Safavieh Outdoor Collection Zimmerman Crank Market Umbrella with Flap, 9', Blue

I love this umbrella. It "feels" bigger than it's description. The color looks so nice out by the pool! It's also very sturdy, despite some pretty strong winds.

I love Safavieh products, design and quality. These umbrellas are no exception. The design is sophisticated giving a "resort" vibe, and the color is beautiful (I ordered blue). I have received many compliments. The only issue, which is why it is a 4 vs 5 star, is that for the cost, a cover or at least a closure should have been included. Time will tell if these fade but I am ordering covers just in case. Definitely glad I bought them!

I ordered a beige one at first and the color wasn't quite right although in other settings it would be great. I love the blue color. I haven't had the umbrella long enough to speak to the durability and possibility of fabric fading but so far I am very happy with the purchase. It is very sturdy. The tilt feature is not easy to access, unlike other umbrellas that include the tilt with the crank handle. But we don't really need that feature. I included pictures to show the amount of shade. They were taken with the sun directly overhead. It is enough shade for our purposes as I didn't want a larger umbrella to deal with and take down in winter.

This umbrella is adorable. It reminds me of umbrellas on vacation in Daytona Beach in the 70's. Not only is it adorable but it replaced my offset cantilever umbrella, which caused my to lose my sanity. I don't live in a windy area, but that cantilever would not stay put. Hooray for this awesome vintage looking umbrella that does exactly what I want it to do.

I bought the light blue with white piping a year ago with a stand on wheels to move around when the babies are in the pool. I live on a golf course and get so many compliments on it from the golfers. When family was coming from Ireland with white fair skin I ordered a second one and they do an amazing job of shading half the pool. Lightweight and the crank to put up and down is easy to use. It's a 10.
