This is a very compact umbrella (10 inches folded up) and is a perfect shelter from the rain or the sun. Made from nylon, its a little flimsy and won’t hold up to a gale wind. It collapses into a small enough package to keep under a seat in a car or cubby hole in the car for emergencies. The canopy is 40 inches when open.

Super beautiful umbrella!! Unfortunately when i was unboxing it i slit straight through the outer sheath holder. Luckily i didnt puncture the umbrella itself! the umbrella isnt automatic. i got spoiled with a push button opener, so I was confused with how to open this one at first. ROFL - you just push it open. The sunflower is GORGEOUS!!

This is my second one purchased. The first one Ive had for years and have even used as a prop at flower shows. Now I have an extra in the car.

I love sunflowers! Ive not had higher winds to test this in yet, but I can tell you that it is way sturdier than the umbrella I picked up at my big box pharmacy for the same price last year. Material is thicker, ribbing is better connected, and when open, there arent any loose parts causing wobbliness if that makes sense. Cute, study and will keep me dry!

So vivid and cheerful makes you want it to rain. I love the edges are more petal shaped and not just typical umbrella edge. Havent used it yet but it seems well made

I love how the umbrella opens to look like a large sunflower. Also I was able to fully open it, and then close it and get it back into the storage sheath that it comes with. Sometimes you can never get the umbrella back in the bag, but this one works. The mechanism opens smoothly and locks into place, and then releases to fold the umbrella. Even my 10 year old could work it without help. It folds up and takes up very little space when not in use. I think it will also be fun as a parasol in the summer.

The design is beautiful, but this umbrella is regular size. I have to push it up and open it unlike my other umbrella where I can press a button. The UV protection on the underside is a plus and will be useful when Im walking on a sunny day.

I must confess I ordered this umbrella because it looked cute. In person it is even cuter than the picture. The colors are bright and very appealing. It is small enough and light enough I plan on carrying it with me in my purse. I was pleasantly surprised to find it much sturdier than I thought. The mechanism telescopes out and sets firmly. The fabric of the umbrella is thicker than some I have had. It retracted down relatively easily and I was even able to fit it back in its case, although that was a tight fit. Probably I will not use that very much. This arrived after our most recent rain so I havent put it to a real world test but I am sure it will do well with a normal downpour. It states that it is windproof, so I will have to update how it handles that when it goes through windy conditions.

Crummy! Broke the third time we used it and none of the day were windy. Plus, now there are no options to return it. Blech!

Really beautiful umbrella, I get lots of compliments on it! Please note that it is not wind proof though. It isnt the sturdiest umbrella but it is super compact and works great for PNW weather.
