Why Center Post?

What our clients say

Hear what EG Umbrella owners — from businesses to homeowners — love the most.
Jonathan Cripe
The quality of EG Umbrellas’ products is outstanding. Their large patio umbrellas are not only incredibly durable and weather-resistant, but they’re also elegantly designed, adding a professional aesthetic to our outdoor space. The installation process was seamless, and their customer service team was knowledgeable and responsive throughout. EG Umbrellas didn’t just sell us an umbrella – they gave us back our entire patio and significantly improved our workplace environment.

PG Development and Property Management
As a property management and development company, we constantly seek ways to enhance tenant living and property value. Our investment in EG’s commercial-grade umbrellas has been a game-changer, transforming underutilized outdoor spaces like courtyards into desirable extensions of our living areas. The umbrellas' robust construction, ease of operation, and expansive shade have allowed tenants to comfortably use these spaces for work, relaxation, or dining, significantly improving their quality of life.
WM Home Owner
Beyond their beautiful and aesthetically pleasing design, we've found them to be remarkably long-lasting and durable. It's a welcome change not having to replace broken umbrellas every year or two, and we particularly appreciate their European look and design! The added benefit of the rain gutter connecting the umbrellas has been fantastic for keeping our cushions dry, so we no longer have to rush to bring them in when it rains.
