Compact size is great, colors are beautiful. Takes a little bit of time to figure out the opening and closing - but cool how it works opposite of regular umbrella. Good purchase. Fast delivery.

I already have a larger umbrella like this but wanted a more compact one to carry around with my books to my university classes. This one is perfect because I can now close the umbrella without getting water all over the floor! Its also slightly bigger (41 inches across) than the standard sized (37 inches across) one I have, so it completely covers my backpack and also prevents it from getting wet. I also had a problem with the product the first time I ordered it, but I received prompt and friendly service from the provider, and they sent me a replacement for free! Amazing umbrella and company!

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.

It does not open properly you have to pull each rib down. I have only used it 3 times and there are small holes in it. *Update* after I left my review the company promptly contacted me in offered me a replacement they said that there was an issue with a production run that they were aware of and apologize for me being one of the customers to receive one of the defective umbrellas,they sent me a new umbrella and everything works perfectly. I would buy from them again just based on their customer service!

Almost every time I opened this umbrella it opened concave rather than convex (bowl versus dome). I bought two of these in different styles and was fighting with them every time we opened them. I had to try to flip the braces and when you got one side flipped the other side would flip back. It was maddening. I finally just threw them both away. Unless they do something to change the design of these where they will open properly, I would never buy this item again. I was too irritated to take photos to show what happened but wish that I had.

Most of the time when I open it, it doesnt opens almost inside out. After a few tries itll open right. But when its open the right way it keeps the rain off me and the design looks cool

Material is of good quality. Third time that I used it the push button to open the umbrella failed to work. I have to open the umbrella manually.

Sometimes when I open it, the outer edges flip up and it takes a minute to get the umbrella to open up correctly.

Umbrella beautiful in color and sturdiness. A little difficult in closing but otherwise very nice.

The umbrella is beautiful but it is defective. Every time I open it, it is flipped inside out. The worst part about the umbrella is that you have to manually flip it back down. Even when I try to shake it it still stay flipped up. It is impossible to use. Not a great buy at all.
