Looks awesome, but now that I have a umbrella there is no rain. Won't really know until it rains. Thank you. Just by looking at it I'm doing the five stars.

Good value and it looks great.
The only problem I had with it was the black cover. The pointy part of the umbrella when closed is actually a screw.
It does not look like a screw and there are no indications it would be one. I thought it was a snap on or something.
It was hard to unscrew and I damaged the black cover.
So remember, the silver cap in the center is actually a screw. You cannot grip it very well, try with rubber gloves.
Who would think that an umbrella needs instructions.

Good luck and enjoy!

It's been a a few months since I purchased this and it's put away for the season right now.  Months later, it held up great and still looks fantastic.  It's a decent sized umbrella and doesn't look cheap, which was important to me.  The only negative about it would be that it's hard to open.  You have to have a lot of strength to hold it up there with one hand, and then take the metal stick and insert it into the slot with the other.

Looks awesome if your going to have it close to pool or sprinklers use a polyurethane to coat it or they will lose their finish.

I have already gotten compliments on this beautiful, large umbrella.  The color is sensational and exactly as promised.  It adds a richness to my back deck and is so inviting-looking.  Highly recommend it.

Looks great.  Sturdy for an umbrella, while adding another small table.

We were looking for something to spruce up our backyard by our pool. I bought this umbrella  and was a little nervous, as I live in Florida and we have strong winds and storms that come out of nowhere. To be honest...,,I know I should put my umbrella down every day but I just don't. I can't tell you how beautiful this looks in my backyard and how many storms and strong winds that this has weathered. I absolutely would recommend this to anyone. This is a great umbrella and a great addition to anyone's backyard.

Attractive umbrella and I love the huge range of colors available.  Seems very sturdy.  Bit hard to close, but many umbrellas have little quirks.  My concern off-the-bat is it's heavy--probably literally double the weight of one it's replacing. Might be OK for luggage, but overall too big (length & girth) & heavy to be a small- to mid-sized purse item (my priority now).  Admittedly, my original wasn't going to last a lifetime, but it'd served me very well for 6-8 years.  This may be the deal breaker for me.  If I keep it, I may have to wait until Nov. to test it in actual rain (we live in Northern Cal.)  to compare with other claims regarding wind.

Have not had a chance to test it out yet but the umbrella looks strong and sturdy. Can't wait for the next rainy day :-)

I love umbrellas and this is an awesome umbrella. First, I am a sucker for good packaging and this umbrella has it. It came in a beautiful and sturdy round tube and surely can be reused for something else. The gray on this umbrella more closely resembles charcoal or a dark gray.  Its 3 handle is tall enough to fit most palms and round with indentions to help with grip making it comfortable to hold. From the bottom of the handle to the top spring of the umbrella is about 18, which is ok.  The umbrellas overall size is compact enough to keep in your purse of bag in case of unexpected rain, but I wouldnt want to use this umbrella if you plan on being outside all day since your arm will likely get tired from holding the umbrella above your head. Day-to-day use, its perfect. I haven't had much wind yet to really comment on its ability and will update as needed, but I suspect the vents will help in that regard.

I received this item at a discounted rate for my honest review.

I got this a day late and it was not an issue on the company's part but rather my new mail man.  *le sigh*

The umbrella comes tidily packed with a sleeve to keep it in after use. Once I took it out it took me a moment to figure out how to use it until I noticed the button on the handle. One press and the umbrella pops open and let me tell you it POPS. It scared the dickens out of me the first time I popped it open!

Getting it back in was a little trickier, I felt like I was going to break it but we'll see how it holds up. It's pouring here this weekend, so this will definitely come in handy. :}

It's early yet, I haven't put it up and it tlooks like I won't but the material, craftsmanship and hardware look real good. I haven't erected the shade sail because when I look online the videos show three inch metal pipes sunk three feet into the ground at each corner and that's beyond my capability. Anybody want a really nice green triangle?

This umbrella is pretty awesome. I love looking at it each time I open it. It's not automatic but it opens quite easily. I would definitely recommend this :)

I am much happier with this umbrella than my previous ShedRain.  It is absolutely huge, the handle looks classy, and it seems well made.  Rain barely touches me underneath this beast.  A great umbrella!

A really pretty umbrella, however the thing that sits on the top in the middle - I am sure it has a name- fell out after a few uses,  can still use it but it does not look as nice. It is easy to operate and a good sizw.

The umbrella seemed to be well built the vents worked well during the snow storm we just had in NYC the vents did a good job in letting air flow through keeping the umbrella from flipping inside out .I have no got a chance to use it in the rain as of yet because now it will not open only used it once I had high hopes for this umbrella .I no it's just a umbrella but I'm tired of keep buying umbrellas that don't last .So I thought I would spend a little more and see what happens .It supposed to be a life time warranty .Ive contacted the seller .I will update to let u no what happens.  This is a update I contacted Life tek they were quick to respond to fix the situation .Their customer service is great
