> 24 hourI ordered the teal colored one before a Christmas present for someone who loves that color. When I first unwrapped it and saw the cover that it comes in I was excited because the color was gorgeous. But then when I pulled the umbrella out it was not that teal color, it was light blue. Too close to Christmas to return it & get another now.☹️ Cant speak to the quality yet because I dont want to open it and mess up those nice folds before I give it as a gift. Update!: I decided to go ahead and open the umbrella before I gift wrapped it, and so glad I did! Its awful. I will add a pic soon that shows how it opened with half of it flipped/cupped up. Its supposed to pop open to the dome shape but the joints that allow the umbrella to fold dont flip well and remain bent midway so that it looks like a big bowl on top. You have to manually flip the edges down all the way around. Also the handle & shaft are cheaply made, not sturdy. I dont mind it not being an auto pop up, but that you have to manipulate it more after you extend it out, plus the low quality construction made it a deal breaker So glad I checked it before giving it as a gift, that would have been so embarrassing. Left one star up because once you finish manhandling it in place it will function as an umbrella, just not a great or easy one.

> 24 hourI love the color and the size are good. But whenever I used it, I have to use force to open it. The button to open the umbrella is not working well.

> 24 hourSo far the umbrella is, well, an umbrella. But holy cow is it short! Lol. I think this is meant for children not adults. Does what is supposed to though. Keeps the rain off your head and back. Off i had a backpack, though, it would be a different story. Haha.

> 24 hourIt’s a little tricky closing it. But then that’s probably because I’m trying to hurry up and shut it and rain is hitting me. It’s been through rain and some strong winds. It’s still functioning and hasn’t turned inside out on me. But now that I just said this, I’m sure it will. If you need or want to stay dry then this would be the item.

> 24 hourIts lightweight and seems well made I havent used it in the rain yet so I cant speak on that. Im not crazy about the velcro strap to keep it shut its way too wide.
