LAUSAINT HOME Outdoor Patio Umbrella with Base included, 11 FT Deluxe Curvy Cantilever Umbrella Heavy Duty Offset Hanging Umbrella with 360° Rotation for Market, Pool, Garden, Backyard, Deck (Beige)

Very good umbrella. We purchased the 12' Sunbrella version. To be fair, we just put this together, so we reserve judgment for when it's used a bit more. But, in any case, the first thing that stands out when you get this is that it came on time as promised and was delivered properly by FedEx. A bit heavier than we thought at around 88lbs, but easy to move.When you open up the box, the first thing that you notice is how well it is packed, and a diagram of the contents with item ID numbers/letters is printed on the underside of the top opening of the box. The instructions tell you to remove the contents in a particular order.The instructions are relatively clear, but like most drawn directions, you have to be careful to build in the correct orientation. More about that shortly. The instructions come with all the screws, bolts, washers, and tools you need to put the umbrella together. They are in a blister pack, with the item codes printed on the back with slats to open it and remove what you need. There are NOT a lot of parts. But, it is a bit difficult to open each slotted back, and because it is blistered onto the nuts/bolts, a bit difficult to remove from the packaging, but with some patience and pulling/stripping, it comes out.The instructions are well presented, and if you want a video of how to install it, I believe there is a video on YouTube. I didn't use that, I just used the parts and diagrams.The next thing you realize is that the key components, like the rotator, base, step release, cantilever pole, and umbrella housing is VERY well constructed. Solid and heavy, coated-aluminum. It comes across as being able to hold its own in any condition. There are plastic parts, but they aren't structural. Putting the unit together is not difficult, and as others have said, the only part that may need 2 people is when you are putting the umbrella housing into the base. It can be done by one person, but it becomes a bit clumsy with the size of the umbrella. The main umbrella housing comes complete setup-wise, except you need to put in 2 pieces that are already semi-attached. We got Sunbrella fabric, and it comes already attached to the umbrella rods and it looks and feels great.When you are putting in the screws and holders you need to be careful about the orientation of the parts, as the diagram only gives a limited view/words about where they go. For example, when you are putting in the sidewalls of the base, you must put them in the correct positions relative to the step release, or the tops will not install. Difficult to see that in the diagrams. Also, when you put in the umbrella rod/housing to the base, you may have the umbrella upside down because it seems to be going that way with the curvature of the base holder, but it's not. It goes in the opposite direction, and we had to remove it, turn the umbrella, and put it back in.It does take some adjusting to get the metal guides into the base, but overall the quality of the machining to accept the screws wherever noted was excellent. No stripped screws, no poorly drilled holes in the pole base. Easy to assemble.About the only thing that is annoying and messy is adding the sand. Get 250 lbs of kid's play sand and fill it up in the four supplied container holders. Scooping vs pouring will make it easier and more manageable, especially as you must pack it evenly across the whole holder on all sides to fit in approximately 55-60 lbs in each bag. I used a portable shop vac to vacuum up all the excess sand.A word of caution, do your best to position the base to where it can be most helpful. Yes, the rotator is easy to use, and the pics on Amazon show you the extent of the range and position where the umbrella comes to, but remember, once in its place with all that sand, it's very very difficult to move around. Keep in mind that the sun moves, so there likely is no one spot that works in all angles. The fact that the umbrella rotates and can adjust its angle makes it great for almost any reasonable placement.The riser handle is solid and looks modern, the opening is large enough to fit any hand, and it's easy to move up and down. The locking wheel keeps the riser in place, and the crank is very easy to turn in either direction. Putting the umbrella down and storing it for the night is simple, and the closing tabs keep it bundled. We bought a cantilever umbrella weather cover that has a handle to lift it over the top and cover the fabric and housing for greater protection and to make it last.Overall, it takes an hour or so (minus the time scooping and cleaning all the sand) to put together alone and fix any screw-ups you may have. But, as it compares to other products we have purchased, this is a solid umbrella and looks great. We looked for a cantilever umbrella for over 2 months and looked at those costing from $200 to $3,500. Couldn't get comfortable with the over $1,000 options, and tried to get comfortable with the look, construction, and color of the others. While reviews can go all over, so sometimes you take them with a grain of salt, we got comfortable with the Lausaint Home Umbrella, and it didn't disappoint!For the money - a great buy!

I bought the original 12FT LAUSAINT HOME umbrella in 2024 and it was excellent. It was easy to assemble, looked great, provided wide shade coverage, and held up well through a full year of use — until a strong thunderstorm finally broke it. I liked it so much I ordered what I thought was the same model again in May 2025.Unfortunately, the new umbrella I received was noticeably smaller. After comparing it side by side with the original, it was clear that the design had changed — this version had fewer ribs and a shorter pole. While it’s still listed as a 12FT umbrella, the real-world coverage felt closer to 10FT. Nowhere on the product page did it clearly explain these differences.That said, customer service (Aria from LAUSAINT HOME) was friendly, responsive, and quick to resolve the issue. After I sent measurements and photos, they issued a full refund. I really appreciated their professionalism.Important tip: LAUSAINT sells several versions of this umbrella, so double-check the model details — especially the rib count and dimensions — before ordering.I just re-ordered the original 12FT model again and it should be delivered next week. Fingers crossed it’s the same one I loved the first time!

Great 12' offset. The poles, base and HW are heavy-duty and good quality. Rotating base is thick cast steel that feels like it will handle the lateral loads. The 220 lbs. of sand noted for the base is an accurate estimate and definitely required. Very happy with the packaging and ease of assembly. I'll report back on color fastness of of umbrella material after the summer sun does it's work.

Not the easiest to assemble! Definitely need a few hands but it is large and provides ample shade!! Perfect for around pool or on lake dock. We had to buy sand to fill bags.

It’s a nice Umbrella and not to much work to put the base together.We used 200 lbs of sand since we are in a very windy location .My only complaint was it went on sale right after I bought it.

Purchased this on a flash deal and it completely exceeded my expectations! I was worried about reviews that said instructions were difficult to understand, because I wanted to surprise my husband, but I had zero issues assembling solo! For reference I’m 5’2” and 120lbs. It’s beautiful. What a great value

Excellent Quality and Service. The umbrella went on sale $40 cheaper after I purchased and the company refunded the difference. No questions asked! Very impressed!

Made in China so buy now!Delivered yesterday and I assembled it today. Very straightforward as they have a printed instruction booklet included. All tools are supplied (well, apart from a knife or scissors to cut open the blister pack).Very high quality and amazing that this is at the price they charge.
