Summerland Beach Umbrella - Driftwood

I absolutely love this umbrella! It is in a classy neutral color with what seems to be a faux wood laminate on the pole. The fringe is thick and plentiful, which adds a luxurious look. The umbrella comes in two parts (pole base and top) that are easy to put together. The canopy is also generously sized. I have a small patio table for 4 people and it provided more than enough shade. I do bring it back inside for storage once I’m done using it. The carrying bag makes storage so easy, especially because of its ample size. You can effortlessly put the umbrella back in without any pushing and stuffing. The upper portion of the umbrella pole also has an adjustable hinge that allows you to tilt the top as the sun changes position. It is easy to adjust and will come in handy at the beach. The umbrella feels very sturdy, including the plastic spokes. It is heavy enough to be durable, but not so heavy that an adult would have trouble carrying it on their back. A small detail that I really appreciate is that the canopy uses a d-ring closure instead of velcro or button snaps. I find that velcro or buttons tend to deteriorate with use, so I love the durability of the rings. This is truly a beautiful umbrella, whether you use it on your patio or by the water, and the thoughtful design elements make it even more enjoyable to use.

Ok, I'll start off by saying "Where have you been all my life?!"...or at least all my adult life. I frequent the beaches in SoCal and the blazing hot sun and I don't always get along. All I've been looking for is a classy-looking, easy-to-use, high-quality umbrella to accompany my friends and I to our beach day outings. I'm not about those crazy tent contraptions. I don't want an umbrella that's going to flip inside out and/or fly away in a slight breeze. This Beach State umbrella so completely nailed it...as much as a beach umbrella can be nailed, at least. It's super sturdy, super cute, and beyond simple to operate. You can tell that someone who actually goes to the beach put some thought into this. Thank you!
