Just got this yesterday and only opened it up. Seems very sturdy and well made. The first rain and wind storm will tell the truth. Nice and big!

Large and strong with a poly post and handle. Very nice and big!

Love my new umbrella

This umbrella is very nice and quite sturdy, it is big when fully up and open, it gives alot of coverage, you can definitely fit it in the side pocket of your backpack. This umbrella is great quality and I will be getting good use out of it for sure, its great.

sturdy, cololrful, well made

Ive gotten so many compliments on this umbrella. I havent had any issues with it and it definitely feels sturdy. The colors are bright and does wonders to brighten up a dreary, rainy day.

Having been disappointed by a previous umbrella through The Vine program, I decided to try again. And fortunately, it rained just a few days later. This one has a good area of coverage, yet folds up easily. The one button open and close is a nice feature. Although the button collapses the umbrella, you still have to push down the stem, and my wife thinks it is a little hard to push it down. I think it works pretty well. The durability seems good. My last one broke a metal support arm on the cover when the wind picked up, and I was not happy, as it was not anywhere near a really heavy wind. So far, this one is a keeper.

With this umbrella you press the button to open and press the button to collapse the ribs and then press down on the top of the umbrella with the palm of your hand while holding the handle with your other hand. Press together until you hear a click. The fabric holds around the umbrella easily and the strap has plenty of length to wrap around to secure the fabric. The cover goes on well by twisting. This is a very nice umbrella with wind flaps to help keep it from turning inside out when it is windy. The fabric is on the thicker side and the umbrella is constructed well. The handle is comfortable to hold and has a wrist strap for easy carry when not in use.

the order was for 2 these umbrellas but only got one

Was a rainy day and used this right away when I got it. Its a very well made, sturdy umbrella, not like the flimsy ones people sell on street corners here in NYC. This one has two layers of overlapping fabric and sturdy spines that help protect the umbrella from turning inside out in the wind. Its a bit heavier than the more flimsy umbrellas, but worth it for the extra coverage (the canopy affords a bit more coverage than most portable umbrellas) and the fact that it feels sturdy and stable in your hands. Probably the best portable umbrella Ive ever owned.
