Automatic Umbrella, GLODEALS Creative Oil Painting Automatic Folding Umbrella Anti UV Sunblock Umbrella Sun Protection Parasol Rain/Sun Umbrella for Ladies (Almond Blossom)

Horrible umbrella/parasol. Horrible customer service. First of all, this is listed for rain and sun but it doesnt block out the rain. The first time I used it, raindrops leaked through the seams and directly on to my head. It was a mildly rainy day, not stormy nor windy. I couldnt believe that it was so poorly designed. Secondly, the button on the side doesnt work to close the umbrella. It is labeled to automatically close, but upon pushing the button, only the top shuts and the metal shaft remains extended. It wouldnt be so bad except that it is exceedingly hard to close it by hand. Even my husband had to use two hands to try and close it and he was struggling. Third, it is very heavy and uncomfortable. Its by far, the heaviest umbrella, Ive ever had. I would have never bought it if I held it in a store. It does not fit comfortably in a purse and even if it did, it would weigh the whole thing down. Worst of all, when I wrote to the seller about all these problems, I was completely ignored. It truly shows they are just trying to make a quick profit and dont care about their customers. They cant even take the time to send a basic response. I have no use for this umbrella. I am completely unsatisfied. You cannot rely on this product and you cannot rely on this company.

Gorgeous! A little hard to close. Actually need to hands.

This has become my favorite means for sun protection. Single finger, open/closed button makes it easy to use when hands are full. Once in a while the button can get stuck but easy to get back into place. The only downside is this version is normal umbrella size, which is okay but I find that for the summer I may want something wider.

A bit hard to slide in to close but otherwise excellent

I get complements on my beautiful sun umbrella, and it shades wonderfully. Its compact and packs easily. After a few weeks of usage, its gotten stubborn about closing back up, which makes me nervous about its longevity. The sleeve is the tightest of any umbrella Ive ever owned, which is not a deal-breaker, just odd and a bit of a nuisance. Otherwise, excellent item.

I like this umbrella. It shields me from the sun. The Van Gogh print is lovely. The handle seems a little shaky but it works. Overall I like this item.

Im back to purchase my second Glodeals Almond Blossoms Van Gough print rain/sun umbrella. Have had compliments on how pretty it is and no sunburn while using it. I agree with another reviewer who found it difficult to close. Please read and study instructions in the description on how to open and close. It is opened and closed with the simple press of the up or down button on the handle. Once the canopy is down, (and the umbrella is partially closed,) I have to press the center of the top against a wall and then push the handle forward to completely close it. It is compact enough to carry in a tote bag or large purse. Now that I understand how to operate it I expect it last for years. It works very well for rain too.

My only complaint if any, is it doesnt fold super quick to put back in sleeve. But because it has the extra UV layer, I expected this.

My daughter keeps is sensitive to the sun and keeps it in her backpack when she walks to class

It is the actual design that you see in the picture. I had bought it to get protected by the arizona sun but woahhhh its doesnt work here. The silver coating inside the umbrella is a very thin one. The height upto which it opens is also a bit less. I would recommend this umbrella to people who want to use it in rains.
