LAUSAINT HOME Outdoor Patio Umbrella with Base included 11 FT Deluxe Curvy Cantilever Umbrella Heavy Duty Offset Hanging

I purchased this umbrella for my East-facing patio in Arizona and it seems to be a very good quality product. In retrospect, I may have been more satisfied with the smaller (11') size. As our climate continues to change, we are seeing more frequent and stronger winds around my home; I worry about my umbrella blowing around too much and therefore open it infrequently. I'm very pleased with the design and especially like the extra, sturdier rib that ties back to the post. It is very easy to operate, rotating within the base and sliding the umbrella up and down the elegant, curved post. The mechanism for opening the umbrella works quite easily as well and the quality of the band and fastener that hold it closed is excellent. I would caution other buyers to carefully measure your space to determine optimal placement. I thought I'd paid sufficient attention to the diagrams in the online listing and my umbrella opens fine and is usable in some positions as it rotates within the base and the tilt adjusts by sliding up and down the post. However, I placed it too close to the house and therefore cannot enjoy the full range of positioning as it bumps into the house. I'd highly recommend that if you can have a couple of big, strong folks hold the umbrella in a few positions to help determine the best placement, that would be a good choice. I am a 70-year-old woman overcoming a knee injury a few months back working alone to install my umbrella. On the other hand, it can be assembled and installed by a 70-year-old woman working alone! Fortunately, I'd followed the suggestion I saw in another review and left some of my sand in the bags while adding to my base, in case the base needed to be moved later. The design of the bags that hold the sand is extremely good. They fit just perfectly and are sturdy material like heavy-duty tarps. There are two bags, but each is divided into two compartments. I just loaded a full bag of sand into each of the four compartments and then filled in around that with loose sand. The Velcro-held openings are sufficiently large for easy loading and the quality/strength of the Velcro is fantastic. I would definitely recommend this umbrella, however consider the amount of wind in your area and pay special attention to placement so that it can move freely and you can take advantage of all the flexibility in where your shade lands.

Complete assembly time for one person = 3 hours (30 minutes unbox, 30 minutes layout tools, parts, prep 220lbs of sand, 30 minutes assemble base, 30 minutes to fill sand bags with 220 lbs of sand, 30 minutes to assemble umbrella to stand, 30 minutes learning how to operate and moving around location) Very attractive on the deck. Very high quality materials and construction. Detailed assembly guide with well labeled parts. Allow about 3 hours from start to finish. I cannot stress enough about the 220 lbs of sand!!!! That was over whelming to me to carry 50 lb bags and lift and pour into the base bags. Make sure you know this. My product didn’t have a water option, only sand. It’s very easy to operate. Mechanics glide along. Beware the 7ft max height to reach up there to set or lower the umbrella. My husband is 6’ 5” so he is good but I am only 5’9” and I struggle working the devices at that height. It’s 11ft umbrella and we have a lot of wind so, I am THANKFUL of that 220 lbs of sand securing it. Our deck is long with lounge area on one end and table in the other. This is a PERFECT solution to limit sun early morning and mid day. I easily pivot back and forth. But it provides no relief with sunset because it doesn’t tilt side to side. So know your sun exposure direction and this limitation. Great price for the quality. Very satisfied!! Read more

Great umbrella for the pool or beach. It’s very well-made, durable, and holds up well in the wind. The canopy provides plenty of shade, and the price is very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend! ☀️ Read more

Umbrella appears to be good quality and assembly was not hard, but time consuming. Unfortunately, after one use, it would not go down. And unable to use. Return was approved by company, but cost prohibitive to return. Attempts to speak to customer service were unsuccessful. As advised on the return slip-calls were not returned. Unable to use and unable to return-in box in garage. Rather frustrated with purchase. Update-due to the time difference, it was a bit difficult to reach the company. We were able to reach the company’s customer service and they were very nice to work with. They did replace the faulty umbrella with a new one. They did. It require the return of the original one due to the expense of returning the large and heavy package. The umbrella is large and provides wonderful shade. It is easy to reposition for best shade. Very happy with purchase and customer services response. Read more

I purchased a new outdoor table and chair set and then went on the hunt for an umbrella. Sometimes buying things online can be tricky especially when they are large items. After some measuring and crossing my fingers, I ordered the LAUSAINT HOME Outdoor Patio Umbrellas with Base, Upgraded 11FT Curvy Offset Cantilever model. For such a large piece it turned out to be relatively easy to put together, and I am thrilled with the product. The shade it provides is exceptional and the umbrella is perfect for my needs. The mechanism to raise and lower the umbrella glides smoothly and is well made. I contacted Lausaint Home's customer service directly and corresponded with Niki about a matter and the response I received was extraordinary! Niki in their customer service was attentive and provided a great solution. Highly recommend this umbrella! Read more
