This umbrella has a beautiful color to it and seems well built overall. The tilt feature is difficult to use though, as it is very high up and heavy to maneuver as a 5'2" female.
After about 5 uses of this umbrella, the crank broke on it. I didn't read this in other reviews so I'm hoping it was a fluke. We are exchanging it for the same umbrella again in hopes to get many, many more uses out of it. Like I mentioned, it looks great, priced well, and fits well on my 6 seated patio set.

EXCELLENT and AFFORDABLE PATIO UMBRELLA!!!!!!!!!!
I am extremely pleased with the quality of this Patio Umbrella!! I was fortunate enough to catch it ON SALE, but I would certainly not begrudge paying full price, if need be!! This handsome Patio Umbrella came with its own matching storage bag, with a handle for easy carrying. The Umbrella is made of heavy-duty premium UV protected fabric and is very sturdy. I LOVE the striking red tweed color, as it perfectly matches the Shutters on the exterior of our home!! The item comes with a rust-proof aluminum 38mm pole, and powder-coated steel ribs in a bronze finish. We already had a sturdy wrought-iron Umbrella Stand to match our Patio Furniture, so it was extremely easy to set, and screw, the Umbrella Pole securely into this Stand. I am 5'6", and had no trouble "cranking" the Umbrella from the open to closed position, and vice versa, and it was just as easy to find the proper tilt position while in use. I understand that the fabric is treated to resist mold and fading, and washes easily with mild soap and water, and then air drying. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Patio Umbrella to everyone!! It will be an attractive addition to any Deck or Patio setting. I feel assured that, with proper care, we will be able to ENJOY this beautiful Patio Umbrella for years to come.

Met our requirements. and matched the identical unit that we purchased in-store in May.
Our objective was to match the same unit that we had purchased in store in May but that was no longer available. The online purchase was an identical model and color and a perfect addition at the same price.

umbrella will survive the purpose
The umbrella material is quality. The plastic portion and the crank are not of highest quality. First one broke after two weeks and had to return and buy another on home depots website. Metal pole is over average quality. However I would recommend this umbrella for the price and overall options to anyone looking for a descent addition to your patio/deck.

easy to operate
Great, just love the color and ease of the handle to raise and lower the umbrella. My husband has no problem with the tilt but I'm 5' and have a hard time trying to do it.

This umbrella is of very fine quality
I am very pleased with the quality of this umbrella. I have purchased Plantation umbrellas before, and the metal clip at the end of the rib often comes off, and I can't put it back on. This umbrella by Hampton Bay has "pockets" that the ribs go in, and if they become damaged they can be sewen back together.

Hoping it lasts
Frame construction seems fine and color was a perfect match. However, I am concenred about the longevity of the canopy fabric. It seems awfully thin compared to previous umbrellas I have owned. Time will tell, I guess!

Color name is misleading
I ordered this umbrella in Red Tweed, but the color in person is more like "rust" or "brick." Definitely not red! Back to the store it goes! Looked like a quality item otherwise.

This product is just what I was looking for!
The most important feature for me was the fact that the product was available and shipped exactly when it was indicated. I am very pleased with the product and the service provided by Home Depot.
