Terrible experience - do not buy
We have had our shade sail for about a month, and it has been an extremely frustrating and underwhelming experience. Although the product appears to be well made, I wish we had not made this purchase.
The key issues:
* The measurement and design process is largely self-driven, with no assistance from Maanta.
* There seems to be no salesforce or technical personnel in the US, which makes installation a DIY process as well.
* Installation documentation is unclear and outdated.
* When issues (inevitably arise), Maanta customer support is not responsive. We are still waiting a response on a non-operational piece of equipment, which will require either a refund or the entire sale to be recut.
Save your time and money, and look elsewhere for shade solutions.

Rips within a year
The product looks good when you get but it does NOT last. Less than a year, the sail starts to get tiny holes. When I contacted customer service who raved about the quality when they sold it to me, they said it was normal wear and tear. Now I have full rips. I would not have paid this price if I knew the quality was this poor.

After reviewing the photos of the holes and rips, our team determined that this damage was caused by external factors, such as an impact or a burn, rather than normal wear and tear or a manufacturing defect. Because the fabric was damaged by outside elements, it unfortunately isn't covered under our warranty.
We understand how frustrating this is, and we are sorry for any disappointment this has caused.
Customer Service - FAIL
I provided the dimension and they proceeded to "adjust" and shrink further then they admitted in an email and now i am stuck with a piece of fabric that is completely useless. They protect themselves from accountability. Their response was we reduce by 12" but during the order process they reduced it 24" and then 5% more. Since i didn't catch their error I'm now on the hook. BAD EXPERIENCE - BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Overrated Company
To me, this product looks really cheap. It is also very expensive, and it isn't worth the money I paid. I have followed all the instructions and watched plenty of videos to try and make this product look like the nice, elegant pictures you see on the website, but it looks raggedy. No matter how much I try and tighten it, it sags. My custom shade sail can't be returned and I figured it couldn't be, but this product was a disaster, and I am very disappointed. I am not happy at all, and I do not recommend this company or products.

We want to clarify that, from our very first contact, we made ourselves available to provide all the necessary assistance for the installation of your shade sail.

Solid product and support
I was impressed with the product support during the design process, and follow up in shipping and tracking delivery. The products themselves are very well made, precision fitted and durable materials. I was initially concerned about the cost, but definitely got what I paid for.

Delivery kept being delayed (3times) from when we were emailed it would arrive, so was difficult to plan for our contractor to arrive.
Also, ordered more of the “glue” that is supposed to mix itself when installing the screws. It also was late in arriving and one of the tubes did not mix itself. It was a mess for the contractor who had to get it all out and stir it then push it into the hole.

Thanks for your feedback. We're very sorry for the multiple delays you experienced with your delivery. Unfortunately, a sudden change in customs regulations caused unforeseen shipping issues during that period.
We're also very sorry to hear about the problem with the chemical anchor. It's frustrating when a product doesn't work as expected, and we understand the extra trouble this caused for your contractor. We've passed this feedback on to our quality control team to investigate.

I was looking for a quality sun sail and I found it with Maanta. Anna was great as she walked me thru the design, install and final adjustments. If you want a product that is quality and looks great then Maanta is it. The ability to tweak out any dips/slack is awesome and I was unaware until the final install. I suggest a little graph paper and reading their install guides.

We look forward to assisting you again for future projects!

Great Product and Service!
This is the third time I've ordered a Shade Sail from Maanta and continue to be happy with the service. The product is great and the service is exceptional. There was an issue with one of my sails (a blemish in the canvas), I opened a service request (w/photos) and they made a brand new sail and shipped it out to me immediately. I would not hesitate to buy another Maanta Sail!

The Maanta Patio Shade review
The Maanta Patio Shade I ordered arrived as promised and lived up to its reputation for quality. It was easy to install and performs wonderfully.
I opted for the manual crank for raising and lowering the shade. It works fine, but the gearing ratio is too low. To drop the shade to the height I need it in the afternoon, it has to extend to half it's length, which is about 55 inches. It takes FOREVER to lower and later raise it.
Thank you,
Frank Stinga

thank you for your feedback and for appreciating the quality and performance of your Maanta Reef Roll shade. We’re glad to hear the installation went smoothly.
Regarding the manual crank system, we understand your concern about the time required to fully raise or lower the shade due to the current gear ratio.
For improved comfort and daily usability, we strongly recommend switching to a motorized version. It's ideal for frequent adjustments and can be controlled effortlessly.
Feel free to contact us for upgrade options, our team will be happy to guide you.
Great Roller Shades!
Everything turned out great! These are good quality roller shades. All the dimensions were perfect. The shipping was fast despite coming from overseas.

Maistra Canopy
Shipping was quick and responsible. Welll packed and no missing parts
Assembly was challenging because directions were unclear at times. Mission accomplished and I feel confident that customer service would have been responsive to any questions as they had been throughout the process. Assembly has been interrupted by travel and I look forward to completing the project on my return. I kook forward to seeing Maistra in all its glory on our beach and operating this beautifully designed Italian masterpiece.

We hope you enjoy the final result of your Maistra Canopy on your beach! We're proud it's an Italian design.

Poor product, delivery, and customer service!
I've never had quite such bad customer service as I've had from Maanta. I purchased a custom Reef Roll for over ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS from this company and the follow up has been such a joke. They did not reply to any inquires for over a week and when they did just flat out refused to offer a return. The product was badly damaged in transit, as evidenced by photos I sent, and I was unable to mount it. The instructions were also comedically bad to the point where I wanted to scream. And I am an avid DIYer! avoid this company at all costs. You might think you can't get a motorized shade elsewhere but I beg you to find something else.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration and want to address your concerns thoroughly.
First, regarding our response time: due to the high volume of inquiries during our sale period, our usual response times have unfortunately been extended to about four days. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience.
As for the return policy, we’d like to clarify that custom-made products, such as your Reef Roll, are non-returnable, as clearly stated on our website at the time of purchase. However, we do take reports of damage during transit seriously. As mentioned in our previous emails, we are more than willing to provide replacement parts for the components that were scratched or damaged. This way, you can fully enjoy your product without additional costs.
On the topic of installation, we understand your frustration with the instructions. We’ve made more detailed manuals available on our website and sent you these resources via email. In addition, we offered dedicated support to guide you through the installation process. However, to provide the most effective assistance, we’re still waiting for the requested photos to better understand the specific challenges you’re facing.
While the vast majority of our customers successfully install their motorized shades without issues, we are committed to helping you overcome any difficulties. Please know that our goal is your satisfaction, and we’re here to support you in making the most of your purchase
Terrible customer service
Terrible customer service, they were extremely rude when I was asking about shipping as well as a Black Friday discount that was offered literally one day after my order. Also, the product was low quality. I have sent 4 emails asking for a return shipping label so I can return my product, and they are ignoring all my emails. Mario Z who is their customer service rep actually stated in an email "I really do not see a reason to complain". You trust these guys with giving you any after service on their product?

Thank you for your feedback. We’d like to clarify a few points: your request to receive the product by Thanksgiving was prioritized, and we successfully delivered it a day earlier. Had you placed your order during the Black Friday discount period, as you mentioned, the item would not have arrived on time.
We have responded to your emails and provided return labels as requested. The concern you’ve raised seems to stem from not receiving an additional discount after your purchase, which we couldn't accommodate since your order was completed prior to the already announced promotional period.
We strive to offer the best service possible and regret that this experience didn’t meet your expectations.
A very poor experience
A very poor experience
The order was not even close to the measurements supplied to Maanta. I contacted Maanta and they responded telling me that "The fabric is 4 3/8 inch narrower than the overall width of the structure." They have yet to respond to my emails for credit. One panel ordered was supposed to be 80" wide and arrived 60" wide. An extremely poor experience.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns and would like to clarify.
As mentioned in our email response, the fabric is indeed 4 3/8 inches narrower than the total width of the structure. This detail is clearly stated in the section where you entered the measurements for your drop awning.
Regarding the panel you mentioned as being 60 inches wide, we can confirm that this is not accurate. The fabric is 74 inches wide and consists of two pieces, each 60 inches tall. Simply unrolling the fabric and installing the awning will show that everything is as it should be.
If you encounter any further issues or need assistance during installation, we are happy to help.
I have 2 reef rollers
I have 2 reef rollers. The first one arrived right on schedule and the second arrived 3 days early(both sent to CA). So shipping from Italy was excellent. I bought these because I had quality issues with the big box store offerings. The Manta shades are great quality.
The slight improvements that should be made are:
1) screwing the fabric down into the elastic cord at the ends of the fabric is frustrating since cord just rotates so you have to fuss a lot to get the screws in.
2) the wire cable attachment to the brackets should be revised with a ferrule at one end at least.
3)the width of shade plus brackets does not account for the nuts required to fasten the shade to the brackets. For between post installations this could cause a problem.
