  The umbrella does not withstand serious wind. The first time, the ribs bent. The second time, the holders of the ribs broke. It can only be used on beaches with mild winds. Disappointment.

  The umbrella is huge, with good quality shade and very good construction. Combine it with the metal spike base from Solart for 7 euros and you will remember me! 2 people with chairs and things sit comfortably underneath.

  The wires that hold the spokes are useless, they bent, meaning they deformed with air. It's practically a canopy with a pole

  The umbrella is one of the best on the market... it does a very good job even in winds that make other umbrellas turn inside out and break, this one holds up... I give it 3 stars because after two quite challenging summers, I took it for service to the company to have them replace the 2 metal rods that hold the spokes... the clowns at the company replaced 1 of the 2 (10 working days later) and charged me normally for both without doing the job... the result is that I took it with me on vacation thinking that the rods had indeed been replaced and in strong wind the old wire disintegrated and took the second one with it, resulting in the umbrella breaking...

  I have used it ten times and I am satisfied. The "ears" of the umbrella are convenient because as the position of the sun changes, I either open them or rotate the umbrella around its axis and adjust the shade to the spot we want.

  A downside is that it has a very long pole and does not fit in the trunk or at the feet in the back seat. Only in the front passenger seat upright. The good thing is that I can almost stand under the umbrella.

  Also a downside is that the outside of the umbrella is blue instead of silver like most umbrellas, resulting in it gathering heat underneath.

  The pole is 32mm.

  In the wind, there is still no problem.

  Purchased from a well-known toy store due to a promotion.
  Import from a well-known umbrella company that also imports another well-known brand for the beaches.
  Indeed, with the hammer stake, the umbrella stands quite high, but the 4 stakes help with good stabilization, while the windows help with coolness under the umbrella and the passage of air without affecting the good stabilization.
  It seems quite high quality, and so far I have no issues.
  The 4 stars for two reasons:
  1st it does not have tilt
  2nd if the umbrella's pole were 20 centimeters shorter, it would secure better in the hammer stake. Of course, at the dealership, they told me that the umbrella is also for side placement, which is why the length is this way on the pole. However, for the side position, it requires you to terminate the umbrella pole at the base pole, so again if the pole were 20 centimeters shorter, it would work perfectly in both upright and side positions!
  UPDATE:
  I went to the company to have them replace a piece of silicone that came off the clamp of the stake where the umbrella goes and was not supporting properly. They put new silicone on and glued it to the screw holder so it wouldn't come off again.
  I would suggest you do the same and glue the silicone to its holder.
  2nd UPDATE:
  I went to a camping store and bought metal stakes and a special set of ropes for tent stakes (you can see a related photo), and this gave me more confidence in the stabilization.
  10 stakes with 4 ropes cost €12.

  Although I have bought another umbrella from this company and it turned out to be very good, this specific umbrella is unacceptable. On the third time I used it, the base broke without any wind or anything, I just opened it and it broke. Truly unacceptable construction and definitely not worth its money.

  3rd summer this year excellent experience!!! It's worth its money and more, with daily hours of use mainly in the Cyclades (I emphasize because of the wind) impeccable as well as its protection from the sun!!

  It looks good, but I haven't tested it in extreme conditions or for a long period of time.

  1) The base does not screw into the sand, so you need to find an alternative solution, like the mentioned hammer in other comments. I used a screw base from Jumbo that I had on hand, and it worked well.
  2) The screw for the two poles broke off in my hand. It was stuck with a terrible silicone that had almost liquefied due to the heat. It's ridiculous because it should have been screwed or factory welded.
  3) I would give it 4 stars if it had the option to tilt the pole like other umbrellas.
  4) When you lay it completely flat, you have to come up with a trick to secure it so that the pole doesn't lift. Both parts of the pole could have a hole, so that the bottom part stays vertical in the sand and the top part can easily attach to it. If it had that, it would deserve 5 stars.
  5) The difficult transportation is a major drawback. Even in my SUV, it doesn't fit in the trunk when laid flat. Of course, it's somewhat expected for such a large umbrella

  Very big and good shade, the only negative thing and that's why it gets 4 stars is that it doesn't do the blending that the others do.

  I waited a year to see what would happen.
  And the 3 we had bought broke at the top wire, it's not something special in terms of repair but just the disappointment that they broke after 20 uses.... If you want it for this year, okay, but if you want to have it for years to come, it's not suitable for you

  Last year we used it for 3-4 baths. This year it broke on the first bath as we were opening it (it had air) at the round point where the rays are connected with wire. We had the EXACT same experience as the user nopasaran's previous review. It cannot be repaired. 50 euros wasted. Also, it does not fit in the huge trunk of the Ford cmax and could only fit sideways in the back seat

  Very good umbrella, I have it for 5 years, the handle at the bottom was plastic and broke in the first uses. With a sturdy handle it stands tall and is not good if it blows a lot (5-6 Beaufort), I put it low with pegs and it was fine even with stronger wind! This year the wires that hold the ribs broke, I replaced them myself and it is ready for use again!

  It is a product that covers me from the sun during my stay at the beach. It is used almost daily for a period of 2 months in Crete and Gavdos with strong winds and it still holds up. Some modifications should be made to the pegs and the pole should be replaced with a sturdier one. The only tents that withstand the beach wind are this one and the salty tribe. All the others you have to chase after. Well done to solart 10/10

  Champika Beach in Rhodes. 6 Beaufort western wind. All the beach umbrellas, even those of the shops, are closed. Ours stands proudly with the windows and shutters open. Of course, we also bought the sturdy base from the same company, which is like a knife and costs around 7 euros. We will never pay for an umbrella on the beaches again. Highly recommended.

  Excellent umbrella! It comfortably withstood winds of 4+ bf, securely fastened with the pegs of course. After reading the previous reviews, I purchased the 32mm impact driver from the beginning and had no issues. Also, I want to emphasize that it does not require any special procedure for using the impact driver.

  I bought it last year and used it 5 times with normal air, it seemed fine to me and I liked the little pegs and windows it has. This year, on the first use, as soon as I opened it, it broke in my hands. The part that you push upwards to open the umbrella completely broke. That's where all the spokes connect with each other. For the money I paid, I expected something more. Also, the plastic screw on the pole that goes into the sand came off right away.

  Very good construction, excellent resistance to wind, large shade. One disadvantage which can be "fixed" is that it does not combine with a hammer handle unless you cut the clamp, as it is not on the detachable handle but on the umbrella frame, resulting in it not fitting into any hammer. It requires a 32 mm hammer handle when you cut it. Other than that, it is very good and I recommend it.

  Very satisfied. I have had it for 2 summers and it still holds up well. Tremendous shade and very convenient the little clips with the rope that hook onto the umbrella. It also withstands wind. Perfect.

  Very good umbrella, Shade for 3 - 4 people, which, when combined with a sturdy base and patented plastic pegs to tie the ropes, becomes super. Opening the windows to let the air pass through doesn't go anywhere. Its only drawback is that it doesn't fit in a car trunk.

  Very good choice, it has a very satisfactory size and provides ample shade for comfortably fitting 4 people. An extra tip is that you can remove its own pole, which will definitely break after a few uses, and replace it with a larger sturdy pole. To do this, simply remove the screw that is attached to the umbrella pole and insert it into the sturdy pole, which requires a larger diameter than the umbrella pole.

  Very high quality in construction overall, except for the bottom part of the plastic screw that goes into the ground. It had only been used 3 times on sandy beaches, and on the 4th time when I tried to screw it in, the plastic broke. As a result, the umbrella cannot be used and now we are looking for a solution with insertable hammer handles that we are not sure (according to the store where I bought it) if they fit. It's a shame because if the screw had durability, we would be talking about a perfect umbrella.

  Very good umbrella, maybe the best on the market. With 45€ there is definitely no better one.
  At the beach with wind, everyone was holding their umbrella so it wouldn't fly away, I was reading the news of the day on my tablet.
  Value for money!

  Very good umbrella, just the edge is plastic and if you go on pebbles and rocks slowly or quickly it will break, however there are metal bases and so on that are very good and cheap so it's not a problem.

  The umbrella is worth it!

  Very practical for transportation and easy to set up. Ideal for long stays at the beach, with great capacity and comfort. It requires attention when there is strong wind, and obviously cannot be used on rocky and hard surfaces. The awning for extra sun and shade is worth every penny...
