Automatic Umbrella, GLODEALS Creative Oil Painting Automatic Folding Umbrella Anti UV Sunblock Umbrella Sun Protection Parasol Rain/Sun Umbrella for Ladies (Almond Blossom)

Love the design but not the structure of this umbrella. It is hard to open and close. It is not very sturdy and the handle is not comfortable. I gave it 3 stars because it does protect me from light rain. Even if I were to use it for more sun protection than rain, it still does not open and close easily.

I have used the umbrella about three times and so far I find it easy to use, to open it you press the up arrow to close it you press the down arrow and hold the handle with one hand and press from the top with the other hand. I just wish the umbrella was bigger to cover more. I gave four stars for sturdiness for the moment.

This has become my favorite means for sun protection. Single finger, open/closed button makes it easy to use when hands are full. Once in a while the button can get stuck but easy to get back into place. The only downside is this version is normal umbrella size, which is okay but I find that for the summer I may want something wider.

This umbrella is a game-changer. I bought it thinking Id be too embarrassed to use a parasol in public that it would be left unused in my closet. I was so wrong, this is a very beautiful parasol and it really has switched me from being lackadaisical about heading out into the sun to looking forward to sunny days so I can sport my parasol. Its definitely a fashion accessory and Ive gotten compliments from various women of all ages. I also love that I am getting adequate sun protection without having to wear sunscreen (I just dont like wearing it). The only reason I didnt give this five stars is because the connection between the handle and the shaft wobbles when faced with a mild breeze. It doesnt inhibit the parasols ability to maintain its shape but it does make me think twice about using the parasol when its breezy outside. I imagine if the model had slits in the design to allow for wind flow, this problem would be minimized.

Perfect for both sunny and rainy weather. I took this umbrella with me on a trip to China over the summer. Sometimes the temperature there lingered around 100 degrees and sunny.... This umbrella worked great for blocking the sun! Perfect for the occasional rainy day as well! Update: There was a windstorm and this little umbrella was completely destroyed. I dont blame the umbrella. I blame the wind, that being said I bought this same umbrella again and its still my favorite.

Im back to purchase my second Glodeals Almond Blossoms Van Gough print rain/sun umbrella. Have had compliments on how pretty it is and no sunburn while using it. I agree with another reviewer who found it difficult to close. Please read and study instructions in the description on how to open and close. It is opened and closed with the simple press of the up or down button on the handle. Once the canopy is down, (and the umbrella is partially closed,) I have to press the center of the top against a wall and then push the handle forward to completely close it. It is compact enough to carry in a tote bag or large purse. Now that I understand how to operate it I expect it last for years. It works very well for rain too.

I bought this umbrella as I needed a lightweight travel version mostly for sun protection. I wanted something I could keep at the office or carry in my bag as I walk around town or to/from work. It doesnt offer that much sun protection. I can feel the sun rays penetrating through and it doesnt feel cooler under it at all (unlike my Sun Tek golf umbrella). This may work well for light rain, but any gust of wind will tug on the umbrella. The seller did reach out to me and provided an option for a refund because this didnt meet my expectations which was more than generous. In my view, theyre up front about their product and its not their fault Im highly sun sensitive and was looking for something more. It has a great pattern, and is small and portable, so it depends on your intended use.

I purchased 2 of Glodeals Van Gogh Masterpiece Oil Painting Auto-open & mostly easy-enough to close parasol / umbrella. Both of them popped open forcefully, so, be careful that you dont stand too close to anyone when opening them, since they could be used unintentionally as a weapon! That aside, the artwork is quite nice. All I really cared about was making sure that it/they were strong enough to withstand wind (Ill be on any island); lightweight enough (Ill be using one or the other as a parasol), and...I hesitate to call it a parasol style-wise, though, it says it offers UV-protection, and, since it will provide shade, it technically blocks the sun, anyway. So long as it hold out (Im keeping one aside to use as an umbrella, when back on the mainland).

This is a Wonderful Umbrella with 100% UV Protection. Great Value Pricewise, and Absolutely Beautiful! Everyone who views my Umbrella wants one and women scold themselves for not bringing one with them with them to all Events. I gave it a 4 Star Rating because it is not comfortable in a crowded venue as it is a Large Umbrella, and most importantly to me, not easy to get open and closed easily. Please understand, it is very Off Balanced in my hands, as I have had the Carpal Tunnel Surgery, but, still cannot balance this Umbrella well. I am now trying to find the same quality and attractiveness in a smaller Umbrella. I truly hope this helps yall in making a decision? So glad I have this Umbrella, while Im searching for another one! P. S. I am so Greatful to own this Umbrella!

I thought this was a lovely umbrella.
