Alpha Joy 13x6.5ft Double-Sided Extra Large Outdoor Patio Market Rectangle Umbrella with Crank Handle, Haze Blue

so far so good, helps block out sun obviously and hope it'll last at least one summer being open continuously to help shade plants from afternoon desert sun. easy to open, guess it's easy to assembled.

I bought this in TAN and the color is really nice to keep things bright and the sun out. It is triple vented to aide in staying up when it is windy and it keeps the area beneath cooler. The quality is great and I love shopping with AlphaMarts and Phi Villa products. The base is not included in this 13 ft.

I was Leary of buying this type umbrella due to reviews of flimsy and cheap materials. I took a chance on the Phi Villa after positive reviews and reading how well it was made. I was happy to have bought this umbrella, not only is it large then other's - but it includes the bottom stand necessary to keep such a large umbrella upright. (comes with two zip-up bags to fill with 100lbs of sand) The stand includes square framing, two sand bags and cover to enclose the bags within the framing) I am very happy with this purchase! Best Deal I've found on a patio umbrella w/15ft coverage.

Love love love my umbrella. So much I bought another….In fact I recommended to other family members and they also purchased. You just need to know that the base needs addl weight added to make sturdy. We used 4 -50lb bags of play sand! Inexpensive and great use!

Before purchasing this umbrella I was using 2 Round umbrellas to provide the same coverage. My patio is rectangular so this all-in-one umbrella fits perfectlly and also allows me the flexibility to store away in the winter. Great idea on the base and easy enough to put together. WIN / WIN

We just received our twin umbrella last week. It was exactly what we were looking for. Here in Texas this time of year it is so hot. We have a pool, but it's hard to hangout out there when it is so hot. So, we were looking for some type of cover to provide some of shade while we were out there. This was perfect. We used it yesterday. The assembly of the umbrella with the instructions provided were easy to follow and we were able to put it together pretty quickly. The only thing I would change was the bag for the sand. The hole where you put the sand in is small. If the bags were bigger you could just slip the bag of sand right in. The black bags are big enough to hold them. Pouring of the sand was the only issue. Other than that it was very easy to put together. Thanks. John and Sylvia Villanueva

This umbrella is just perfect for my outdoor patio. It's large enough to provide ample shade for my entire family. The 100% polyester fabric canopy of this umbrella is a true lifesaver in the sun. It doesn't just provide shade; it provides excellent shade. The canopy is not only effective but also durable. It has shown no signs of wear and tear. What's particularly impressive is that the canopy color hasn't faded at all. The crank handle ensures a smooth and hassle-free operation of this umbrella. I've used umbrellas in the past that required significant effort to open and close, but not this one. The crank handle simplifies the process, making it a joy to use. Whether I'm enjoying a leisurely day in the backyard or a spontaneous outing, I appreciate how quickly and effortlessly I can set up this umbrella to enjoy its shade.

Just opened it today and can't wait to use it this summer. We haven't used it so I cannot comment on its durability. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it does not have a cover for it while it is closed to protect it nor does it have anything to tie it together to keep it closed while it is collapsed. Either one would have been great!

The construction of the framework and pole are great, but the cloth material is a little thin (not the same quality or thickness level as Sunbrella) and it did not have any tie strings attached to it. So I have to use some bungee cords to tie it down, when not in use. It's not that big of a deal, but for the price, it's still a great value.

umbrella is big and colorful. Mechanisms work fine. Stand is held in place with sand you buy and put in supplied bags. Umbrella material is pretty thin. I have already noticed a couple of small holes. If the material were more substantial, I would have rated it higher
