Great quality for the price! Easy to place and move to block setting sun.
Love the color green. In the summer the sun is intense at at certain angle in my dining room.I place the umbrella at an angle to block, and later move it easily. Cheap, easier than than the shades, and I can use it anywhere. Sturdy enough I can store it outside leaning up against the house by my tall bushs.Its not too heavy for this senior lady.

2 Years and 2 Months, Up Year ‘Round, Sun, Rain or Snow, Still Going Strong…
I bought this umbrella two years and two months and 9 days ago, and it’s still holding up well. If I wanted to take better care of it, I would put it away in the winter time, but I like the snow protection, because I like to use my deck and BBQ all year around. Of course, there is a natural bit of fading, our summers get over 100°, winters can drop below zero, snow can get very deep, over a foot sometimes (in those cases, I lower it and knock the snow off).From underneath, there are a few little wrinkly-looking spots, (not actually wrinkly, though), maybe an inch or two long, 1/8 or less wide, in just a few areas here and there that may be wearing thinner. That comes from my use of it. The way I treat it, I might expect to want to buy one next year or the year after that. If I put it away in the winter time, or covered it when not in use, I would easily at least double the life of it.When there are going to be high winds, and I’m aware of it, then I lower it down, but it has held up at least in 20 mile an hour winds. Of course, it’s smart to lower it, even cover it if you’re not going to use it, but sometimes I leave things on the table under the umbrella, because I know it will protect them. So I very rarely lower it down. If it has a heavy snow load, I will lower it to knock it off. Anything over 3 inches of snow, I will probably knock it off.Because it is kept affordable, I recommend it. I did buy a second one to use for a different area in my yard that will get less usage, so it will be lowered more often. But I also think of sun fade, and if I want it to fade evenly, then it’s better to leave it up…or lower and cover it. Where to lower it at not cover it, I would expect it to develop stripes over time from uneven sun fade, as is obvious, but something people overlook and then complain about (totally their fault). There’s a novel idea, lowering and covering it, but not something I do, so up it stays 99% of the time. Lowering it down and covering it would, of course, extend the life of it even further.All the mechanisms are properly made, the pole is sturdy and tilts; it’s not some rinky-dink, cheap pole or mechanism. You can rely on it. And I love the 2 colors I bought (they are out of sight of each other, though they would be complementary).You will need an umbrella stand…I had a neighbor that didn’t seem to understand this concept, and twice I pulled her umbrella out of the street after a little wind, because she would leave it up and did not have a stand. That basically makes it a wind sail. A good one is worth the price. Buy a good one. It’s no place to skimp.And it’s how will you attach it to that stand that matters. If I didn’t have the type of stand I have, (a good, vintage steel plate with the post to receive the umbrella post, and bolts with wing nuts to secure it) I would have the heavy stand, but I would drill into the stand (apparently not all stands actually have a hole for this, and put a screw or bolt in on 2 sides, and it won’t be able to fly up and out of it. I’ve seen people put their umbrella in the stand, but not actually secure the two together by bolting through the receiving post and the umbrella post, and tightening it down so the bolt can’t fall out, and then they wonder why their umbrella flew away. The stand can’t hold your umbrella down unless you lock the two together. Hence the bolts or screws. I know, it should go without saying, but then again…we all see the complainers who don’t get it.And theoretically, one could use anything that is wider than the hole in the table (if that’s your application) where you put the post that can be securely locked onto the bottom of the post is enough to keep it from flying away, even if it were lightweight, as long as it didn’t come off, and wouldn’t fly up and potentially be hard enough with a high force wind to break a glass tabletop.A fairly flat (1/4”-1/2”) circular solid steel umbrella base with the flange is best. It’s heavy, and one can tip the umbrella stand and roll it on the edge to relocate it, and there’s no clunky, bulky base full of sand or water to interfere with where your feet go when you stretch your legs. Plus, those bulky plastic ones seem to crack and break on people.As long as these stay affordable, I’ll keep recommending them, and would definitely buy them as a gift, or to have more of them in my large yard. I like having different spots to hang out.

A good value
The umbrella is well crafted and looks very durable. A nice sunshade on my back deck.It should last me years.

well made for the price
first one delivered with the protective top cap cracked. They quickly replaced with a new one. Checked it out and everything worked perfectly. 9 feet easily covers sun for 2 lounge chairs or 3to 4 people sitting.

Sturdy and solid
You can't go wrong with the black umbrella. It doesn't show stand looks chic!

My last one last for 3 years...I ordered another after the last one tumbled in the wind.
After my recent purchase of the Blissun 9' Outdoor Market Patio Umbrella with Push Button Tilt and Crank, I can confidently say that this has been one of the best investments for my outdoor space. As an avid nature enthusiast, I spend most of my free time outdoors, whether it's lounging in my backyard or going on adventures. Working all day on my computer on the deck under the umbrella has been a game changer for my productivity and overall well-being.When I first bought this umbrella, I was a bit hesitant about its durability because of the affordable price. However, to my surprise, the Blissun 9' Outdoor Market Patio Umbrella has stood the test of time and lasted me for 3 years now. And believe me, it has been through some tough weather conditions - from scorching hot summer days to heavy rain and wind .One of the features that I appreciate the most about this umbrella is the push button tilt and crank mechanism. It allows me to easily adjust the angle of the umbrella to block out the sun no matter where it's positioned in the sky. The crank also makes it effortless to open and close the umbrella, making it a breeze to use.Overall, I highly recommend the Blissun 9' Outdoor Market Patio Umbrella with Push Button Tilt and Crank for anyone

Haven't really used as it has been windy and cold but looking forward to using this summer.
It is colorful and sitting in the center of our table ready for use. I like the tie to hold it down. It seems like a very good purchase for the price.

Patio umbrella
Loved the colour and tilt function. Height was too high for me so had to cut down the support pole. Not hard to do.
