California Umbrella 7.5' Market Umbrella

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our last umbrella got damaged due to high winds and this patio umbrella looked like a good replacement. It comes in 2 pieces and is very easy to assemble. It looks well made and is easy to open and close. This one does not have the crank mechanism to open/close but is the old approach to push up and attach. The color is very bright and nice and is a good addition to our backyard. Now we must remember to close when there are high wind advisories.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] California Umbrella's are usually great and this one is no exception. It expands and contracts fairly easily and it's made very well. I also love the color! Can't wait to use it even more in summertime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have just recently starting using the California Umbrella Venture Series. All I can say is so far so good. I have not had any issues opening it closing the umbrella. The material ses like good quality fabric, the pole is sturdy. We have even had some strong winds and the California Umbrella held up just fine. I will be recommending to family and friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to replace my old outdoor umbrella as they all eventually start getting discolored and beat up. This one was appealing as the color matches my furniture perfectly and feels super sturdy in my existing holder. It goes up easily and stays up with a standard pin set up. Hope it lasts as long as the last one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this umbrella. It is sturdy, solid quality not flimsy or wobbly. I have it inserted in a 110lb base and the pole did not sway when we had some wind. It is made of aluminum so it will not rust either. Also, the ribs are made of fiberglass which held the canopy up well. The crank mechanism is smooth and works easily too. The canopy is made of Sunbrella fabric which is going to really help with fading where I am.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in sunny California, and needless to say umbrella‘s, or some thing that we use year-round. This umbrella is awesome. It provides lots of shade, and the Jockey red color compliments our backyard. It's easy to open, and looks great in our umbrella stand between our lounge chairs.I'm a big fan of this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have moved to a bigger place recently with a backyard, and I have been looking for a patio umbrella as nice addition for the decor. I have come across this umbrella and I am very impressed with how amazing it is. First the umbrella is made of superb sturdy materials and you will know it's better than most on the market and it's durable. Also, the umbrella is very stylish and it's making my backyard look more luxurious. The umbrella filter the UV light and provides good shade for the backyard. Lastly the umbrella is very easy to assemble and it only takes less than 10 mins. I am impressed with the quality of the product!

We ordered 5 of these last year and ordered another 5 for another location. Love the size and colors stay true despite the sun.

This is a seemingly well built product, however it is not as described. The lift mechanism is MANUAL not pulley. Hayneedle: change the specs on this!? I've exchanged for a different Hayneedle umbrella, this time easier to operate.

The color was exactly what I needed. However the umbrella didn't have a crank nor a tilt. Thus I had to return it for another style.
