Midtown Umbrellas The Supreme 10' Cantilever Umbrella
Best step-up — Consumer Reports' second-highest-scoring patio umbrella — a Sunbrella canopy at about $2,000, with no owner base at all
How to read a Showdown Score™
The only score that counts how often a product breaks, not just how owners feel about it.
- Three parts add up to the score: what owners rate it, how often it fails them, and whether a credentialed tester backed it.
- Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
- Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.

Pros
- Consumer Reports scores it 84 — second of the nineteen patio umbrellas it has lab-tested, on ease of use, ease of assembly and rigidity
- Sunbrella acrylic canopy — the solution-dyed fabric the budget tier substitutes with polyester
- Hands-free 360° rotation on a foot pedal, plus tilt
- Commercial-grade aluminum pole; Midtown sells replacement frames and parts direct, which is rare at any price
Cons
- No owner ratings at all on Amazon — a lab likes it and not one buyer has reported back, so there is no independent read on how it survives a season outdoors
- No base in the box, and a 10 ft cantilever needs 100 lb or more of ballast on top of the $2,000
- The PURPLE LEAF double-top Consumer Reports scored (the $429 wood-grain version of this roundup's winner) gets 82 to this one's 84 — you are paying more than four times as much for two points and a better fabric
Pro review 84/100 — Second of the nineteen patio umbrellas Consumer Reports has lab-tested, scored on ease of use, ease of assembly and rigidity — behind only the Treasure Garden AKZ PLUS (85; CR listed it at $2,100).— Consumer Reports
FAQ
Who is the Midtown Umbrellas The Supreme 10' Cantilever Umbrella for?

Record
- — Identity confirmed: the listing's added 'with LED Lights' matches Midtown's own description of The Supreme. The only offer is Midtown Umbrellas itself at $1,999.99, up from the $1,399.99 we published in August, so the card and the post now say about $2,000. Still no featured offer on Amazon.
