Customer Reviews for California Umbrella 11 ft. Bronze Aluminum Pole Market Fiberglass Collar Tilt Crank Lift Outdoor Patio Umbrella in SunflowerYellow Sunbrella

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

We have had this umbrella for 2 years. Always put it away in the winter. Covered it from the sun during summer. Always took lowered the umbrella if it was windy. Today the frame above the crank bent almost in half so it is now usless. The winds today according to Accuweather were 8 MPH with gusts to 10 MPH. Clearly not a windy day. Tried to upload a picture to the review but I kept getting unexpected errors so sorry --no picture. For the price of this umbrella the pole should not bend in half. I have had umbrellas at the beach where we had significant winds and had no problems.

The manufacturer doesnt stand behind warranty and is very challenging to work with - unevenness in fibers and hand crank doesnt operate well

It blows over....LIterALLY

Did not open. Returned to store

The umbrella is very nice. Seems to be well made though it is only one month old. Only desire would be that an additional tie would be helpful higher up on the umbrella. Because of the three tier design the upper tiers of cloth flap and catch the wind. It would be neater with an additional tie and prevent the wind from disturbing the umbrella.

Umbrella is not made of one solid pole, the connector in the middle part of the pole is a loose fit so it wobbles even in the lightest breeze, falls over

Perfect! Just what I ordered.

The fabric color (spectrum aztec) is a little lighter than it appears on line - it is teal. The fabric seems to be good quality as do the ribs and mechanism. On the down side the umbrella is too tall - over nine feet and that's taller than it needs to be. I have it on my deck and it doesn't need that kind of height to clear the rail. I may take a hack saw to it when the warranty is out. My concern with quality is with the fact that pole seems very flimsy the bottom piece especially. The top is a loose fit into the bottom pole allowing for wobble and my concern is that wobbling could cause wallowing. I'm hoping that the pole is sturdier than it seems but it is very light weight and doesn't inspire confidence. The umbrella is beautiful and for that reason we are going to keep it and hope for the best. I am recommending it because the fabric and mechanism seem to be top quality. But how much more could a stouter pole cost? Surely not much. I'm not going to use the tilt because from past experience a tilted canopy will catch even the slightest breeze putting even more stress on the pole (twisting as well as rocking). I'm giving it 3 stars because of the flimsy feeling wobbly pole. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

During first season of use, the aluminum pole bent over where it was placed in the sleeve beside the pool. My previous umbrella lasted 15 years....this one not even 15 weeks. Now I’m having issues getting it picked up for a refund

Love it!!

Love the umbrella but said I can't order another one

I’m really enjoying the 11 ft umbrella. I replaced a 9 ft umbrella and the extra width blocks the sun better giving us more shade.

This umbrella was exactly what we were expecting.

It’s a great umbrella.

Love it.

Very sturdy umbrella with broad coverage. Easy to tilt. Two layers of fabric let the wind cut through the middle. Not rain proof (by design).

Seems great so far. This is the only place I know that sells the 11 ft diameter umbrellas, and that extra 2 feet really makes a difference in the amount of shade. The crank works well. The tilting option is easy to use. Everything seems well built and sturdy, as usual. I have previously had several of these umbrellas. They stay out on my deck from May through October. I usually get several years (3-5) use out of them before they need replacing. The fabric always holds up, it's the mechanical bits that go for one reason or another.

Very nice & beautiful rich color

The umbrella is exactly what I wanted. The delivery was a month late but that claims to be Corona and BLM protest related

Nice large size and the material is heavier than the nylon ones. Love the auto tilt too! Never had it before but this is definitely the way to go! ❤️

It was a gift. I think they liked it

Great umbrella! I initially ordered the umbrella in natural color, thinking it would be off white, but it is a true white in color. I returned the umbrella and ordered two more in the color canvas which is off white and they are perfect!

We have only had it up for a week or so, so far we love it. Color was perfect. being that it is a dark brown, we are hoping that the fact that it is a sunbrella product we won't have any fading.

Beautiful color and durable!
