JYSK SUNCOBRAN NAPPEDAM Ø250CM TAMNO SIVA

Pros

• High-quality materials and construction: Commonly mentioned, described as "well-made," "sturdy," "strong," "high-quality," "robust," and "solidly made". One reviewer noted using a similar parasol for 10 years. Another described the material as waterproof and easy to clean. Reviewers also describe the material as "thick" and "durable".
• Good value for money: Frequently praised as offering excellent value considering the price. Several reviews explicitly mention this. One reviewer stated it was "good quality for the price". Another called it a "good buy".
• Easy to use: Described as "easy to open," "easy to assemble," and utilizing a convenient crank mechanism.
• Attractive appearance: Many reviewers highlight the parasol''s aesthetically pleasing design, using terms like "beautiful," "stylish," "nice," and describing it as having a "clean Scandinavian style". The grey color is specifically mentioned as "nice" and "flattering".
• Large size: The 250cm size is noted as "spacious," "large," "roomy," and "ideal" for providing significant shade. However, one review mentions it doesn''t cover a large area due to its height, implying this could be subjective. Another review notes it as "perhaps a bit too small in diameter".
• Wind resistance: Several reviews claim the parasol remains stable even in stronger winds, withstanding gusts. However, other reviews report broken spokes in windy conditions.
• Water resistance: At least one review reports that the parasol effectively protects from rain, withstanding downpours and heavy rain. This contrasts with another review indicating that the parasol is only moisture resistant and not waterproof, and another review where the parasol broke during the first rain.

Cons

• Pole incompatibility: One review mentions the atypical pole doesn''t fit most holders.
• Water resistance: While some reviewers report good water resistance, others state that water seeps through during longer periods of rain (it is described as resistant to moisture, not waterproof). One parasol broke during its first exposure to rain.
• Short lifespan: Several reviews report the parasol breaking after relatively short periods of use (two years, one week, or even during first use in some cases), with broken spokes and broken crank mechanisms being frequently cited. One review stated the pull cord broke after infrequent use.
• Height: The parasol''s height is mentioned as excessive by some users, making it unsuitable for providing shade for shorter individuals. One review mentions that the height is manageable, suggesting solutions are available to adjust this.
• Tilting mechanism: One review returned the parasol unopened because it did not tilt, suggesting a potential discrepancy between the product description and the actual product. Another review mentions the lack of a tilt mechanism as a small disadvantage.
• Self-closing mechanism: One review reports that the parasol automatically closes itself after opening, suggesting a defect in the crank mechanism.
• Number of ribs: One review mentions the parasol provides less shade due to a small number of ribs and unbent edge.

Comments

The reviews reveal a wide range of experiences with the parasol, from overwhelmingly positive to severely negative. While many praise its quality, ease of use, and aesthetic appeal, a significant number of users report problems with durability and functionality, particularly concerning the crank mechanism, spokes, and pull cord. The disparity in experiences suggests potential quality control issues or variations in manufacturing. The frequent mention of the parasol''s height suggests that prospective buyers should consider their own height and the intended use before purchasing. The number of ribs appears to influence the amount of shade provided.
