This umbrella isn't bad for a cheapie. The pole does have girth, not a problem for me because I'm not using it with a patio table. It fits perfectly in the 60+ pound stand from Costco without the gromet. When the umbrella arrived the first thing I did was teak oil the wood for protection. Three months later, several of the arms are warped and bowing. The shade isn't Sunbrella, I knew that when I purchased it. I would say it is a cross between nylon and canvas, and seems to be fading. I doubt it will make it through two seasons, but for the money it serves the purpose. My local grocery store is selling a similiar umbrella for $59.00, overall not that great of a deal.

The product description clearly states that the pole is 1 7/8 inches around, but I didn't notice it, and I don't think you would either. Problem is this a larger than normal size (guessing 1 1/2) and it won't fit the hole in my brand new table or my brand new base. I noticed it as soon as I took it out of the box, the pole is huge! It looks good, but it will likely not fit your furniture. I've never seen an umbrella with this size pole before.

Also the description states the top is canvas, but it seemed like a much lighter poly material to me. Made in China.

The description of this umbrella states that the diameter of the two piece juniper pole is 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Actually it is 1 7/8 inches in diameter. Since most standard tables have pole openings less than 1 7/8", this umbrella cannot be used with a table, rendering it useless for my purposes. Furthermore, the juniper pole came split.

Unless you want to stick this umbrella in the sand or have a holder or table with a 2" diameter opening, I would avoid this item.

Waited all this time for this great deal. It finally got here and the top of the umbrella where the canvas attaches to the poles was craked in three different place. It was also cracked at the middle junction. It's a pretty one, BUT!

Now I have to figure out how to retun it.

When removing this umbrella from the box a piece of wood dropped to the floor. Obviously a broken piece of wood. It turned out to be one of the umbrella supports. What's upsetting to me is that whoever packaged this umbrella had to have known that this was broken. The piece was completely broken into two pieces. I hate going through the trouble of returning items and having to deal with extra postage etc. So I've decided to repair the borken piece myself. I think that there should be some kind of steps taken to assure that items are not shipped already broken. There was no damaged to the box so the wood had to have been broken BEFORE being packaged.

The umbrella i bought looks good not broken, intact, but the roundness is way to big for a standard umbrella stand, how the heck am I going to get it to fit? The is obviously not normal size on these umbrellas? I really like the umbrella, I don't know what I am going to do with a stand I cant use for this? Who has stands big enough for this embrella?

The product looks wonderful but it does not fit into 2 of my tables with standard size holes so it is a complete negative experience having waited several days. Too expensive to return.

I was ready to push the "buy" button, until I read the reviews. Having read the reviews I am declining to purchase the umbrella. The biggest issue is the diameter of the table opening and the base, which in my case is 1 1/2 inches.

Unfortunately several of the reviews state that the pole turned out to be larger than 1 1/2 inches, more like 1 and 3/4 inches instead of 1 1/2 inches as stated in the description.

This would render the unbrella completely useless, at least in my case. I was specifically looking for an unbrella pole of 1 1/2 inch diameter. I thought I had such a pole until I read the reviews. I am disappointed because I liked every other feature of the umbrella.

Hello,

The picture showed the umbrella with the stand. I was a little surprised to see it arrive and it be the umbrella only. Otherwise, the umbrella is pretty.
