Galleria Enterprises Water Lilies Folding Umbrella Blue

What drew me to this umbrella immediately was the gorgeous painting on it. But it turned out to also be a surprisingly durable umbrella. Ive had compact collapsible umbrellas before that couldnt withstand any degree of wind. This one manages to stay intact in the face of pretty strong wind while also collapsing to be just 12 inches long--very portable. The pop-out, pop-in button is pretty cool, too. The one thing I dont like is how hard you have to push to collapse the umbrella all the way back in. Its definitely doable, but its more effort than would be ideal.

Bought this beautiful umbrella as a gift for my Mom--she loves anything with Monets water lilies on it. The very first time she pressed the button to open it, it shot out like a flash, and the umbrella did not open properly. UPon close inspection, I could see the plastic piece at the top that the strings go into was slightly broken and the umbrella cannot be used. Quality control missed this one. Sadly, she was so hurt, but didnt want to hurt my feelings, that she didnt tell me right away, so were stuck with a brand new, but broken, umbrella. :( Check your umbrella, or if you give as a gift, ensure your recipient lets you know if theres a problem. Its beautiful--Im so sad. Ive bought other umbrellas from Galleria, but the opening mechanism is a little different--never had this problem.

I love these umbrellas. I bought several different Galleria umbrellas. They were delivered on time and in perfect condition. They are easy to use. It is a little strange to hit the button to close the umbrella but it works. Nice umbrellas

Had previously purchased this umbrella at the art museum in Boston five or six years ago. Was my favorite...until the wind caught it recently and snapped a few of the ribs. Was so happy to find the exact replacement! Will watch the wind in the future.

This umbrella is beautiful, works very well (even on windy days) and opens quickly with the press of a button. Closing not quite as effortless, but certainly not difficult (I expected it to retract to small size-but you must do this by hand). Not a flaw, just not what I expected. All in all it adds a bit of fun to otherwise gloomy days and seems to be well made.

I loved the look of the umbrella and was very excited when it came. First puff of wind and it broke. I have bought much cheaper ones and they held up for years so I was very disappointed.

This umbrella is beautiful! However, on windy days it flips in side out. Since it opens with a spring like action it flips back easily and does still work. I would not use it on a really windy day again!

I use this as a summer parasol. Used it at the state fair to keep the sun off and I got many compliments from strangers.even a young man in his twenties -- thats saying something.

My wife loves this umbrella. She originally bought one at a wine festival. That one broke in a wind storm so I got this one as a replacement. So far so good.
