I have only used the umbrella once and when it opened it was, for lack of a better word, inside out. It was easy to flip over though. It is a lovely umbrella to look at and I am sure it will keep me dry but it is not small or light enough for travel. On a recent trip my travel umbrella actually leaked and had a hard time with wind. This umbrella will be great to keep in the car or by the door but I am still on a search for a small, strong, lightweight travel umbrella.

I was surprised at the quality of this umbrella. It is actually what I expected for the price paid but I WAS worried that it would be of lower quality. The family (I bought 3) was VERY happy with them! Score for Mom!!

It is not wind resistant. It blows horribly and requires two hands at all times. It opens smoothly, but is almost impossible to close. Furthermore, when closing the umbrella, you must push it all the way back in (which requires two hands and a surface to press it against) in order to reopen. This product is extremely inconvenient. Additionally, it is not as small as described. It is large and bulky. Not pleased at all. Select different seller.

Ok I think Imight be in love with this umbrella. Definitely worth every penny. You push a button and it opens all the way for you. Push the same button and it releases so you can close it. It is very sturdy, very well made. I live in Chicago and definitely think it will hold up good on a rainy, windy day.

I’ve owned this umbrella for about a week and have used it three times. Every time I have used it it has reversed on me. One time it revered about 4 times on a short walk. I am a college student so I walk across campus with my laptop and it’s important that it doesn’t get wet, so if having an umbrella that doesn’t flip the wrong way is important to you, invest in a sturdier one. It wasn’t even that windy. Looks cute though.

I bought this because I walk to work. In the seattle area. So it’s RAINY. This has worked perfectly time and time again.

This umbrella folds in on itself, so it doesnt get you wet when you close it. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it is quite difficult to get it to close. Nevertheless, its a great umbrella.

My fault didn’t read description close enough-wasn’t expecting plastic.

OMG! this umbrella is not only functional but also beautiful! Top of that, the package box was super duper beautiful! I first thought if i purchased a slim expensive wine or something. thats how beautiful the package box was! I am thinking buying more for gifts for my family members !!!!!

I only gave it 1 star because I had to. When I open the umbrella it’s inverted so the rain collects in the canopy and gets me wet. When I close it using the automatic closer it closes the canopy but I have to stand in the rain to collapse the handle. I have a couple of umbrellas so I didn’t use this umbrella in time to send it back for a refund.
