Super Fast Shipping, January 2, 2010
This review is from: 9' Outdoor Parasol Market Umbrella - Driftwood
Very fast shipping. I am impressed! Umbrella is OK, nothing special, but very nice for the money. I have a vacation rental and we go through a lot of umbrellas: guests do not close the umbrellas when they leave, a burst of wind and umbrella snaps in half! I am so glad I can find a regular 9 ft umbrella for a very cheap price. Makes it almost disposable! I am going to order a bunch of these, keep them in storage and not worry about breakage so much. Thanks Amazon!

Looks great, April 13, 2010
This review is from: 9' Outdoor Parasol Market Umbrella - Driftwood
We have no shade on the patio, so summertime BBQs usually have to start on the late side. I'm really excited for this season, with this umbrella. A couple of things to note. The pole is made of wood, which makes me a little bit nervous of a strong wind breaking it at the seam (two metal collars screw together to form the pole). At the same time, this umbrella costs a lot less than a new glass table, so I'd rather the umbrella give, than to have to pick up pieces of the table. I've thought about making a collar for the whole seam out of painted PVC pipe, but I haven't looked into too hard yet. Being two parts will definitely make it easier to store away for winter. I'm getting ready to make a stand for umbrella using a large terracotta pot, a length of PVC pipe, and some quikrete. Toss on some rocks or colored pebbles on top for a finished look. Most of the stands I've found are a bit too light, so this is an easier (cheaper) and heavier solution. The pulley system to raise and lower the umbrella is pretty slick, I'm happy about that. It means the umbrella will be more likely to be put down at night. For the price of these umbrellas, I'm pretty happy. I'm thinking of buying a couple more for larger backyard parties.

Good quality umbrella for a great price!, April 15, 2010
This review is from: 9' Outdoor Parasol Market Umbrella - Driftwood
This market umbrella arrived quickly and was carefully packaged. I love the natural mocha color of the fabric, and it seems to be a sturdy, "sunbrella" type fabric that will likely resist fading over time. You can't beat this awesome price for a 9 ft wide umbrella! I almost want to buy another one, just to have on hand! This market umbrella is exactly like it was described on-line and the color is exactly what it looks like in the photo. The pulley that opens the umbrella is also really easy to operate, as some market umbrellas (in the same price range) that I have owned in the past were quite a struggle to pull and prop open and then peg. This one is super easy to pull open and peg to hold it open. Great deal, great product, great service!
