GlamHaus Garden Parasol Solar LED 2.7M,Tilting Table Umbrella with Crank Handle, Protection UV40, Includes Parasol Cover, Gardens and Patios - Sand, Grey, Cream, Green, Khaki

Updated after receiving replacement: This one works well. Lights work after connecting the connectors and the crank handle now raises the parasol. The fixed tilt is very useful. I have the parasol standing through the centre of a patio table without a base at the moment. I am going to buy a base because when tilted, if even a slight breeze blows, the parasol swings around and, as it is extremely heavy, I would hate for any diners to be walloped by it! In the meantime I have put a wedge between the table & pole to stop it moving. Being a little vertically challenged (ok... short!) I struggle a bit with lifting and locating the top section into the lower pole (& definitely wouldn't be able to pull the handy cover/bag down over it) when in situ.The lights are just for decoration really. They look nice but serve no practical purpose. Why would you have a sun shade up or open in the dark anyway? Pretty though.Original review: Very sturdy heavyweight parasol. Lights worked when plugged in (instructions are included). Liked that there is a switch for the solar lights on the pole.We couldn't test the tilt though because, unfortunately, the crank handle didn't raise the parasol up. We realised that (from zooming in on photos) there should be a chord or rope travelling up the inside of the tube from the crank and exiting the top and fixed to a chord that lifts the parasol. So disappointing. It was meant for this weekend.I am returning this and have reordered, so will update my review once I've checked the replacement works ok.

Finally found a decent parasol. I have spent literally two weeks researching and purchasing parasols I ended up with 3 at one point, one was to small and the material barely kept the light out the stitching on the second one I got was terrible really poorly put together got one with a wooden pole with a pulley rope system the rope was far to long and hanged down for the kids to pull and play with. Finally this one turned up and very happy the handle on the system to open the parasols doesn’t seem that great quality but no problems so far I didn’t buy this for the lights but they are actually quite nice in the evening when eating dinner and for the price I am happy the other ones I bought were more expensive and not as good quality it’s sturdy does not blow around.

Well made and stylish, and the overall quality is as good as expected. However a little disappointed with the LED lights it has been in the sun now for quite a while, and I appreciate we have not had the sunlight we expected to have in August. At present although the lights are working the brightness is not as good as I thought I would get from LEDs Time will tell but overall very pleased.

What a fanatastic product! Bought to replace an umbrella bought for a lot more than this and broke very quickly. Such a study umbrella it faired well in the recent wind and rain. The lights are a lovely touch in the evening. For anyone who is having trouble getting them to work - you need to pop of the solar panel section on the top and there will be 2 wires that need to simply be clicked together. Once you’ve done this the lights will work. Would highly recommend to anyone. Better than the pictures and a beautiful addition to any garden.

Been looking for a new parasol for a while, but so many to choose from for varying prices. Picked this one and I am very pleased with it. Seems good quality and easy for me to put up. Colour is also a great match for my garden furniture cushions. Seems sturdy, lights work after connecting the wire for the solar panel as per instructions. Great purchase, very happy.

Really nice parasol and good quality and looks good on the patio.Customer service excellent as the first parasol was delivered as the wrong colour, but quickly resolved.

Overpriced as the LEDs do not work had the item out all week in the sun and still not working

This was better than we expected for the price. Very strong and sturdy and exactly what we wanted. We did spend a few days waiting for the solar lights to charge, only to realise that the battery pack wasn't connected to the lights. Simple fix just plugging the connector in but it would have been helpful if this was mentioned in the instructions. The lights are lovely and bright, would recommend.
