping & handling. It was still cheaper than Walmart! lol......additionally, it is of great quality. We utilize this umbrella for our bistro table and our porch now is all green. It is sturdy and even withstood being blow over with Tropical Storm Tammy! Twice!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Enough & Looks great
Comment: These are very handsome umbrellas that appear sturdy and well constructed. I like the mechanism for raising and lowering the umbrella -- very low tech and smart. My one "issue" with them is really not their fault but my own inexperience in what to look for -- they are totally stationary, and don't have a tilting feature. That might be standard, I just don't know, but I would have wanted that flexibility. Oh, and the wood is nicely stained and the brass fittings are rather shiny but thankfully basically invisible. And they're simple to put together and take apart. Great price and they block the sun and look terrific.

Summary: Good Quality Umbrella - pole is straight! (redesign?)
Comment: Bought this umbrella last week (9/23/05) from Amazon. Was initially hesitant about purchasing it due to other reviews describing the issue with the pole being in two pieces, which, when connected, were never straight.
All I want to add here is that I did not experience this problem. The screw mechanism which joins the poles seems sturdy, and the pole appears perfectly straight. I wonder if other people had bought umbrellas from a bad batch or that the manufacturer redesigned the connection mechanism? (The most recent reviews do not mention this problem)
Re. overall quality, I can't speak for how the pole or the umbrella itself will wear over time, but at least initially it looks to be of good quality and sturdy construction. One thing to note is that despite the product description and picture making it look like the pole is made of wood, it appears to be actually made of some sort of metal which is wood coloured (it still looks like wood though and would not look out of place with wooden patio furniture). To be honest I actually prefer this, since I would imagine it won't discolour as easily as natural wood and should be longer lasting.
In summary, am very pleased with my purchase - I would happily recommend it to others looking for a good quality umbrella at a very reasonable price.
