Hey what’s going on guys, John here. In this video I review the Best Choice Products patio umbrella with the built-in solar LED lights, and I walk you through the installation step-by-step. Best Choice Products sent this to me for a sponsored post, but you’re still getting my honest take. I show you how big the coverage actually is in the real world (it easily spans my standard 6-seater picnic table), and I break down how the base works with the four large plastic sections that sit on the crossbars and get weighted down with water or sand. I also demo the adjustment features that actually matter when you’re using it outside: the foot pedal that lets you rotate and lock the umbrella position, plus the lever/mechanism to change the tilt and height. Then I show the solar panel on top and how it powers the string lights along the ribs and the center light—nice if you’re eating outside at night. Finally, I cover how to close it down with the crank/rod and the built-in Velcro strap, and I give you my overall verdict: it’s well-made, straightforward to assemble, but the base is large so you need to measure your space first.
