This is the easiest setup and take down umbrella we’ve ever owned. It provides enough shade for 4 people. Within days if owning it, 4 of our neighbors purchased them. And it’s just fun to watch it self adjust to the wind direction. Very clever!

I nearly always vacay in Horry County, SC. They aren’t allowed here. Beach police made me take it down 5 minutes after I set it up. I had read that they were allowed after Labor Day but that’s not true. I loved it during those 5 minutes though 🤷‍♀️

Solbello could not be easier to set up and provides much more shade than our 7' umbrella. We bought it a week ago and in that time period 4 of our neighbors have purchased one. Be prepared to meet a lot of people asking you what it is and where to get it.

We love our Solbello so much that we had to have another! Now we have plenty of coverage when we bring our guests to the beach. Noticed some improvements with our second shade and for the better. You don’t have to worry about this blowing into anyone when it’s a windy beach day. Very stable in the sand. Again lightweight and easy to set up. Also a huge thumbs up to the customer service department. Had a question about the difference in the 2 Solbellos we ordered and Paul was on it!! Do not hesitate. Delivery is exceptionally fast also. This is a great product and company to deal with.

We used the Solbello for the first time last weekend. LOVED it. Light to carry. Easy to put up and take down and it created a nice shaded space for a couple or small family. Great replacement for a beach umbrella (actually it folds open somewhat like an umbrella). The 'kite' form of the shade means it was MUCH more wind-resistant than an umbrella, and it moved with small changes in wind direction. If there's no wind it even has a set of ropes and pegs.
I know other people on the beach were impressed - someone even walked up and asked me about it.

We love our Solbello shade!! Lightweight, durable, easy to set up and tear down. Get plenty of compliments and inquiries on the beach for it too. It's also easy enough for my wife to set up by herself. Doesn't take much of a breeze to get this thing going either. And when the wind is blowing hard... super quiet! Not loud and distracting like some of the others.

I'm going to mention your competitor because it's the basis for my review.

My wife bought a Shibumi for our July beach trip this year and after using it for a week I felt we could do better (I could feel the heat under it and it was too noisy), so I bought a Solbello and we compared them over the Labor Day holiday outing at the beach. The Solbello won, and here's why: More visibility, easier setup, less noise, better SPF rating.

Even with just barely a breeze, the Solbello worked great and we didn't need to break out the no wind kit. The higher SPF is apparent because I didn't feel the heat coming through like I did with the Shibumi - that's a huge plus for me. On the days when the wind picked up, my wife and I could sit under it and comfortably carry on a conversation (read: low noise), another win. And it's the perfect size for a couple and their stuff - we had two chairs, a large beach bag and a cooler and we still had room.

There's another big reason to choose the Solbello - the visibility. With the Shibumi and it's inverted U-shaped design, one has to set it up into the wind. But what if the wind is parallel to the shoreline? You end up looking at a Shibumi flappy wall instead of the shoreline. With the Solbello and its single pole, one can have a 360-degree view regardless of wind direction. That's lovely.

The Shibumi is a fine product, to be sure, but the Solbello is better and our testing proved it.

We love our Solbello! Provides THE best shade and it's so easy to use. Company has best practices when it comes to customer service.

Used it for the first time out on fort fisher beach. Set up is supper easy and it provided a lot of shade. Love how the shade swivels with the wind direction. We had gusty up to 18 mph that day and the pole never move. Great sunshade for the beach. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Love this shade!! Great customer service to.. my auger broke due to a defect, I contacted the company and they responded within 5 minutes! The company sent me a new pole and I was not without my shade at all. Every time I use it people ask me about it, I would recommend this to all who need shade for 1 or 2 people.

We absolutely LOVE our Sorbella shade!! People stop by on the beach to see the name and where to get it. It is perfect for 2 people!!

This product is easy to use and lightweight setting it up on the beach is a breeze. We ran into some difficulties when we were trying to twist it out of the sand however the support team was quick to make it right. Would definitely recommend buying one of these!

I have several beach umbrellas/tents, etc. I received my Solbello recently and it is by far the best design I own. It is now the go to for just me and my wife to enjoy on the beach. It is so easy and quick to take up and down and it works great!

Couldn’t love it more, provides so much shade. So easy to put up and take down.
