The first parasol I received was a "dud": you could not tighten the screws to keep the parasol in place in the stand and the cable to open and close the parasol snapped within a 3 months or so. However, the lady I emailed was very friendly and helpful and arranged for a replacement. The replacement parasol works a treat and I have no hesitate recommending the product of seller.

Item was delivered quickly enough, extra thickness of the fabric on this model gives very good shade.The general plastics seem a bit flimsy and time will tell how long they will stand up to use.Disadvantage is that if you site the parasol on a permanent concrete base as I have done,then you must leave a lot of space behind for the mechanism to open out. Overall good value for the money. (Posted on 23/07/2010)

Works well and provides shade very effectively. (Posted on 09/07/2010)

I am more than happy with my Parasol, its construction and materials are first class at a reasonable price.
I was not, however, very impressed with the time it took the supplier to process my order, well over a week to send it out from the warehouse,when upon ordeing it I was told it was in stock! Possibly take lessons from Amazon etc.!!
From despatch, though, delivery was prompt.
Sent 'E' mail asking for explanation for delay in processing order but failed to receive a reply, surprise surprise! Doubt also that this review will be published, Ian COOPER. (Posted on 27/06/2010)

the parasol is very easy to install and is extreamly stable if installed as advised in instructions
It can be installed by one person
In short this is a brilliant purchase (Posted on 24/06/2010)
