Honeystore Princess Lace Ultraviolet-Proof Folding Umbrella Anti-uv Dome Parasol

This is a nice umbrella/parasol combo with a few really obnoxious problems. Its very good at doing its job, and looks way cuter in real life than in the pictures, with an neat little dotty internal pattern and blank space thats both smaller and less-ugly (even pretty!) than it looks here. Unfortunately, its kind of awkward to use, and it wont last a long time unless youre very careful with it. Definitely dont be afraid to glue the legs/spars of the umbrella back in their holes - just one *small* dab of gorilla glue on the hole before you put the leg back in is plenty for it to hold for a much longer time. Dont expect it to close down as small as it is when you first get it, and it takes a good bit of time to tie is closed without twisting the legs all around. That said, its still really good at blocking both rain and sun, and the material is quite thick and opaque. Its a good value if you carry a bigger purse or bag and are willing to be very careful and spend some extra time on it, but be sure youre aware of its disadvantages before you order. Pros: Wonderful at blocking both rain and sun Really cute - the pictures dont really do it justice The lace is durable, but still looks delicate Cute little charm beads hanging from the handle Pretty decent quality for the price Cons: The spars dont stay in their holes very well - I had to superglue some of mine back in The different sections of the telescoping handle rod get stuck or come loose pretty easily - expect it to take some pretty serious structural damage if youre rough with it or a kid messes with it or something. Really hard to close all the way without damaging it It tries to be purse-sized, but its a little too bulky Doesnt really fit into its carrying case very well Coverage is a little small - if you have long legs, dont expect this to keep them dry in a big rainstorm, especially if theres wind The handle is kind of awkward to hold, especially if you have bigger hands.

I had a few instances where it began to rain and i was very worried the wind was going to break the umbrella. I worry the rain will ruin and mold the lace, but it hasnt yet. I wish the handle was a little more erganimic and that the stem was longer. Its not too sturdy. Its cute but feels somewhat fragile. I was unsure if i even opened it all the way the first time i got it! You have to push it open pretty firmly to make the material stretch out. I thought i was going to rip it!

Most fantastic product! I purchased this to compliment a steam punk costume during a rainy Con. Not only is the umbrella gorgeous, it handled the torrential rain fall wonderfully AND came with an unexpected bonus lace carry bag that I integrated into other costumes. Highly recommend this product, and I may purchase a second for daily work wear use

Lovely item, Just as described, though a bit heavy.

This dainty parasol looks lovely and worked marvelously in the Hot Texas sun! Light weight and pretty.

The only reason i dont give 5 is its a 3fold instead of 2 fold style so its a little hard to get put away ans folded up properly.

I liked the way it looked. and the fabric seemed capable of blocking sunlight effectively BUT it worked for only one day. The second time I tried to use it the mechanism that locked it open would no longer hold. Maybe I got a lemon, but it could be a uniform design flaw. I initially gave the umbrella two stars for the flaw. The company immediately contacted me and very kindly offered to send me a replacement. Am looking forward to using it!

Perfect for my mother. Shes from Louisiana and is used to carrying something to keep the sun from damaging her skin. Light weight and cute.

Blocked the sun very well. I have a sun allergy and this was excellent to nap under and walk around with. I used it for a week long camping trip and was constantly opening and closing it. The structure is sound, but the ball handle at the end fell off the first day. The actual umbrella structure was very sturdy and i recieved compliments on its beauty everyday. Would purchase again.

Love using it to protect myself from the sun and like how it reduces down for carrying. It’s rather delicate and one should be careful of the spines. They’re sewn on and one of mine broke. I resewed it and it’s fine now.
