Blissun 9' Outdoor Patio Umbrella, Outdoor Table Umbrella, Yard Umbrella, Market Umbrella with 8 Sturdy Ribs, Push Button Tilt and Crank

The Material is sturdy and durable! It held up well in wind and a rainy day. It was also easy to install and sewn very well. Love the black and white striped! Looks elegant.

Nice umbrella. Light,easy to use. Great value. Tilt is nice. I have 7 older versions around pool. This works best, nice material.

Love it! Color is beautiful. Looks great in my backyard by the pool. And it seems to be pretty sturdy, good quality.

I would have given this five stars but I haven't had it long enough to see if it fades. The metal pole and the mechanisms are very sturdy. The fabric is thin but not too thin like some of those really cheap Umbrellas. Fabric is lightweight, but a very good quality look. So many colors to choose from and I choose one that was kind of a light beige. Very nice umbrella, especially for the price. So far if my yard required more umbrellas I would buy another one.

I bought this umbrella two years and two months and 9 days ago, and it’s still holding up well. If I wanted to take better care of it, I would put it away in the winter time, but I like the snow protection, because I like to use my deck and BBQ all year around. Of course, there is a natural bit of fading, our summers get over 100°, winters can drop below zero, snow can get very deep, over a foot sometimes (in those cases, I lower it and knock the snow off). From underneath, there are a few little wrinkly-looking spots, (not actually wrinkly, though), maybe an inch or two long, 1/8 or less wide, in just a few areas here and there that may be wearing thinner. That comes from my use of it. The way I treat it, I might expect to want to buy one next year or the year after that. If I put it away in the winter time, or covered it when not in use, I would easily at least double the life of it. When there are going to be high winds, and I’m aware of it, then I lower it down, but it has held up at least in 20 mile an hour winds. Of course, it’s smart to lower it, even cover it if you’re not going to use it, but sometimes I leave things on the table under the umbrella, because I know it will protect them. So I very rarely lower it down. If it has a heavy snow load, I will lower it to knock it off. Anything over 3 inches of snow, I will probably knock it off. Because it is kept affordable, I recommend it. I did buy a second one to use for a different area in my yard that will get less usage, so it will be lowered more often. But I also think of sun fade, and if I want it to fade evenly, then it’s better to leave it up…or lower and cover it. Where to lower it at not cover it, I would expect it to develop stripes over time from uneven sun fade, as is obvious, but something people overlook and then complain about (totally their fault). There’s a novel idea, lowering and covering it, but not something I do, so up it stays 99% of the time. Lowering it down and covering it would, of course, extend the life of it even further. All the mechanisms are properly made, the pole is sturdy and tilts; it’s not some rinky-dink, cheap pole or mechanism. You can rely on it. And I love the 2 colors I bought (they are out of sight of each other, though they would be complementary). You will need an umbrella stand…I had a neighbor that didn’t seem to understand this concept, and twice I pulled her umbrella out of the street after a little wind, because she would leave it up and did not have a stand. That basically makes it a wind sail. A good one is worth the price. Buy a good one. It’s no place to skimp. And it’s how will you attach it to that stand that matters. If I didn’t have the type of stand I have, (a good, vintage steel plate with the post to receive the umbrella post, and bolts with wing nuts to secure it) I would have the heavy stand, but I would drill into the stand (apparently not all stands actually have a hole for this, and put a screw or bolt in on 2 sides, and it won’t be able to fly up and out of it. I’ve seen people put their umbrella in the stand, but not actually secure the two together by bolting through the receiving post and the umbrella post, and tightening it down so the bolt can’t fall out, and then they wonder why their umbrella flew away. The stand can’t hold your umbrella down unless you lock the two together. Hence the bolts or screws. I know, it should go without saying, but then again…we all see the complainers who don’t get it. And theoretically, one could use anything that is wider than the hole in the table (if that’s your application) where you put the post that can be securely locked onto the bottom of the post is enough to keep it from flying away, even if it were lightweight, as long as it didn’t come off, and wouldn’t fly up and potentially be hard enough with a high force wind to break a glass tabletop. A fairly flat (1/4”-1/2”) circular solid steel umbrella base with the flange is best. It’s heavy, and one can tip the umbrella stand and roll it on the edge to relocate it, and there’s no clunky, bulky base full of sand or water to interfere with where your feet go when you stretch your legs. Plus, those bulky plastic ones seem to crack and break on people. As long as these stay affordable, I’ll keep recommending them, and would definitely buy them as a gift, or to have more of them in my large yard. I like having different spots to hang out.

I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this patio umbrella! I bought it to replace a much more expensive umbrella that broke after 2 months and thought I would take a chance on this one since it was less expensive. The pole is heavy metal but I was most concerned about the crank thinking it might be cheaply made and be tough to operate. Not at all! The crank works smoothly and is also made of metal rather than plastic. The tilting mechanism also operates easily. The canvas cover is a nice quality and drapes well. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and the fact that I saved $100! Buy this over the more expensive ones!

Broke from wind...my fault. Great umbrella!

I really like this outdoor umbrella. I bought the green one and the yellow one. Works great for me. I sit under it just about everyday while doing exercises. Opens and closes just fine. Gives good shade too. I usually have a cat or two under it with me. They gave it a two paws up.lol. Definitely worth the money. It fit my old umbrella stand perfectly. I will buy another couple of them when mine wear out.

Loved the colour and tilt function. Height was too high for me so had to cut down the support pole. Not hard to do.

Had about a year. Soft / occasional use thus far. Not fading. Love the colour. Stitching poorly done in a couple of areas

Ordered orange but recieved red. We live remotely and it is a huge hassel to return as it was to recieve. The quality is poor.This is a very light weight umbrella that will have a limited life. Nowhere on the box or with the literature does it indicate this to be a Blissun umbrella. Beware of this seller. Will buy next umbella direct from seller to be sure I get quality and the colour I want.

Where to begin..... It leaks, it's always been challenging to tilt and lower. After two years it is completely faded and stained.

As advertised.
