Honeystore Princess Lace Ultraviolet-Proof Folding Umbrella Anti-uv Dome Parasol

This is cheap. It is not user friendly and if you want a parasol do not buy. If you want a lace trimmed umbrella is is okay. I can get one this quality at the dollar store and glue on lace. I do not understand the good ratings. this is a wish type deal. Yeah you wish you had gotten the good quality one described. I rarely give a bad review. But this deserves worse. So sad...

First off, the overall aesthetic of this parasol is 100% on point. I was so excited to receive it and to use it to help me survive the scorching Southern summer heart. Unfortunately, the umbrella broke the first time I used it. Now that summer is around the corner again, Im sadly back on the hunt for a quality parasol.

It can be used as both an umbrella and parasol, and its so pretty. It held up in a huge downpour and protects me in the Florida summer. Id recommend getting a lighter color since dark ones attract the suns heat. I did have a problem with the handle falling off but I exchanged it for a new one and havent had any more problems. Florida can change from sunny heat to torrential downpour multiple times per day, so I never leave the house without my parasol umbrella. Its so convenient and absolutely beautiful!

I had a few instances where it began to rain and i was very worried the wind was going to break the umbrella. I worry the rain will ruin and mold the lace, but it hasnt yet. I wish the handle was a little more erganimic and that the stem was longer. Its not too sturdy. Its cute but feels somewhat fragile. I was unsure if i even opened it all the way the first time i got it! You have to push it open pretty firmly to make the material stretch out. I thought i was going to rip it!

Its big! Still wouldnt recommend for two people, unless they are both quite small. And the umbrella looks just like the picture. Blocks the sun and UV rays very well. Holds up against water just fine. The first time you open will be difficult, and youll worry that youre going to break it. Basically, you have to snap each leg of the umbrella DOWN, and then manually pull up to open the umbrella. The first snaps will be tough, but after that, each leg will go down easily.

On a functionality basis, this is perfect. I get light-sensitive migraines and sometimes blocking the sun from my eyes for even ten feet between car and building is very important. It is deep enough to help much more than traditional umbrellas, which Ive used as better than a hand or nothing at all. Four stars instead of five because its not as easy to fold up and put away as it should be. This is my second UV blocking parasol; the other looks very similar and unfolds the same way(if a bit more smoothly), but it folds back up, too. This one I have to flip upside-down to manually fold, and the containing strap is placed badly so it ends up too near the handle if I dont very deliberately adjust that particular fold. All of which has left this tossed in a crumpled heap more often than not as Id likely break it when in migraine-induced short-temperedness. As a backup parasol, its fine. If I hadnt bought it as a backup Id probably be looking around for a different one that isnt so annoying to get closed at a time when Im really not up for fussiness.

Was excited to receive this but disheartened to see that the handle had a chip in it.

Most fantastic product! I purchased this to compliment a steam punk costume during a rainy Con. Not only is the umbrella gorgeous, it handled the torrential rain fall wonderfully AND came with an unexpected bonus lace carry bag that I integrated into other costumes. Highly recommend this product, and I may purchase a second for daily work wear use

Blocked the sun very well. I have a sun allergy and this was excellent to nap under and walk around with. I used it for a week long camping trip and was constantly opening and closing it. The structure is sound, but the ball handle at the end fell off the first day. The actual umbrella structure was very sturdy and i recieved compliments on its beauty everyday. Would purchase again.

It’s been working really well for me, though one of the thin metal wire parts did break off it hasn’t impacted the function of the umbrella, but the end gets stuck in my hair sometimes.
