GlamHaus Garden Parasol Solar LED 2.7M,Tilting Table Umbrella with Crank Handle, Protection UV40, Includes Parasol Cover, Gardens and Patios - Sand, Grey, Cream, Green, Khaki

Updated after receiving replacement: This one works well. Lights work after connecting the connectors and the crank handle now raises the parasol. The fixed tilt is very useful. I have the parasol standing through the centre of a patio table without a base at the moment. I am going to buy a base because when tilted, if even a slight breeze blows, the parasol swings around and, as it is extremely heavy, I would hate for any diners to be walloped by it! In the meantime I have put a wedge between the table & pole to stop it moving. Being a little vertically challenged (ok... short!) I struggle a bit with lifting and locating the top section into the lower pole (& definitely wouldn't be able to pull the handy cover/bag down over it) when in situ. The lights are just for decoration really. They look nice but serve no practical purpose. Why would you have a sun shade up or open in the dark anyway? Pretty though. Original review: Very sturdy heavyweight parasol. Lights worked when plugged in (instructions are included). Liked that there is a switch for the solar lights on the pole. We couldn't test the tilt though because, unfortunately, the crank handle didn't raise the parasol up. We realised that (from zooming in on photos) there should be a chord or rope travelling up the inside of the tube from the crank and exiting the top and fixed to a chord that lifts the parasol. So disappointing. It was meant for this weekend. I am returning this and have reordered, so will update my review once I've checked the replacement works ok.

Quality is good nice colour,easy to assemble strong but cover is not right how can u put cover without zip have to stand on ladder not good for older people

Well made and stylish, and the overall quality is as good as expected. However a little disappointed with the LED lights it has been in the sun now for quite a while, and I appreciate we have not had the sunlight we expected to have in August. At present although the lights are working the brightness is not as good as I thought I would get from LEDs Time will tell but overall very pleased.

Really pleased with the umbrella and led lights

Large, strong, with nice soft lights, this is an ideal garden parasfol for the English summer. Quite easy to open/put up and close and seems to hold well in the wind, even if a bit breezy.

Great parasol at a bargain price. For those worrying about the solar lights, we took the advice of previous reviews and found that the panel comes with a film on it and with the internal plug disconnected. Once you take the film off and connect the plug it works just fine, so please don't be put off if yours doesn't turn on straight out of the box. It feels high quality, the crank is useful and makes it look more expensive that it is, and the material and lights are stylish and attractive. You will need a weight/stand for the parasol so do remember to factor that into your budget, however it is a standard pole so should fit fine with most weights. Overall we would certainly recommend, as it's great value for money.

I bought this item in July and the lights were not working and hadn't since I put it up. I tried everything to get them going including connecting the clip to the wires behind the solar panel, charging the existing batteries, and putting new batteries in - with no luck. I missed the deadline to return the parasol but contacted the seller anyway as it was faulty, and am pleased to say that I received a first class customer service! They dealt with the matter immediately and my new parasol arrived today and the lights work perfectly. The parasol itself looks fantastic and is lovely and sturdy. I am a very happy customer!

It's really heavy to lift. Then I got the stand that suppose to go with the parasol. But it's not fitting right. It just does not go in to this stand fully. So can't get it to stand up right. Now the wind has blown it all down. Can't lift it up at all. It's just laying on floor just getting soacked deteriorating.

Ich war immer schon auf der Suche nach einem neuen stabilen Schirm Ja, ich habe ihn gefunden Stabil, auch bei einer lauteren Prise Wind Starker Regen ist nicht seine Stärke LED Beleuchtung ein netter Gag, zum Buch lesen eindeutig zu wenig Bei uns steht er in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Whirlpool; leuchtet die Getränke usw. fein aus und bietet ein tolles Ambiente Über die Standfestigkeit werde ich später berichten
