It came just as expected!! Colors are beautiful!! Used it for a rainbow baby maternity shoot!!!

Perfect

Nice bright colors so my kids can see me even on dark and grey days. Big enough to fit myself and one of my kids under.

Very pleased

First impressions when I first opened the packaging was this is going to be a good purchase. And it is, well, sort of. Basically two issues make this an just okay purchase. And for an umbrella, how can you screw one up? Well, the first thing is a trigger activates a very strong spring loaded piston or something and when it opens after you press that trigger, and it does take a bit of force to press that trigger, the umbrella fires open like its been shot out of a cannon. Anybody in its way is going to take a hit. So you want to be careful you dont point this at something or someone when opening it. Maybe it calms down after a few uses, I should hope so. The second issue is closing the umbrella. Its hard to do. That same spring makes it difficult enough you have no choice but to follow the instructions and this is where whomever designed this umbrella using such a strong spring is nuts. The instructions say to close the umbrella to first press the button trigger, the same one that opens the umbrella. Then grab the top ring of the umbrella, and no not the inside ring, but the outer one or atthe very top of the umbrella. And then you press the umbrella down till you hear a click and the umbrella will stay closed. Well, guess what? Most of us use the umbrella when its been raining. And to that end the top of the umbrella is wet of course. So closing the umbrella means using your whole arm to force the umbrella back into its closed position which leaves your arm wet. Its just plain stupid that you cant use the inside ring to pull the umbrella closed to lock it back in the closed position. If it wasnt for the last issue Id give the umbrella a good four or five stars. BTW, when the umbrella is opened its very taut and easily pulls and tugs if the wind is blowing; something else you want to watch out for when using this umbrella. Like I said, its an okay purchase but Id shoot for something better.

I love the colors and how its sturdy

Perfect for heavy rainy days or nights. Please be advised this is a spring loaded umbrella. Therefore, keep it pointed away from your body upon opening. This is a well constructed umbrella with automatic open and close button capabilities. In addition, the design is compact, lightweight and small enough to be able to fit inside my laptop briefcase. Tested for durability: my husband has a huge workshop Vornado fan and the ribbed frame did not buckle (even under the highest setting). Tip: when you close it make sure you hear a click to ensure proper closure.

Beautiful umbrella. I paid for the 2-pack, but only got 1. Sent them an email that same day and got a well you need to talk to Amazon customer service since they packed and shipped it response. Wow! I wont buy from them again. *Also the prime shipping took 5 days...

This is an amazingly sturdy, well made umbrella and it’s definitely large enough to keep 2 adults dry—it’s 42” wide when opened. I’m glad I glanced at the Safety Warning before I opened it. It correctly states that the umbrella is spring loaded and opens very quickly AND (probably most importantly), you should allow at least 3 feet of space in front and on both sides of you. Honestly, you could nearly knock a small person off their feet if you hit them with it. It has a button to assist in closing the umbrella too. That helps to collapse the canopy of the umbrella, but getting the umbrella back to its original size does take some upper body strength. I found that it’s easier if you put the tip of the umbrella on the ground, then gently push down until it clicks into place. Of course the umbrella has a nice little pouch. It’s not super compact and it’s not super light, but it IS an excellent umbrella, especially since it’s designed to withstand heavy rain and wind. Overall, an excellent umbrella.

This fits perfect for my 6th doctor who cosplay. Very sturdy and well made.
