Purchased 3/8/2021. Today 9/25/2022 still looks just as good as it did when we bought it. This was our 3rd. The others just faded, mildewed or broke within a couple months. Highly recommend!Didnt care for the LED lights, cool white, almost blue. Wish they were a warm white. But overall a nice umbrella.The lights work, it is easy to open and shut, and color of the umbrella (navy blue with white striping) is a rich color.What a truly nice umbrella! And the LED lighting is Awesome!!!! Don’t worry about the solar panel fitting in your umbrella bag… it fits with room to spare…. We are thinking about a second one….Great umbrella for the price. I love it!Colors n tilts n solar lightsHappy with my purchaseIt was time to replace my former patio umbrellas that had a good run. I found these on Amazon based on other reviews and for its color scheme. I was intrigued to see the the solar lights. I love to decorate for night time use and it seemed a natural fit. I ordered 2 one for the patio table, and another for a tripod umbrella stand my spouse built for grilling. He is a dedicated grill man rain, shine, day, or night. The solar lights may come in handy for those late night grills. The images above show the gray and black stripe pattern. I included the tilted umbrella image so you can see the pattern, and that the solar panel that is mounted on the top . The solar panel will illuminate the lights on the bottom spokes come night time. I did read someone had trouble with the crank. It is similar to my former umbrella, so I manual lift up a spoke or two and slide my hand up to find the crank if it had been tightly closed. The crank is labeled to alert the user as to which way to twirl the crank to open or close it. It does have a Velcro tie strap to fully secure the closed umbrella.
