“Wanted a hardwood parasol as I had my last one for many years and it lasted really well. Ive just put it up, it's just the right size for me to manage on my own and gives enough shade over a smaller table. No effort putting it together and love the colour, the hardwood looks good too. No instructions with it but really you dont need any, it's dead simple to put together. I would have liked some information on any maintenance required for the wood before putting it away for the winter, but I guess I could find that relatively easily with a quick search.”
“I am really pleased with this parasol. It is quite heavy. It is also tall and I can't reach to put the cover over. If I cut a bit off the bottom so that I can it won't work because of the table. Consequently I dismantle it every evening to put inside cover incase of rain. I do love the pully on it...makes it easy to put up. Overall a good product for the price.”
