  Brilliant rotating AND tilting parasol!
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2019
  **Update: 2 years on and this parasol is still in perfect working order. It's been left out, uncovered year round.**In summary, this is a great looking, well constructed garden parasol at a fraction of the cost of other comparable models. A delight to use & super flexible re. shade coverage.I'm chuffed to bits with this. I specifically wanted a parasol that can rotate and tilt & initially thought I'd have to spend a fortune (at least 2.5 times this price). Then I came across this bargain one. I was not convinced but thought it worth getting it to see and I am delighted I did. The description isn't very clear on the tilt but I can confirm that the extra handle under the canopy in front of the crank handle does enable the parasol too tilt about 45o either side. The vertical tilt is also excellent so this is perfect for providing shade all around without moving the base.We have to navigate our tree canopy when rotating between sofa & table so the flexibility was a must & it has not disappointed.I was apprehensive about the quality after reading recent reviews of missing parts in the box & poor assembly instructions but I had no issues. When it arrived (a day early!) the box looked like it had been opened and resealed so I took photos in case there was an issue but all was fine inside. The instructions were very basic but it has a parts list & 3 diagrams which are easy to follow. One small error on the parts list - it lists 6 of the M10x20 bolts but only 4 are supplied and only 4 needed (plus a 5th which is already screwed into the pole). Otherwise the instructions are fine and no tools are needed for assembly other than the included allen key.[Updated] I was initially concerned that the crank handle would come out during use but this has never happened.

  Much better than the cheaper alternatives
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2018
  I purchased the weights separately as they are not included but I was expecting that. The parasol is very large and with the weights very stable, it cannot be used without them. It is very quick and easy to assemble and operate. It is great to be able to move the parasol horizontally using a little peddle to realise it. You can also twist it and set it to different angles so you can move it with the sun easily. It is susceptible to the wind but I think they all are unless you are to spend a great deal more. I would have preferred a different colour but it is very inoffensive and blends in well.

  Value for money
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2021
  I have sadly bought a few side post parasols in my time.My previous parasol was a Bramblecrest Chichester 3m side post parasol bought in 2014 for £296.99. This was broken by the wind when it was accidentally left up. To get the same today, June 2016, I'd need to pay £500. No way I was going to do that, so I searched online and I found this one. For under £200 I am delighted with it. It is not as sturdy as the Bramble crest one I previously owned. The size of some the aluminium box sections are smaller. However the mechanism is almost identical and I think it will be sturdy enough. The big price saving more than compensates for slightly smaller diameter aluminium. Also the Bramblecrest failed on the plastic hinge, not the aluminium. If this one breaks it will be the same place, i.e. the plastic connectors which are very similar. The main message to anyone is that these things do not like the wind in the UK. None are going to be robust enough for windy days. Only put it up on calm days and you'll be fine with this one.

  Great parasol for the (rare) hot summer days. Base needs careful selection.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2021
  I bought this parasol with a Costway 4 piece base and a Dukon Parasol Cover.Construction was fairly straight forward. The base bolts together easily and securely. The only problem I had was that the Costway base is slightly too big for the stand. It needed an extra two washers to raise the circular bit (with the pedal) so that all the pieces of the base could be connected together (see pictures). End result is still secure, so not a major problem, but could be annoying if you didn't have extra washers.Be aware that the parasol is very tall when constructed. There is no way I could get the cover on without using a stick. Fortunately the Dukon covers comes with a telescopic pole and so it is no bother.Finished parasol is brilliant. We live on top of a hill and it gets windy, which may cause a problem on days which are both sunny and windy, but we will see how it goes. The parasol seems robust so I am not overly concerned. Will report back after a year.Would have been nice if the parasol came with a base, or recommmded which bases to use so there was a proper fit.

  Very Disappointed. Parasol appeared used, bits missing, wrong parts included etc!!

  Outsunny 3M Patio Parasol Roma 360 Rotating. Arrived today. Instructions said all bolts were10mm, but only 8mm bolts were supplied. In fact most holes required an 8mm bolt - EXCEPT FOR THE SILVER ROTATING MECHANISM! In this case 10mm bolts are required to fix the main vertical support to the rotating base. Fortunately we had some 10mm bolts in stock but were then required to drill out the footplate of the vertical support of the parasol as this had 8mm holes!In addition the plastic cover for the baseplate was the wrong profile to fit the vertical support so this cannot be fitted.The handle is badly scratched and looks as if it has been treated badly. Supplied by Amazon!When parasol is closed and arm is in down position the handle does not click into its locating hole so parasol is not secure unless tied up or covered up! It is not possible to discover this until after the parasol is assembled! Our package also contained a couple of bits that are nothing to do with this particular parasol. Very disappointed!

  A quality item
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2021
  Had a little problem with a late delivery which was eventually sorted. I will add the supply company very helpful and kept in touch more than the delivery company.I read reviews re paying a bit extra for a quality item and I’m glad I did. This parasol is quality and well worth the extra. It was easy to assemble but possibly needs a little help because of the weight. Does need the stabilising weights to hold it in place. I would recommend this purchase to anyone.

  Not how I expected it to be
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2020
  I like the design for this umbrella is very stylish, the colour is nice, the pole is made of solid aluminium, which makes it easy to rotate 360 *. Solid 8 rib design supports for polyester cloth canopy. But what I don"t like about this umbrella is that the polyester cloth is very thin and the opening system for the umbrella. You can see in the picture that the umbrella is weak I have to help it open by hand to keep the umbrella open and to fit in the place, to stay open (This why I give 3 stars ).

  Great very sturdy parasol
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 August 2020
  Really happy with this parasol. We had a similar sized one from another seller previously which was not very robust and eventually blew over and broke. This one, however, is very sturdy and well made. Nice colour too. Really happy - thank you!

  Well worth the extra money

  Quality piece to kit. Strong and durable, even in strong breezes. Beige colour looks good, - bit wary that it would be too light, but it works well.
