Best Choice Products 10ft Solar Polyester LED Lighted Patio Umbrella w/Tilt Adjustment and UV-Resistant Fabric - Fog Gray

I purchased the umbrella in the "rust" color with the solar lights, received it within a few days as expected, and set it up incredibly easily. The lights popped right on when switched on, and it looked beautiful on my deck! Easy to take up and down, sturdy, thick material, keeps clean easily - and the lights are really a great touch.After only one use, something within the lights stopped working and the lights wouldn't switch on. I contacted their customer service team, received a very quick response, and answered a few very easy troubleshooting questions (in my case, I had already tried these, but some people may not have - and would have been good to know in those cases... make sure that the solar panel wire did not detach from the main lighting wire, that the solar panel had ample time to charge in direct sunlight, and (if not a brand new product) you may eventually need to replace the rechargeable battery within. I responded to the questions and received another prompt response from their customer service team thanking me for the additional information, and informing me that a brand new order (entire new umbrella w/solar panel + lights) would be coming my way. Sure enough, a few days later, I have my new umbrella, which is working great.Having a great product that looks beautiful and does what you need it to do is of course super important (and after getting the replacement, it does ALL the things!) - but to me, having stellar customer service like what I just experienced could be even more of a factor when choosing between many options. 5/5 would HIGHLY recommend!

These umbrellaa are fabulous! The Cerulean Blue color is so vibrant and the solar lights along the spines are very cool. The 7.5' size is perfect for our backyard. We bought two. Highly recommend this item.

Lights do act odd after being outside for about a year. Best way is to test the lights once a week. After that I had zero issues. Colors will fade, we get direct sunlight and any fabric would fade. Umbrella is durable and basic tip, tie the umbrella down in high winds. I have bought my second one after the first lasted 5 years. The second one is just a replacement for looks. The first still does work. I would buy as a gift zero issue.

I wish I could give this product 4.5 stars (or even 5 stars if it would get as much attention for the slight detractors it has) because it really is a great product and great value for the price.The 7.5' umbrella is a great size on our smaller size patio and the green color is lovely and feels true to what we saw in the pictures. The angle feature works easily and feels sturdy as it latches into place when straight upright or tilted in either direction. We haven't had much wind in our area since having it so I don't know about how well it stands up to that yet.We're very picky about the tone of light in our home (prefer warm light to white light) and were concerned about the LED lights being too blue, but they turned out to be perfect. They illuminate everything in a soft and even blue glow that feels more like moon or starlight than your typical bright and harsh LED blue light. Pictures attached for brightness reference.The crank function to open and close the umbrella works well but is the only reason I did detract 1 star. When opening the umbrella, the rope which moves the umbrella support catches slightly on the button which tilts the umbrella. Only a slight annoyance and easily fixed once we figured it out. When closing the umbrella though, the rope seems to have been coiling back on itself (inside of the umbrella shaft) if we don't help to move the support down by hand as we continue to crank the umbrella down. Again, only a slight annoyance once we figured it out but it stands worth mentioning for anyone shopping for a new umbrella (and hopefully save some confusion and having to figure it out on your own for anyone who does choose this umbrella). It would also be nice if it came with a cover for storage, but I'm sure we can find something that will fit/work for it.I would definitely recommend this product and would buy it again!

Nice looking, sturdy, and the lights are great.
