Best Choice Products 10x10ft Cantilever Patio Umbrella w/Base Included, Solar LED Lights 360 Rotation Large Offset Hanging Outdoor Shade for Deck Pool Backyard w/Stand – Cerulean

We were over having to take down our gazebo for every hurricane. It was grueling & exhausting each take down. So after researching so many other options & tons of cantilever umbrellas out there, we chose this seller/product & we are so happy we did. Their price was beyond comparison & included all, base, cover, cool lights & a real vented top. We opened our package immediately to check for damages/missing parts…all was great! We then sprayed the umbrella canvas with scotch-guard & let it dry. You definitely need 2 people to get it all put up but it was quick and easy! Lights were already on & working BUT the center light…wt? It does not at all screw in nor stay in place. This was the only defect. We did use double-sided tape so let’s so if that holds up! When getting the umbrella all setup/opened, it down-poured but no rain seeped thru the umbrella so not sure if that’s because of the waterproofing or if it would’ve done that anyways (umbrella material is thick, not cheap material). This umbrella & all its parts are built extremely well & sturdy! The base is massive & awesome. We filled it up with water, then put 4 sandbags on top the base that we had leftover from Hurricane Milton. Also, we purchased straps to secure the umbrella to the pole (another seller’s product found) & this umbrella stays put, no swaying, not much movement at all (we had 20 mph winds with 25 mph gusts). For even more stability, we got a second set of straps to hook onto the opposite side of the umbrella - perfect! If pondering, do not anymore….choose this one! My review is not part of any promotion, it is a sincere review from what we experienced and it’s only to help others out there!

I purchased this umbrella for my mom as a gift and she absolutely loves it! She loves to be outside. It provides more than enough shade on her back porch. I got her the red and it's so pretty and adds a pop of color to her back porch. It's quite pricey, however, you do get a high quality product. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for! It's incredibly easy to use and didn't take long to assemble. It offers many functions and worth the buy!

The color of the umbrella, I got Navy Blue, is beautiful. Assemble was pretty easy, took my daughter and I about 30 minutes. It is heavy so I recommend having another person help you. The base is a little larger than I expected but we have gotten used to it. The ability to angle and turn it 360° is perfect and meets are needs. It is easy to turn with very little effort. I am in my 60’s and have arthritis, I do not have any problem. All parts were there. We filled our base with water, we get some pretty strong winds and so far so good. Of course we put it down when it is too windy or not in use. The lights are an added bonus. They are not super bright but serve the purpose to add some light at night. Our neighborhood only has a few street lights so it is pretty dark at night. I do highly recommend.

The product is great overall! It arrived without any issues...no damage. It is a bit heavy yet manageable for one person by dragging it but much easier to move while packaged if you had help. Assembly was easy and straightforward too. It's in my backyard and gets full sun from sunup until sundown in Georgia. I live in an area that gets windy at times yet it has held up great. I originally put it in one location but later moved it about 8feet to get better use in blocking the sun throughout the day. Moving it once you've filled up the base wasn't challenging at all since the base is in sections which can be moved individually, but it was definitely heavier since I had filled each piece with water already. The only negative thing I've come across is with the cover when I put it away. 1. The pull string on the zipper just fell apart after a month...no big deal since I have string in my garage that I could substitute, but still disappointing. But more disappointing is 2. After 1.5months and it in full sun, as I was closing it for the night, the cover tore making the cover useless. I put the cover over the top of the umbrella, and you'll need to very gently pull it down or the solar panel on top of the umbrella will tear the cover like it did to me. I wasn't forcefully pulling down the cover, just a regular expectation and it tore. I'd recommended that the company make the cover much hardier to be able to withstand full sun environments -and- it be able to not tear during a normal/typical process of putting the cover on. Isn't that what it's supposed to do? Again, I would definitely recommend this umbrella! Just be extra careful with the cover when you go to put it on.

My wife and I have and 12x20 stone patio that gets full direct sunlight from 10am-5pm. We considered getting a sunsetter awning ($4-5k) or doing a DIY shade sail (but wouldn’t have enough mounting points). Ultimately we discovered and settled on this umbrella and we’re so glad we did! Its very sturdy and easy to assemble. The canopy material is high quality and durable and I really appreciate the design of the 4 piece base which makes it really easy to fill and even move around if needed. Color was accurate. The value for the money is just unbeatable. It can get pretty windy here and so far its stood up well to the elements, but you definitely need to be mindful of the wind and close it if its getting too windy. Everyone is impressed with how incredibly easy it is to open and close (takes just a few seconds). Even though our patio is 12x20, this 10x10 umbrella provides sufficient shade and in the afternoon the entire patio is actually shaded! The solar powered lights work nicely in the dark. Not too bright, but certainly enough to see yourself and others in the dark. I highly recommend this product if you need an affordable shade solution!

5/5/2025 Update- We purchased spring of 2023 and was always covered when not in use and stored indoors during the winter. By spring 2024 the lights would not worked and didn't use it a night that much. I reached out to seller spring 2025 and they won't sell or support buying the solar module separately. So buy at your own risk. I would advise that you not buy if the LED portion is what you value. Product color is described as light blue, but when you look at picture it looks teal which is what we were wanting. We wanted two LED umbrellas, one for our table and one for our fire pit. We decided to take a gamble and buy the cheaper of the two which was the table umbrella under$80. Upon that being delivered we were really happy that color looked really teal, so we pulled the trigger on the larger offset umbrella. This umbrella is also described as light blue from the same manufacturer yet upon delivery it matched the smaller table umbrella perfectly and looked more like teal. We are very happy with with quality, lights looked great at night. Comes with cover for when not in use. The base could be filled with water or play sand, but I personally feel the water could possibly leak overtime because the place where you fill it is on the middle side and not the top, so we opted to use play sand which won’t leak out and adds an additional 100lb to water only being 200lbs. The base has 4 parts to it, which during original setup allows you to use the 2 center base parts which will allow you to slide umbrella into position, once you have it in the spot you want add the 2 outer base parts. If you are looking for light blue I think you would be disappointed. If you are looking for teal this is a great color.

If you want a beautiful, well made cantilever umbrella, you've found it. The lights are so pretty; light enough for conversation in the evening but not glaring cold light. The round center light makes the difference. This square umbrella had a learning curve opening and closing as we were used to our round one, which broke. The angles require a bit more space around the deck. But we got it within 3 uses, and we absolutely love it. I put 2 coats of Scotchgard on it bc it's dark grey. The darker color keeps us cooler underneath. But the sun bleached out last one out a bit, so protection was prudent. It's so easily adjusted, spun, tilted to wherever you need it. But to spin it, you have to step on a pedal in the base. This keeps the umbrella from randomly spinning in the wind, which is great. I'd absolutely recommend this product to anyone. We haven't tried the included cover, but it appears sturdy. The whole thing is well made and the water filled base makes it very stable. Two thumbs way up from us! One thing we're not crazy about: the crank to raise and lower it is low on the pole, requiring us to bend over to put it up or down. We were used to the crank being 3'+ from the deck. This is about a foot farther down. We're still getting used to that, but by no means is it a deal breaker. There are so many positive features that bending a bit for the handle is no biggie.

Everything matched the product description. It was easy to assemble, but adding sand to the base is necessary for enough weight to withstand the weather. Perfect for outdoor use.
