Customer Reviews for California Umbrella 9 ft. Bronze Aluminum Pole Market Aluminum Ribs Auto Tilt Crank Lift Patio Umbrella in Sunflower Yellow Sunbrella

I spent many months searching for a quality umbrella with heavy duty fabric to withstand the Florida sunshine at an affordable price. This umbrella definitely fit the bill! Fast shipping too!

Nice umbrella overall. Material is sturdy. Color is good. Only problem is the crank to use to get it to tilt. It is extremely tight and difficult to get to tilt. The tilt is not enough after struggling to get it to that point.

Easy purchase and delivery of a high quality product.

The ribs of the umbrella are hollow and fragile. Two of them broke after a small fall on my wooden deck as I was installing the new umbrella to the middle of the table. There are no individual replacements for the ribs so if any of them break the whole structure needs to be replaced which is about the same cost of the whole umbrella.

I shopped around at other sites , but this one was just what I needed at a reasonable price.

Home Depot did a great job from the ordering of the umbrella to the picking up of it at the store.

Looks great. Happy with Sunbrella fabric.

Replaced another of the same after at least five years. Love it!

It's attractive and sturdy enough for our dining table. If it was left free-standing, it would fall over from a gust of wind even with a heavy base.

It turned out that 9 feet was not a big enough umbrella for the location we had in mind. So we had to return the umbrella. The umbrella itself was well made and worked well. The return process was excellent. And the staff there were all helpful and friendly and knowledgable .

After only several months of use, the crank mechanism will no longer open the umbrella. Super disappointing. For this price point there should be zero issues.

Very good quality umbrella. The cranberry color was exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend this umbrella.

Very well made. Sunbrella fabric matches our cushions.

Very well made and looks nice in our backyard

I bought a $99 umbrella from Home Depot a year ago that is much better in usability and size than this $200 umbrella. The crank is difficult to turn especially for it to tilt. I am a weight lifter. Also it’s smaller in size than my cheaper 9” umbrella. The blue color is lighter than I expected also. Not a good value for my money.

High quality sturdy umbrella

Attractive umbrella made of good quality olefin fabric that holds up better than the thin polyester that many cheaper umbrellas are made of. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the sheath in which the crank mechanism sits is made of plastic vs. metal, unlike my old umbrella. Wondering how well that will hold up over time. Otherwise, as expected.

We've had two of these California umbrellas, but despite their much higher price their quality was lower than those of other companies' products we've had over the years. In both umbrellas the stitching unravelled quickly. In both, the cable broke (with only moderate usage in an inland location) and there is apparently no cost-effective way to repair. In all cases, this occurred within a year or two, but outside the warranty period. (Other companies offer lifetime warranties) What was most annoying was the zero responsiveness by "customer service": no regrets, no offer of help. Nothing. Given the alternatives with better prices, we will never go back to this company.
