Fantastic, premium quality umbrella. I did the rabbit hole research and ultimately went with Purple Leaf for our cantilever patio umbrella. It’s a 10’ area of shade coverage, with 360 degree pivot and multiple layers of tilt, so there’s no sun angle we can’t block. It also looks beautiful on our patio, adds a high level of elegance, and the fabric is solid and substantial to looks at and also to touch. The base is a much smaller footprint on our smaller patio than our previous umbrella so this is a massive upgrade. They have one or two other higher tier umbrellas, some of which are commercial level—like you’d find at resort pools— and we didn’t feel the need to go there, but now I wonder how great they must be considering this is their entry-level model. The assembly was a breeze, and rolling it up and down is effortless. Emily gave us amazing customer support, guided me to the right base, and took the time to check back in to make sure all was well. We couldn’t be happier.

Love this umbrella so much! It was fairly easy to setup but definitely requires two people but only took a few minutes. We did put sand and water into the bases as its quite heavy and definitely needed the stability of weight at the bottom. The dark gray is perfect and after a few months hasn’t faded at all. It gives us plenty of shade for our patio set and can easily be adjusted with one hand. It is a bit heavy to move around after the base is filled but not as difficult as we were expecting. We have left it for months and haven’t had any issues with wind although our backyard is fairly protected from air flow. All in all it is well built, works like a dream and appears as though it will last for years.

“The PURPLE LEAF 10’ X 13’ patio umbrella is outstanding! It provides excellent shade coverage with its large rectangle design, perfect for our garden and pool area. The 360-degree rotation feature is a game changer, allowing us to easily adjust the shade throughout the day. The aluminum frame feels sturdy and durable, and the grey color looks sleek and modern. It’s also easy to operate and adds a stylish touch to our outdoor space. Definitely a 5-star umbrella for any patio!”

I bought this one because it seemed similar but less expensive vs. others sold in large stores and also on Amazon. It arrived on time and well packaged. Was fairly easy to assemble once you figure out what goes where and in what direction. The instructions are good, not great. One thing to keep in mind is that these cantilever umbrellas are not very sturdy in the wind regardless what they all say. Even a bit of wind with some gusts will have the umbrella top move all over the place. In my case, it scratched my low-hanging gutters until I mode it further away. I ended up buying a set of straps, here on Amazon, that stabilize the umbrella a fair bit; they were inexpensive, around $10. The stream that holds the umbrella when closed is OK for now, but am sure will not last long. Just a "velcro" strip that will fail sooner rather than later. At that point, I'll move to a tie also sold on Amazon or a bungee cord.

For months, I had compared several cantilever umbrella shades online and finally decided to go with Purple Leaf for the following reasons: 1. The geometry and the color/finish of the pole seem to be much more contemporary/modern than most brands. It is devoid of unnecessary decorations/details. 2. The company offers its product internationally but has a headquarter in the US. It offers a variety of yard furniture. This is not just some Chinese importer with a US warehouse. 3. The branding of the product is quite acceptable. The logo is subtle enough. 4. It offers a dark grey color with a dark grey umbrella structure. I found most color combinations accentuate the umbrella's structure in an unwanted way that simply adds a ton of visual clutter and distraction from your garden. 5. When checking out the base options on Purple Leaf's website, one could find many different types - including in-ground and flush mount types. The company is serious about offering products that work for most customers. To provide shade for my 5'x5' table, I ordered a 9'x9' umbrella, which is giant, with a water-filled wheelbase. The instruction is clear. The setup took less than an hour. I am 5'-2" and have no problem operating the tilt and the 360-degree rotation. The product is solid. I had a small issue with the finish on the pole due to the pole being handled when the paint was still tender in the factory. The Purple Leaf team took care of it. The customer service was superb. If a cantilever umbrella is what you need (I had to make sure the plants that need full sun won't be shaded, thus flexibility was a key factor), look no further. Be sure to head to Purple Leaf's website which offers more options than you can imagine.

I recently purchased an umbrella and a lounge from Purple Leaf, and I couldn’t be happier! The umbrella is sturdy, well-made, and provides excellent shade, even on the sunniest days. The lounge is incredibly comfortable, stylish, and perfect for relaxing outdoors. Both products feel durable and high-quality, making them a great addition to my patio. I’m very impressed with Purple Leaf’s craftsmanship and attention to detail. Highly recommend their products for anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space!
