Why this parasol earns its place
Cream reads differently than black — lighter, more approachable, less architectural. This 2.5-metre Bolero parasol sits nicely over a small table or a quiet corner of a garden, where you want the shade without the visual weight. At 2370 mm tall, it clears heads easily and the proportions feel balanced over a two- or four-seater table rather than dominating a space.
The construction is the same honest approach as Bolero's larger models: a wooden frame carrying cream polyester that's designed to handle the British climate. Wood and polyester together strike a practical balance — not precious, not agricultural, just durable equipment that does its job. Six and a half kilograms is genuinely light, which matters if you're moving it seasonally or rotating it around a garden. The polyester canopy is UV-stable and sheds water quickly, so it doesn't pool or degrade after a season of sun and rain.
Cream is the better choice if your café, pub garden, or patio leans towards warmth: it filters light rather than blocking it, and it suits traditional or cottage-style settings better than black. Paired with the right base (the CD213 Parasol Base is sold separately), it becomes the kind of fixture guests return to.
