Abba PatioReviews of abbapatio.com

Actually love our umbrella! It replaced our old one that was also an AbbaPatio so that tells you how satisfied we are with it. They’re easy to assemble and hold up very well over the years and through the weather. The only reason I couldn’t throw that fifth star on there was for a cosmetic change that I really wish you hadn’t made. Our old AbbaPatio umbrella had a small cover that came down and covered the 4 bolts in the base and the new one does not have that. So I’ll have to come up with a way to hide those. Still love it though!

The umbrella stand is great; very heavy and looks like it will support the umbrella nicely through a glass patio table. I haven't yet assembled it, but the necessary hardware is there. My only complaint is with the shipping packaging, as at least one other reviewer mentioned. The cardboard box was not designed for the stand and seemed to simply have been wrapped around the base and taped haphazardly with packaging tape. One edge of the base protruded from the box slightly. Luckily, it was not scratched and damaged. I am not sure if FedEx may have beat up the package in transit, but the packaging was clearly not compact enough and strong enough to hold the heavy base securely. Otherwise, I would probably rate five stars.

More or less happy with our new umbrella but a little disappointed to discover it does not swivel. I should have discovered this before I ordered and may have selected a different brand to get the swivel feature.
