One happy customer, who gave the parasol a 5 star review, wrote: “Sat outside under it with the solar lights on the other night and it was great.
“Pretty lights and nice big parasol. Does blow around in the slightest breeze though but it’s pretty sturdy!”
Another said: “Easy to assemble and fill the weights with water. The led lights also look great and generally it looks nicely made.”
Whilst someone else added: ” Looks fab. Very luxurious shelter from the rain ( 100% waterproof tested) and shade over a large 9 seater corner suite.
“I had a problem with the lights but they sent a replacement solar plate very quickly and it works perfect now. Very happy with it. Lots of great compliments at my last BBQ.”
However, one shopper complained that the parasol didn’t withstand the weather.
They wrote: “The lights are very pretty on the inside and work well. However as soon as there’s a slight breeze the parasol starts swinging about as if it’s a level 5 hurricane.”
Shoppers can buy the Parasol with LED Lights and Water Base from Debenhams or from Amazon.
