Assembly was very easy. We have not had to use it yet, so hopefully is as durable as it seems to be.

Excellent.. easy to put up and down, love it!! Would buy again for sure!

I love my umbrella, it is very well made, covers the area I needed shade.

We had purchased the Purple Leaf Umbrella and our cast aluminum pole cap broke. I wrote Purple Leaf Company and Lisa Umbrella was just a ROCK STAR!! She was so helpful and honored their warranty on the part. Lisa made it so easy for me and shipped the piece right away. Lisa also checked back to see how everything turned out. I mentioned another issue and without even asking jumped on our issue by reordering a part for us and once again shipping it out for free. Her customer service exceeded all of my expectations! Kuddos to LISA!

First -- Buy the Purple Leaf base. Even though it's not fully clear about needing/including/installing it, you need a heavy, sturdy base for this umbrella. Second, this was EASY to assemble. The main umbrella is pre-assembled, so all you have to do is connect the bottom part to the heavy base, slide on the umbrella, remove the packing and open up the umbrella. From opening the box, to sitting in it's shade in my pool was about 30 minutes. I would buy again.

Good quality Umbrella, but when Put together noticed two small holes in it which was dissapointing Update: The customer service team at purple leaf read my bad review and reached out about the holes in my umbrella I received. They we very quick to send me a new canvas for it. I’m very pleased now with them and recommend buying any of there products since their backed with awsome customer service

Not quite the color shown in pics. It seems to be very sturdy and was easy to assemble. I wasn’t sure that the tilt would be enough but was pleased to see that it was plenty. One of the settings locks in almost at a vertical level. Rather expensive but I think it will be worth it.

Love this umbrella. Unfortunately, if you don’t scroll to screen 4, you don’t know it doesn’t come with a base, which is a few hundred dollars more. Save some $$ and build your own! The umbrella is sturdy, easy to use. It does NOT tilt.

This umbrella is great. Looks exactly as advertised. It is sturdy looking umbrella. I love it. The color is perfect match with my patio furnitures and serves the purpose. It came well packed and assembly is easy. I highly recommend this product to anyone. It arrived as it stated in my invoice.

My wife and I recently purchased the 11' x 11' Purple Leaf cantilever umbrella (attached) for our back patio. We love it - its easy to use and very attractive. One thing to remember prior to first use, is to make sure all tape and foam packing is removed from the inside/underneath the umbrella to assure umbrella opens properly. The weighted base takes up very little space and the ability to rotate the umbrella is fantastic! We would highly recommend this umbrella for any setting where shade is needed.
