umbrellas & bases

I bought this item when it was [$], and it has been fantastic. I was unsure about this item from reading another review, but I am glad I bought it. I noticed on the box it said this base must be used with a table so I've had no issues with it tipping over. It has survived well with the wind. If you are getting an umbrella, make sure you get this base. see less

Purchased this for a 9 ft umbrella. First day I tried it there was a slight breeze, but not at all what you would call windy. My granddaughter was visiting and we were out on the patio. The breeze made the base rock badly and didn't take much for it to fall completely over on the patio, taking out one of my newly planted bushes, and missing the baby by only a few inches. We had to have someone actually hold the base down for the rest of the the time we were outside. I can't imagine how it would be if it was actually a little windy. I am returning it and looking for a more stable base. see less

I really like this product. It is durable and has lasted through a few rather windy storms. I think it is a good deal for the price. see less

This light beige umbrella is very light and airy, so that you get the benefit of shade without feeling like you are sitting under a "dark cloud". It is durable in the wind, and the crank turner works wonderfully. see less

I liked this umbrella because it had a metal pole instead of wood. Metal is much more sturdy and shouldn't snap. This umbrella has worked great so far, no complaints. see less

The purchase was very satisfying. The umbrella seems to be very durable and is serving the purpose. Great purchase. see less

I am truly thrilled with the great service and turnaround time on my recent order. My umbrella shipped the same day. I was able to track the progress of my shipment on the Target website very easily. The merchandise delivery was actually better than the order schedule. I couldn't be more pleased with Target. Thank you for the free shipping. Linda Kayser see less

I bought this umbrella af ... see more

I bought this umbrella after my old one had just got worn out by the weather. It was a very heavy duty steel umbrella. These are hard to find now days without paying a fortune. I looked and looked and they are all made cheap and plastic. And then I found this one and it is awesome. The fabric is heavty duty, the turn handle is heavy duty. I hope it lasts as long as my old one did. see less

My daughter lives at our neighborhood pool, but it gets so hot and there's not a lot of shade. This is one of the few umbrellas I've found with 'feet'--most of them are the stab-in-the-ground type. People kept asking where I got it and I told them I ordered it from Target online. It's also good for early fall soccer when it's still really hot outside. The cup-holders are a nice bonus. see less

This is my favorite portable umbrella ever! I get more compliments and many friends asking where I got it and how could they get one. I have purchase two of them for family members. Must have item! see less

Our town pool had to rip out all their trees, so we purchased this umbrella at the end of June. It is lightweight, and easy to set up. We are using it to cover 2 of us in sandchairs, and it works. It's easily ten degrees cooler under it. At least 8 people have stopped by to ask us where we bought it. There is now a colony of red umbrellas at the pool. However, we do not leave it up when we are not seated, as the wind can take it and blow it over, since we can not use the ground anchors which did come with it. Definitely a keeper for portable shade. see less

This is a really nice addition to my table and chairs (also from Target!). The umbrella color works well with my patio furniture and color of my home. Definitely recommend this! see less

does not repel water in the least. it literally leaks through the fabric. "teak" pole cracked within weeks. no tie to keep closed. ribs had problems within 2 months. it didn't last the season. if you're hoping for sun or weather protection, you'd better live in southern California, away from the coast. see less

I have owned this umbrella for the past two years and have no complaints quality is excellent. I enjoy the lighting and they have been trouble free. The lighting is so beautiful in the evening and all my friends want to know where they could purchase the same umbrella. see less

The umbrella is neither t ... see more

The umbrella is neither the best nor the worst in terms of build quality that I've seen. I wouldn't call it flimsy. Amber LED lights are built into the spokes with three modes - blinking alternating spokes, simultaneous blinking of all spokes, and steady on. I found the first two annoying, but you have to click through them to get to the steady on mode. Power is fed from a laptop-like power pack, with a 2 foot AC power cord, and 18 foot low voltage power that feeds into a barrel connector on side of the pole. The two piece pole has a self-aligning RCA plug on the centerline that automatically connects electrical during assembly. see less

I received this Lighted umbrella as gift and it exceeded the quality of any other umbrellas at twice the price. What other umbrella has lights,tilt,crank and a thermometer. [...] see less

We use the lights at night a great deal. During a party with music playing it almost seemed as though the lights were keeping beat to the music! Everyone loved it. The material dries quickly if it gets wet and wind doesn't seem to be a problem either. So far so good! see less

Good quality for the price, didn't think we would like the lights but we do. I'm buying another for the 2nd deck we have. see less

We are very pleased with this deck umbrella. It goes well with our bronzed finish patio furniture, and the lights so far are working great. It looks nice, and we haven't experienced any problems with the crank or with the umbrella bending, despite thunderstorms and high winds (though we have made sure to close it when we're not using it). This umbrella was well worth the price. see less

I received this umbrella ... see more

I received this umbrella last week and it is perfect for my 9X11 deck and provides shade for everyone sitting at my table. It seems really well made and durable, but a row of lights does not work. I'm debating whether to send it back since it provides plenty of light without that row- it's more of an annoyance to pay for a brand new umbrella and not have it work right. Aside from that though, it's really nice and would be a great value -if everything worked. Also, it's more of a cobalt color than navy, which actually works better with my decor. see less

I live on the lake where it is very windy and this umbrella hasn't failed us yet. The color and fabric is great, as is the finish on the umbrella pole. The umbrella is surprisingly very lightweight, but has withstanded some heavy wind. The lights are nice, although I will only be using the all-on setting. I found the other 2 settings to be too-techno/strobe light like. It would be nice if there was a "twinkling" setting, as I would use it. The umbrella does not stay gathered unless you tie the piece of umbrella ribbon around it. i wish this was a more permanent part of the umbrella sewn on and with a snap on the other end. Otherwise, I have to tie it around the umbrella stand when the umbrella is open so I don't lose the ribbon. Otherwise, great price/great umbrella. see less

I have had this umbrella ... see more

I have had this umbrella for over a year (maybe closer to two years) and it is awesome! It is durable and the lights work wonderfully. I have never had any problems with the crank or the lights. They also blink, strobe or stay solid which was a cool feature I wasn't aware of when I bought it. Overall great purchase! see less

Ive had this Umbrella for now almost 5 years! And still holding on strong! I'm so happy they still sell it because i'm ready to buy another one. The color is great , my lights have always worked and even lasted through a crazy storm we had with hail. (forgot to put it away). I have no complaints about it at all. It all works for me :) see less

This umbrella was purchased to put out front of our restaurant to be very eye catching and it more than servers that purpose. It is the most wonderful color of burnt orange. Love it. see less

This was a great umbrella, the only downfall is the pole was not standard. Luckily it was for a picnic table that was wood so we were able to make the hole bigger. see less

I like this umbrella but ... see more

I like this umbrella but it was not quite what I was expecting. The color is great and goes well with the outdoor furniture I bought from Target. The umbrella was slightly discolored in certain areas but it was not discolored everywhere and not worth the time to ship it back because it will probably fade due to sun anyway. I believe the fading was because I bought at the end of summer and the item was sitting in the box for so long. The material is also not as thick as the last umbrella I had which lasted almost 8 years, therefore I do not think I will get the same durability as I did with the last umbrella. With this said, It is a nice looking umbrella, I love the pulley system to raise the umbrella-works great, and I figured I got exactly what I should have for the price of the umbrella. I would recommend this umbrella, especially if you think you would want to change the color in a few summers because I am expecting it to not last for many years-but you never know..... see less

We needed an umbrella at the end of last summer, and it was very hard to find one left in stores anywhere. I found this online for a good price and decided to try it. The quality has been so-so. The material is rather cheap and already has some holes and wear. The color is attractive, though. Overall, I'd say it's OK for the price. Better than nothing! see less

THIS IS THE WORST UMBRELLA WE HAVE EVER OWNED. IT IS THE WORST 'PRODUCT' WE EVER OWNED!! IT FELL APART AFTER THE FIRST BREEZE. WE TRIED TO PATCH IT WITH TIE WRAPS, DUCT TAPE, SUPER GLUE, ETC BUT THEN ANOTHER 'RIB' OF THE UMBRELLA WOULD BREAK. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY & OUR TIME!! YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT ONE. I'M SURPRISED THEY STILL SELL IT!! see less

Don't buy this umbrella -- it literally was blown to bits by very inconsequential wind. What a waste of my time and money! see less

This stand looks great and is very sturdy. It does not fall over like other stands or tilt. It includes an extra adjustment part if your umbrella is smaller size. Just keep in mind that it is very heavy. I believe it weighs around 40 lbs. see less

We ordered this base to go with the related patio set, however, we purchased a different umbrella and the base didn't work so it will be returned. Great base and matches the set. see less

I was so sick of the umbrella I had. It was torn and it took away from my deck. I looked online for them and DUH so should have done this sooner. I saw exactly what I wanted [...] S/H come on it was so simple!!!Now I have it and love it. My deck looks so much better that I had to move things around and now I am out to get new deck furniture!!THANKS TARGET!!! see less

Was so pleased with the umbrella and vibrant color, it fits my table perfectly. and it arrived in less time than Target said it would. It is much nicer than the one it replaced, and have already had dinners on the patio under it. Love shopping for great deals like this online. see less

When we received this ite ... see more

When we received this item the pole was so maligned that we were unable to even open the umbrella. We had to use a hammer to get it over the bumps in the pole. Similar to other users, the base part where the "arms" gather was falling apart - before the hammer. The metal wiring wasn't tight enough to keep the bases of the "arms" in place. The top knob was also bent, but that was the least of our worries. Our current plan is to try and return the item and seek out a different model with an aluminum shaft. see less

i received this item in the mail and it was cracked, so i had to return it. target.com was so kind to replace it for me, and the replacement is fine. it is very heavy, but you can rest assured that you will not have umbrellas flying away or falling down with this base. see less

This looks very luxurious and holds up well. The wood shaft makes it look much more expensive. It is more durable than another I paid twice as much for. see less

I have been enjoying the market umbrella from Target for years. This one really looks great but....it wobbles when a slight breeze blows. The pole isnt as sturdy as the ones in the past. I wouldnt buy this again. see less

It's a nice umbrella and the price was right, but take it completely down when a storm is on the way!! We had a fairly severe storm last year and the wind snapped this umbrella in half like a toothpick! I had the umbrella down and secured at the bottom with bungee cords, but it didn't help. see less

This is a very lovely mar ... see more

This is a very lovely market umbrella with a deep gray fabric that is so handsome contrasted with the nice wood pole. However, the product description is wrong. This is NOT a crank umbrella. It is one that you push up by hand. I was disappointed but decided to keep it anyway because it is lightweight enough for a girly lady like myself to push up. It's really gorgeous and would be perfect if it had a crank. Also it does not have a tie-down like other umbrellas. We'll see how long before it blows away in the wind. see less

Even on sale this is very ... see more

Even on sale this is very overpriced for what you get. The height of the umbrella is kind of low, so people over 6' need to stoop to avoid getting poked in the eye when sitting down. The fabric is thin and the metal ribs are connected together by plastic pieces instead of metal. The main pole is skinny and was already rusting on the inside. When got this home and I saw how really junky this item was considering the price, I returned it immediately. see less

Do not buy this! It broke ( the arms no longer held it upright)in less then 3 weeks! First one then another! The plastic that held it in place split. It is no wonder that they have marked it down. Save your money and get a better product! Remember - you get what you pay for! Learn for my fail! see less

I love this umbrella for the price I paid. Excellent quality. Very easy to set up and use. I look forward to many years of enjoyment and protection from the sun. see less

I received these umbrellas as a gift and they exceeded my expectations, the quality was good, arrived quickly. I even called the manufacture and they have replacement covers when I need them a couple of years down the road.This company is very friendly and I will consider TropiShade in the feature. Thanks Target see less

When I received this umbr ... see more

When I received this umbrella, I immediately called customer service because it is not as advertised. The umbrella is very flimsy & I'm sure would break with the slightest amount of wind. Also, in the description it stated that it is covered in varnish & that is not true. Customer service was wonderful & the umbrella has been returned. see less
