AreShark 6.5' x 10' Rectangular Patio Umbrella with Solar Lights, Solar Powered Lighted Market Umbrella w/Tilt and Crank, Outdoor Table Umbrella for Garden, Deck, Backyard, Pool, Apple Green

Seems to be a well made umbrella so far. I've had it for about 1 month and have no real complaints, but I do have a couple "druthers". First, I really like the solar lights. I no longer have to bring out a separate light to hang under the umbrella. The brightness is just about perfect, not too bright and not too dim. Some reviewers say you could not play cards under the lights, but I think you could. The switch for the lights is on the outside end of one of the umbrella rods. Perfect for a tall person like me, but height challenged folks can lower the umbrella to switch the lights. I believe the rechargeable batteries can be replaced, but I have not confirmed it. The underside of the solar unit has three screws that should allow access, but I have not opened it up. It would be nice if the manufacturer would confirm replace-ability of the batteries...I think that would be a great selling point. The crank works smoothly. The tilt is easy to work, but of course it's at the top-inside of the main pole. Shorter folks might do better with an umbrella with an auto-tilt feature. The umbrella's tie strap uses Velcro, which is much easier to work than a tie string that requires a knot. The main pole is in two sections, making it a snap to remove the umbrella for winter or bad weather. My druthers are: Even though the light output is just right, I druther have three brightness settings....one setting dimmer, and one setting brighter just for the options when needed (brighter would be good for cleanup at the end of a night). Regarding the hand crank, I druther it be a few inches lower. As it is, the crank is up inside the folded umbrella, making it hard to get to the crank to open the umbrella (my previous umbrella had a crank that was lower and more reachable when closed). Overall I'm pleased with the umbrella and the value.

Works great!!! Easy assembly. Very sturdy. Great shade. Nice and big for a 6person table. Very stable.

Beautiful, true to color. Sturdy and great piece.

Umbrella nice. Goes up easy. Lights do t seem to work

This deck umbrella is a replacement for one I had for 10+ years. The AreShark umbrella seems to be of better quality than my last one. It went together easily and the LED lighting is ideal for those late evening meals or card/board games. When you remove the umbrella from the box, don't forget to also remove the solar panel. I removed the orange fabric from the spines and painted the Tennessee Volunteers white "T" logo on it.

I was so disappointed after opening and setting up the umbrella. The umbrella looked nice, however, the solar light function did not work. That was the main reason for purchasing this item. After set up, I realized it was too late for a return… very disappointing

So far, so good. I received the umbrella last week, and setup was straightforward, including installing the solar light component. Pros: The canopy fabric feels higher quality than my previous umbrella. The crank is smooth and easy to use (although it’s been a bit too windy to fully extend it yet). I love the yellow color—it really pops and looks beautiful against the green of the yard and trees. Cons: The packaging didn’t include clear setup instructions beyond the solar panel installation. There was also no mention of needing to turn on the lights. Without that guidance, I initially thought the solar unit was defective until I revisited the Amazon product images and reviews and realized there’s a switch to turn the lights on and off. Overall, I’m happy with it so far—just wish the instructions were more complete.

I do love this umbrella ! The lights are fantastic give off decent light, east to use and assemble

Beautiful, vibrant color! Good quality for the price. Very easy to assemble. The mini lights look fantastic!
