CHRISTOW 2.5m Cantilever Parasol, Large Banana-Style Umbrella for Garden Patio, Square Polyester Overhanging Canopy, UPF30+ UV Protection, Crank Handle, Tilt Function, 360° Rotation

We bought this parasol as many others were out of stock. I'm not a huge fan of buying online when I haven't seen the product, but the parasol colour is an accurately illustrated grey and a good size, enough to shade our 'u' shaped sofa. It is easy to wind up and tilt, or swing around to change the position. The base which was recommended is fairly large, but it does provide adequate anchorage, although I wouldn't leave the parasol up in any more than a light breeze.

Really please to find this parasol, so many are 3m. We purchased to use on the decking of our caravan and 3m was too big. Anyway, really easy to put together once it arrived, (first one got lost in transit), Really pleased with the quality and feels very sturdy, although you definitely need the weighted quadrants. Very easy to put the canopy up and down, and reposition the canopy as the sun moves without the need to move the entire unit. So pleased we went for one that is able to do this as moving the entire unit is not easy. Hopefully we will be able to test it properly this weekend as the sun is supposed to be making an appearance.

V. Good product. Arrived super fast (2 days from purchase). Didn’t have to pay for next day delivery.Does blow a bit in the mild wind but will do the job on a calmer day but over all it’s amazing.I will update 6 months down the line.

Easy to assemble, looks great and appears to be manufactured to a high standard. Great colour and good features, you'll need a heavy base but it can be bolted down if it's just to be kept in one area.

We've been using this for a couple of years now, and it's still in excellent condition. It makes so much difference having the arm at one side, rather than in the middle. It's easy to put up and down, and while we don't have it up when it's really windy, it seems to stand a bit of wind OK. The only real problem is finding covers to fit!

I had to return this as it was too big for my patio but must say excellent parasol well made and sturdy.TII Devon ( supplier ) were excellent in dealing with my return.

Product seems very robust and its tilting mechanism is very simple to use and effective. Would definitely recommend this product and provider. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars was it was delayed for a short period and when it arrived it was slightly damaged but not enough to return it for.

Very good quality parasol. Easy and quick to assemble. Also easy for a small woman to adjust tilt and open/close. It is very smart looking too- we got the beige. Really surprised how smooth operating it is. I would highly recommend this parasol!
