The umbrella wasn’t usable because of a bend in the mechanism that prevented it from opening all the way and staying open. Will have to return.

It seemed like a lovely umbrella. But the shaft snapped on the second use, not one of the outer ribs that are usually the fragile spot on umbrellas, the shaft/handle. Very disappointing. And one day past the return window.

Didn’t even have this for a month. The first opportunity I had to use it in CA weather, and it broke! Now CA had heavy rain, however the rain had nothing to do with the sturdiness of just opening the umbrella
