Customer Reviews for California Umbrella 7-1/2 ft. Aluminum Push Tilt Patio Market Umbrella in Black Pacifica

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow what a great looking umbrella that serves my patio well. The look itself is very modern and stylish. Love the black. I had to knock off a star for function - find it difficult to raise the umbrella and get it to stay up. Not sure what the problem is. I just held it up with my hand for the photo. Once I can get that squared away this will be an excellent addition to my patio. Love the tilt and ease to crank.

This umbrella requires minimum assembly. Just need to attach the bottom half of the pole to the top with the umbrella. The umbrella is very easy to crank open and close. The crank is very smooth. To tilt the umbrella, I do try to be careful not to allow the umbrella to drop into a tilted position. It took me a few tries to press the button hard enough to begin the tilt, and I kept control of the umbrella to tilt it slowly. To lift it back into the upright position, it was very easy to do. I am 5'5" and I was able to reach the tilt button easily. I do need to tiptoe in order to control the tilt. The umbrella tilts to the right or the left. If the sun circles around like it does around my deck, I will have to turn the umbrella as the sun circles around my deck. Maybe it would have been better if the pole was a little shorter. I got the red one, and the color is pretty. My pups get to sit in the shade now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The California Umbrella 7.5' Pacific Trail Series Patio Umbrella is great quality. The umbrella has a stone black aluminum pole with a aluminum ribs push button tilt crank lift .It is the perfect shade solution for my patio and table. I like the pacifica black fabric that adds an elegant look and easy to clean. I would definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been having rain storms all week, but finally jad a beaitiful sunny say today, so I set up the umbrella. It was pretty easy to do, but I would reccomend 2 people as I am quiet short and feel like some added height would have made it easier and quicker. Seems to be good quality!

Perfect size for my 10X10 patio. I already have red cushions for my loveseat and 2 chairs, plus a "wall hugger" Sunbrella Umbrella. I purchased this umbrella for the tilt feature, want to shade my small patio as the afternoon sun progresses. Very pleased this fabric color matches my deep seat cushions

Really nice umbrella. Easy to put together. Very happy with my purchase.

This is an attractive umbrella with a good quality fabric. The gingko color looks great with all my deck plants. Unfortunately the Home Depot website does not give guidance on what base to buy for the umbrella. Most are sold out and unavailable on line. The large Home Depot store in my town does not carry any bases to go with these umbrellas. The base I purchased weighed 35 lbs., but the three adaptors were all too narrow for the diameter of this pole. After returning the base to Home Depot, I went to another outdoor furniture store and bought a second base that was sure to work. Once again the adaptors were either too small and one was too large. They weren't adjustable so I had to return this second base. Now I'm just going to return the umbrella, because it's become such a big hassle. Home Depot's website should "pair" bases that'll work with the diameter of the California Umbrella poles. The actual pole diameter should be included on the website (not just of the umbrella's height/diameter, and pole height). If the stores carried a range of bases matched to the umbrellas that are sold, I probably could've made this work.

Nice quality, vibrant red color. Perfect size for a smaller patio table. Can’t give excellent rating until I know if it retains the color for more than one season.

This is a very high quality patio umbrella. The color is a light, silvery gray, with the pattern and thickness of lawn chair fabric. It actually looks like my lawn chairs. It is heavy, has the tilt feature, and has a strap for closure. The size fit my smaller table perfectly.

This product is great! Assembly was easy.

Like this umbrella very much. took a chance on the color and it matches chair cushions so it's a win-win!

Nice material easy to assembleLooking forward to years of enjoyment

Looks lovely. Photo is accurate.

The umbrellas were nice. I did not realize the coverage of the fabric was less than my older umbrellas. Better instructions when ordering would have been useful. Love the color.

Great product. Well made. Wrap around tie is a plus. Just the right size for our small rectangular patio table.

The color is beautiful. Very easy to assemble and tilt as needed.
