> 3 dayI bought this to make shade on a hot day for an outdoor birthday party. It worked. But the mechanism is really cheap and it will not last on a blustery day. Spend the money and buy something more durable.

Greater than one weekThis is a nice umbrella for the price. I loved having a selection of color to choose from. Ive used it a few times and one day was windy and I had no problems. Im happy with my purchase.

> 3 dayUsually when I think of a pocket umbrella, I think of something that is short enough to even be stuffed inside a purse, but this umbrella is bigger than that. This one is about twice the length of a normal pocket umbrella. Kinda sucks when the whole point of buying a smaller umbrella is so that I can stash it away easier. It works fine, though and it was pretty cheap so it wasnt all bad.

> 3 dayIt’s a small cheap umbrella. The water runs off it just fine. The frame of it seems sturdy enough so far. I have yet to see how it reacts to high winds. The burgundy color I picked looks pretty to me. Couple things to note: The bare uncoated metal points around the edges get stuck in the handle sometimes. Be careful when closing it or else it will get stuck and won’t pop out right. And in the meantime, as you struggle, you may be wet. The trigger to open the umbrella is very stiff and hard to push. More so than any other umbrella I have previously owned. This is the part I dislike the most. I’m not sure if it’s just mine, or if all of them are like this. It is a hard round little button and you need a big strong thumb or two thumbs to push it hard enough to get it to pop open. In the meantime, as you struggle, you will be wet. Other than that, I guess it’s fine. It’s certainly not the best umbrella ever and I don’t love it but it will suffice for now. I will be sure to choose a different one next time.

> 3 dayNothing special but it’s durable and keeps me dry! I ordered yellow and it’s the perfect color. Easy to pop open and store on the go

> 3 dayThe release button is way too hard to push. I bought this for my 7 year old & I can’t even get the button to press down with both thumbs.

Greater than one weekI loved the variety of colors available. This umbrella is super well made and fairly large. The price was too good to pass up.....Will be buying more in other colors in the future.

> 3 dayIt is pretty cheap construction and I have doubts it would last through more than a couple of rain showers here in South Florida, depending on the wind. but I grew up in NYC where when it rained unexpectedly, you just bought an umbrella from one of the corner umbrella guys and if you made it high and dry to the building you were walking to, you got your moneys worth. I keep this kind of umbrella in my car for such infrequent events here in South Florida, where hard rains usually come and go in 10 minutes, and the umbrellas usually last me about 2 years, depending upon what squalls I find myself in. So Id recommend this in the same circumstances, but if you are in an area with more rain or wind, Id buy a better product. The button to open the umbrella is also a little hard to press to get it open. I wouldnt give this to anyone for a gift.
