Almost every time I opened this umbrella it opened concave rather than convex (bowl versus dome). I bought two of these in different styles and was fighting with them every time we opened them. I had to try to flip the braces and when you got one side flipped the other side would flip back. It was maddening. I finally just threw them both away. Unless they do something to change the design of these where they will open properly, I would never buy this item again. I was too irritated to take photos to show what happened but wish that I had.

Love the black umbrella with blue sky and clouds on the underside. Auto open works well, but the auto close is awful. It collapses the spokes but then I have to push down on a hard surface to collapse the shaft so I can close and wrap the Velcro closure around it. This is the second inverted umbrella I have recently bought and I am unhappy with both. Going back to traditional umbrellas.

Sometimes when I open it, the outer edges flip up and it takes a minute to get the umbrella to open up correctly.

Hard to close

The umbrella is beautiful but it is defective. Every time I open it, it is flipped inside out. The worst part about the umbrella is that you have to manually flip it back down. Even when I try to shake it it still stay flipped up. It is impossible to use. Not a great buy at all.

It too small

Seems a little thin, but so far, its held up.

Not as shown in the picture. Both sides of the umbrella are red. Supposed to be black on the bottom.

Fast shipping, good product

I really like this umbrella, but it is difficult to close after the automated part and trying to get it small enough for the closure strap around it is close to impossible. It is really hard to squeeze it and thats with using my body and arms to squeeze it.
