The worst product I have bought so far. From the first day of use, with the first gust of wind, the umbrella ribs turned inside out, and it is supposedly windproof.
Money wasted.

Generally, the construction and materials are good except for the "handle" that determines its height. It doesn't close completely and there is a risk of breaking when pressed to close fully. It seems that there is some manufacturing issue with the spring inside it.

The umbrella broke after just two years of use (10 days each year). This was supposed to be its third summer, but the wire holding the ribs together at the top has snapped. We have another umbrella of the same type that we’ve had for 7–8 years, and we’ve never had any issues with it. No support from skroutz.gr and the distributor SuperPoint for repair.

In the 1st minute of use it flew off in the wind onto the rocks and immediately the fabric tore in places, which is not as durable as I thought.
Tenacious Repair Tape, transparent, for repair where it opened is the solution!
I will avoid using the recline because I read it breaks easily.
On offer from Sklavenitis €38.40

The product is trash! On the second day of use, with minimal wind, it flipped over, resulting in seams being torn and 2 ribs bending. I tried to set it back up properly, but with the slightest wind it flips over! I should note that I had it tied down in 3 places! Money wasted, stay away!

Good umbrella, seemingly sturdy, but designed to break. The mechanism is based on two relatively thin wires that hold the ribs, which at some point will break from use because they take the pressure during opening and closing.

It is big, but what good is that? It broke after 3 uses... it literally fell to pieces!!
Everything is plastic and fake, a total waste of money, really

5 out of 5 stars. It withstood 5-7 Beaufort in the Cyclades, on days when a sailing ban was issued for ships. Together with a shock pole and fastening at 5 points, the umbrella did not move a millimeter. ATTENTION, on windy days, if it is not tied properly, there is a risk that it will fold and be ruined

With the first somewhat strong wind, it broke, even though it was tied with ropes to stakes at 4 points.
I don't think it's worth being left without an umbrella from the second day of vacation.

Very high quality and effective; I was a little disappointed that in a light breeze the arms turned upward, though it may have been my fault too. Otherwise, everything was fine.

Positive: Very large, the trunk seems durable

Negative: The fabric has gotten full of tiny holes everywhere in just 9 days from the moment I received it (4 days of use), which makes me very skeptical about how long it will last over time, considering its price

50€ umbrella and on the 3rd day of use the wire that holds all the ribs together broke.

This is the second one that has broken at this point. Although the quality of the fabric is very good, the company needs to do something about the pole. And I even had stakes in the sand. It is completely unacceptable to pay €50 and for it to be so fragile at this point. I will do the fix that the guy suggested with the clamp and we’ll see

It is the 2nd umbrella from the same company that breaks at the same point.
The first one lasted 6 summers on an island in the Cyclades with a lot of wind. After 6 summers I assumed that the reclining point had corroded and that is why, in a gust of wind, it broke. Otherwise, the umbrella ribs and the fabric are fine.
I bought this specific umbrella from the photo again a few days ago. Today, while I placed it properly on the beach with the impact pole and having it tied with rope on 2 sides, in a small gust of wind it broke again at the reclining point.
I regret the 52€ I paid.

Very good choice and the shade it provides. It seems durable. So far it has been tested in quite a bit of wind and everything is fine.

I have 2 umbrellas, one for about 4 years and the other for 2
They confuse the umbrella a lot and think it is a pergola or all metal, I don't know..
Or they simply don't know even the basic things.. And when it breaks, they blame the umbrella..

It is an aluminum umbrella, relatively light.. Quite large in size when opened.. Now if there is a lot of wind, none will hold.. But it has a base to pass ropes through at 5 points.. In general it is a thick tube.. Very high quality.. And the fabric has not suffered anything all this time.. In general it lacks nothing.. If you also put an extra base underneath, you don't need anything else.. Much superior to many others..

As soon as there was a little wind, it broke at the part that does the tilt. I did not expect this at all since this is not the first beach umbrella from this company that I have used. It's a shame for so much money you pay for it to break on the first use.

With mild use, it developed a problem with the retracting mechanism (on the second time). I am forced to use it with a workaround without the retraction.

Waste of money, I bought it last year and this year, on the first opening, the wire that holds the braces broke (I repaired it with a stainless steel wire), and the second time I opened it, the pole broke (I put a second tube inside and joined it with small 4mm rivets so they wouldn't interfere with opening and closing). Pure hassle.

It is indeed decent, it does not rust, but the fabric is as other users show in photos, thin and fragile. It lasted us two years with heavy use. In the meantime, it suffered what happened to others as well, the wire that holds the ribs in the center broke (we always set it up with a hammer and ropes). I got wire of the same thickness and replaced it, and it extended its life further. We did not buy it again this year, though. We got the Hupa Riviera Blackout and it is a big upgrade. We have kept it as a second umbrella for emergencies

It fell apart after just one year as soon as I opened it. Look at the little wire that was holding the arms. What a waste of money

It is the best investment someone can make for summer vacations. I have had it for 3 consecutive summers on an island in the Dodecanese that has quite a lot of wind, and it has really remained intact. The ideal thing is to secure it with the hammering equipment so it goes well into the ground, as well as to also put rope through the special holes when the wind gets stronger. Also, we hang a bag on the pole when it is windy for extra weight. The shade it provides in extreme heat and blazing sun is truly incredible. You are completely covered for two people with chairs. People around you may be melting from the heat, and you underneath are really cool.

The Beach Umbrella offers great coverage, sturdy construction, and reliable UV protection so you can enjoy the sea with comfort and safety.

The vent enhances airflow and reduces wind pressure.
The blue color is impressive and fits perfectly in a summer setting.

Combine it with the impact pole (Golden Fleece Impact Metal Pole 32mm) to have the perfect combination!!

Family umbrella with sturdy construction
Of course, it's good to tie it with ropes
After that, it doesn't get affected by the wind

Very good for two people, regarding the size.
I have used it for two summers without any issues at all.
Careful and quality construction.

Very good and large umbrella... and quite a quality construction...
Tested with quite a bit of wind and it held up.... up to 6 Beaufort it has no problem.... above that, due to its size, it's a bit of a risk......

Nice umbrella, large in size. Although I would like it to also fit in the trunk. It definitely needs a screw base because it flies easily with the wind.
