Sunnydaze 9ft Solar LED Sunbrella Patio Umbrella with Tilting Mechanism - Waterproof Outdoor Market Umbrella for Poolside, Deck, Garden, Porch & Backyard - Beige Sunshade with Built-in Solar Lights | Perfect for Outdoor Dining, Lounging & Summer Entertaining

Nice item. Sunbrella is a fine fabric, well-made, nice appearance. Love the aluminum poles and struts - no rusting to worry about. Lights all worked first try, but I haven't tried them in the dark yet, so can't say how well they'll light the table.But the instructions said to replace the batteries after a year. I opened up the battery compartment just to see there'd be no surprises a year from now, that I had a suitable rechargeable AA on hand, and the compartment was empty. I went back to the listing and sure enough, they made no claim that batteries were included, but you'd think on a $250 solar umbrella they would include SOMETHING to get you up and running, even if it was a cheap set. Luckily I had three NiMh AA's around, so was able to install them and get assembled. But Jeez, guys, if you're not going to include them, at least warn customers they'll need to buy a set before they get the battery box 10 feet up in the air and wait for days wondering why they're not charging.I really like that the fabric has not faded over the summer! The only thing that's a little annoying is the difficultly engaging the tilt button. Like the solar lights at night - nice effect. LOVE the velcro closure on the umbrella tie!I received this umbrella in the second half of August and have just now put it away for the winter. We live near the ocean where it can be very windy and the umbrella has held up well. The solar lights work just fine and the Sunbrella fabric has not faded and is very easy to spot clean. We love all of the different choices of lights you have. My only concern is that the lights do make the umbrella top heavy and when there is any wind, there is a lot of flex just above the joint where the top of the pole screws on to the bottom of the pole. We try to always put the umbrella down when that happens and have had no problems. All in all I think it is a great umbrella - especially considering how much more expensive so many other umbrellas are.All of itThis is the third one of these I purchased this summer. Sunbrella's color is bold and looks great. Not waterproof but repels water for a while. Material should keep a nice color for a few summers. Same material as on my boat's Bimini top, no problems there after three seasonscouple of the solar light strips went out too soon.I have the Umbrella for a few days now. You can see the difference right out of the box. The Sunbrella material and the LED light bars are what make the difference. No more watching lights go out every season. Best of all the Sunbrella material will lastit was all good. The instructions did not explain the light buttons on the shaft.
