Greater than one weekThe colors are beautiful just as in the picture. It definitely blocks out the sun and not translucent like typical umbrellas. I like that its lightweight so its easy to drop in a bag and go. However, just as with almost any umbrella, beware during windy days. Mine flipped and the spokes on the end are plastic and thin alloid so the first gust of wind snapped two in half. I bought another since it does the job well of sun protection.

> 3 dayI love the painting, and the price. But the umbrella needs to be wider. It covers one side or the other. Cannot position it in a way that it covers both arms. Also, having to push it all the way closed before it can be reopened is annoying to say the least!

24-11-2024I love Van Gogh! His use of blues is one of my favorite things about his work. Anyway, I opened and shut the umbrella several times and the mechanism is working properly. Inside it has a silver ling, what I assume to be the sunscreen portion of the umbrella, which I have yet to practice and is the reason I bought the umbrella. When on-ground school starts, every teacher has to take a recess/pickup/drop-off duty, so we are awaiting the Governors decisions. In the past, I used my regular umbrella, and it wasnt effective. Was going to buy a cloth parasol, but couldnt be assured of the SPF. After I use it on the playground a couple of times, Ill let you know!

> 3 dayWe bought one a year ago. Totally works to reduce heat from the sun. Used it in the Caribbean, Bahamas, and in the Everglades. Definitely noticed huge difference when under the umbrella versus standing directly in the sun. Decided to buy another, but wanted a different color or print. I ordered and returned two other umbrellas and bought a second of this one. This umbrella set the mark, and the others were significantly lower quality, even with their good reviews. What works: Color is good. Print is pleasing. Material is very sturdy and has no bad odor (the other two had strange and stinky fabric). Handle is comfortable enough, though it would be nice to have it a little longer. Opens very easily with one button push. Closes fairly easy with a button push and then collapsing the shaft manually. Definitely superior to the others we tried. Wish it came from this company in other colors or prints. Overall excellent value for the low price.

> 3 dayI bought this for my ten day trip to Disney because no matter how much sunscreen I use, I always burn!! Enter this umbrella. It was light, so fun to open and close, and sun protection? Perfection!! There were a few moments I thought the wind would get the best of it, but it held on! And it was light enough and small enough to be thrown into our Disney satchel. I loved this umbrella!

> 3 dayLove this for sun protection, it’s attractive too. This is my second one as the first lasted about 3 years and the spokes broke. Would like the spokes to be a little sturdier otherwise a great product

> 3 dayLove the design but not the structure of this umbrella. It is hard to open and close. It is not very sturdy and the handle is not comfortable. I gave it 3 stars because it does protect me from light rain. Even if I were to use it for more sun protection than rain, it still does not open and close easily.

> 3 dayWorks well to block out sun and heat, but takes an annoying amount of strength to push the umbrella down the last half inch to close it (Im a very able-bodied young person). I have to use two hands and hold it just so to do it. And the parasol has to be fully closed before it can be reopened. It appears you cant open it manually because it doesnt lock in the open position when you push it up with your hands- you have to use the button. Pretty significant design flaw. Van Gogh design is unique and pretty though. Update: The vendor provided very good customer service after hearing about my disappointment with this product.

Greater than one weekI bought this umbrella to use on vacation in New Orleans, for rain and sun protection. It worked wonderfully for both! The automatic mechanism is easy to use; just read the directions. The design is beautiful, and the sun protection was excellent. My daughter used this one and it kept her from wilting in the 95 degree heat. I would buy this again if I needed another and would recommend it to a friend.
