Umbrella with ***Lights***!!
Ok, one word , AWESOME!!. I live in Chicago, and it IS windy! The Windy City term is not from our weather but started many years ago due to city's long winded politicians, or maybe both. I can tell you that this umbrella has stood on my open-ended patio and has endured many rains storms and several snowy winters, and lots of wind. I NEVER LET IT DOWN! It serves as some privacy from the above neighbors & falling debris, in our 4 floor condo. While it is not entirely out in the open, I am still amazed at how this umbrella has endured (3 years now, in open position). I marvel at this! It is cute, lightweight, but looks great even on my small patio. I ALSO have a rectangular table and 4 chairs (can take up to 6 chairs), a cute rug with medallion shapes, lanterns, fun tableware, ALL from Target, and it is just lovely! Now I need chair cushions, plants, string lights, a bar set, and a few more things. I am on a budget, and it has taken me 3 years to pull together, and yet everything I ALREADY have STILL looks good. I plan to one day 'soon??' have an Hawaiian Luau theme party, thru the house and out to the patio. I even bought the luau 'message in a bottle' invitations, and leis'. Maybe a grass skirt? lol. Can't wait!! Thanks TARGET!! Hope this helps someone decide. Yes, there are better quality UMBRELLAS, but on a budget this works, and I am very particular!!
