SONGMICS 1.6 m Parasol, Beach Umbrella, UPF 50+, Sun Protection, Portable Octagonal Polyester Canopy, Fibreglass Ribs, Tilt Mechanism, Carry Bag, for Beach Garden Balcony Pool, Grey GPU060G01

I wanted a new parasol but larger and with a tilt function so I can Work outside and shade my laptop etc so I can see whilst still getting some sun. All the ones with tilt seemed to be crank operation, so then non height adjustable, which is pretty useless in my opinion to have the shade you want all day without having to move the parasol separately from your table etc. This is fully height adjustable.. God I wish they'd made that clearer on most of the adverts! Talk about wasted time searching for that in many cases, especially with all the crank ones. I can stand under it easily at 5.9ft (and more) or lower it right down over my computer. Great/dark grey for good opacity and shade. Great size for 2 people or me and my shadow Ted in my case who comes with me everywhere and supervises all that I do! Would Work for four people around a table too. Everything feels pretty sturdy apart from the tilt mechanism. The metal does feel a bit cheap but then this is £30 not £60/£70++. I'll just be gentle with that and hope! Even if that broke I could just fix it in place, still good as it's height adjustable. Spokes feel fairly strong. Shame you can't tilt to different angles but it works fine with being able to adjust the height too. Like that there's a pin so you're not worried about accidental closing. Ted would **** himself! My old plant pot (soil filled) makes a free base LOL. Vents are pretty tight to the parasol so can't seen them letting much wind through but I won't be sitting out if it's windy anyway. It's been fine with a breeze and a few stronger gusts. I'd give it 4.5 because of the tilt not feeling too sturdy but maybe it's fine! 5* when price is considered and that you're getting adjustable height. One without that just seems useless to me like I say but people have different needs. Very happy with my £30 outdoor/sunny office all in all!

I am very pleased with my new parasol. It's a sturdy build and well made. It's great value for money.

Good service. Item as described. Bought for summer so not use yet. Love the storage bag. I like how the parasol tilts, easy to put together. Good value for price. I have my own base to put it into when I’m ready to use it for the summer and can’t wait for some nice sunny days.
