Galleria Van Gogh Starry Night Auto-Open/Close Large Portable Rain Fold Umbrella

Got this for my sister for her birthday. she loves it. very sturdy and pretty. She keeps it in her car.

I love this umbrella so much, I was super excited when it finally rained and I could use it! It has worked great so far, has a great quality, easy to close and open. Just awesome!

This is a nice idea but it doesnt hold up. It has a spring to open it and a spring to return it closed part way. One of the plastic brackets that holds the ribs in place broke on the third use. I sent requests to return the item but did not hear back from the seller. The Van Gogh print is nice and unique, just cant us it as intended.

my daughter loved it.

Decent cheap umbrella. I get a lot of compliments on it. After a year the corded handle broke, but thats not a huge deal. I would probably purchase a more heavy duty umbrella in the future. Perfect for light rain strolls in the park.

PRETTY BUT CHEAP. AFTER USING IT JUST A COUPLE OF TIMES, THE CLOSING MECHANISM BROKE AND IT WONT CLOSE ANYMORE. AND IT DOESNT STAY FULLY OPEN ANYMORE EITHER SO ITS JUST USELESS TRASH. UNFORTUNATELY, IT DIDNT RAIN ENOUGH IN THE REFUND WINDOW FOR ME TO LEARN THIS, SO BY THE TIME IT BROKE IT WAS TOO LATE TO RETURN IT.

Very pretty... Gifted it to a friend who loves this piece of art.

UPDATE June 2014: I guess the third time is the charm! I had bought two of these umbrellas in 2013 (see my original review below), and both of them had small holes in the fabric in the same place. However, after losing my Totes umbrella recently and the fact that Amazon has free returns, I decided to order another one of these Galleria umbrellas -- like I said below, I love Starry Night, and I also love that this has a generous 48 arc while still folding up to be compact. I am happy to say that the umbrella I ordered this time came in perfect condition and lived up to the expectations Id had when I originally ordered it in 2013... I guess the two I ordered then were just part of a bad batch that had been boxed up for too long. That said, my two-star rating has now gone up to four -- I am leaving one off because I did have those original quality control issues, and that may still be an issue for some of this brands stock. But the intact umbrella I now own is wonderful. ORIGINAL REVIEW March 2013 (titled I wanted to love it, but two attempts left me disappointed): Starry Night is one of my favorite pieces of art, so I was thrilled when I found this Galleria umbrella. It had such excellent reviews on Amazon that I ordered one straight away. When I first took it out of the box, it looked wonderful: the colors are incredibly vibrant, and the umbrella itself has a really sturdy-feeling frame. It was also compact when it was folded up, but when I opened it the arc was huge -- big enough for two people, which is rare in a compact model umbrella. I was overjoyed... ... Until I held it up in front of a light. Across the top of the umbrella right where it folds up, there were four or five little slits -- tiny, maybe 1/8 inch each or less -- across the fabric. I never would have noticed them if I hadnt happened to hold it up to the light, but they definitely would have let rain through. I was disappointed but just returned it for an exchange, thinking I must have just gotten a bad one. But alas, the second umbrella also had slits in the exact same location. It could just be that I got two that had been sitting in storage for too long and had worn down where the fabric rubbed against the boxes (like I said, the holes were right against the fold, so Im sure it gets worn down there faster than anywhere else), but I wasnt going to take my chances with a third. Again, I doubt that this is the case with every Galleria umbrella, and otherwise this was truly a lovely item. But Id advise you to check yours very carefully so you dont wind up disappointed and possibly damp. :(

If I could give it no stars I would. Used it once, and thought it was great. Second time, in pouring rain, I opened it, halfway to my car it popped shut. Tried to open it again and it seems the cord had broken. Im 65. Used a lot of umbrellas. NEVER had this happen. Piece of junk.
