Expensive Grand Patio Umbrella Is Garbage Within One Year
I bought a Grand Patio 12FT Outdoor Offset Umbrella Large Round Aluminum for $350. It lasted a year and then fell apart. Now it is a giant piece of garbage taking up space in my backyard. It turns out there’s only a cheap piece of rope inside the steel tube holding up the umbrella. When the rope snaps, the entire contraption is toast. When I contacted Grand Patio, they didn’t have a fix. Instead they offered to sell me a new base - which I already had (empty, of course) - for $200.
