Very poor quality, ends of the ribs have written through the fabric already. Only been up a few times, although ordered in December only used a couple of times. Waste of money Last garden umbrella brought from Robert Dyas lasted 10 years, this one will be lucky to survive 10 weeks of use.

Fantastic parasol! We all love the crank handle and take it in turns to put up or take down the parasol, apart from being fun to use it is extremely practical and gives plenty of shade on our South-West facing deck. I bought the 'Forest Green' parasol because I read somewhere that darker colours give deeper shade, it also blends beautifully in the garden. I like the construction of the parasol, very sturdy but there is also a certain amount of flexibility so it isn't so completely rigid that it blows over in the slightest breeze. I use a very heavy base to keep the parasol upright and tend to move the furniture around the parasol rather than constantly changing the position of the parasol. I also bought a cover which protects the parasol from rain and UV rays when not in use, this was a very sound investment and I believe I will be using the Berry 3m Traditional Parasol for many years to come.

Arrived promptly and well packaged. Good communication also to let me know when the delivery date would be. Parasol is lovely quality and well made, easy to operate and looks fab in our garden.

Gute Qualität, aber Schutz fehlt.
