These umbrellas are great!  I have given several to friends for gifts.  The umbrella is a nice size, and this case is snazzy!

I have bought two for presents and they are so nicely constructed and work great.  I was told by a friend who buys them all the time for showers and baptismal presents

I bought this for a friend for Christmas for a friend and she said it was almost too beautiful to use. She loved the vintage look if the umbrella!

I am super impressed with how nice this umbrella is! I have a habit of buying inexpensive umbrellas and they just fall apart or flat out don't work! This one is a win-win! Its inexpensive and REALLY NICE and works! The handle is smooth and easy to grip and the umbrella fabric is high quality. I would definitely recommend this to others plus I would probably buy as a gift!

These umbrellas arrived very fast.  I had purchased some over-sized umbrellas previously only about a month prior to buying these.  The ones I purchased previously only lasted a couple of weeks so I did the research and found these which have repeatedly been put to the endurance test.  The quality of these are truly outstanding!  These are large enough to cover several people at once or they can also cover you and your shopping cart at the grocery store or department store keeping all your items dry until you load them in your vehicle.  I'm fairly certain that these will last a long time!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these umbrellas!  I bought four to have at an event.  They stand so nicely and create a nice atmosphere.  I can't wait to use them at the beach for my potluck next month.  I know the wind will not keep them in place so I will take something to hold them down or I will place them in the sand without the tri-pod.  I do events a lot and these are really feminine pink and cute.  My guests were very impressed.  Christine F.

I usually buy cheap umbrellas but they break so easily.  I figured it probably would cost the same to buy one more expensive, but also more durable umbrella than to buy multiple cheap ones that keep breaking.  Then I saw this one and was able to get it at a discount in exchange for my review. Perfect! I couldn't wait to try it.  It arrived a while ago but I waited to give a review until I could really test it out. It's nice and small so you can toss it in your tote bag or purse so you always have it in case you get some unexpected rain.  The weather here can be beautiful one minute and then snowing or raining the next! It's not super heavy, but you can tell it's not cheap....about 10 ounces.  It does come with a sleeve like many umbrellas do, but I can never get them back in. I can only put it on half way before I can't get it on anymore. But it doesn't matter. I don't need it.  The top of the umbrella has a loop so you can carry it easily.  To open, all you do is push a button! Yes, I know other umbrellas do that, too, but this one will actually CLOSE with the push of that same button! That's very hard to find! Just make sure no one is around when you open it, as it has quite the force when it opens so you don't want anyone to get hurt. When you press the button again to close, it immediately closes and then you have to push it back into place.  That may take a little more force than you would think. So push hard on both ends to close it together. There is actually a picture in the listing showing you how to open and close the umbrella. Not that you need a picture, but just so you know what I mean about it being a little hard to put the ends together.
I've had to use this umbrella when it was windy as well as rainy and it held up! I know that other umbrellas I have had in the past would have definitely broken.
In summary, this is a nice compact umbrella so it is great for travel, but also does the job! It is strong and hasn't broken like those cheaper ones. Like I mentioned earlier, I was able to get this at a discounted price in exchange for my review, but it really is worth the money.  You will pay that much having to buy so many of those cheaper ones every time they break. If you found this review helpful, I would appreciate it if you hit the "yes" that it was helpful button. I try to give as much information as I can, since I rely on reviews in making purchases, too.

I bought two sets of these for myself. I liked them so much I have given them to six of my friends and family for Christmas. Everyone loved them! I have a set on hand for the next time I need a gift for someone. They are cheerful, practical and convenient.  I keep several in my purse so I always have bags when I pop into a store. Great product that is fun to use and to give as a gift.

For the price, these umbrellas are amazing. They don't tilt, they are made of wood, and the up/down is a little different. BUT, they don't feel or look cheap, the cloth material is on par with the (much) more expensive models. I'd recommend these to anyone

I have bought three of these umbrella's as the first was either mislaid or taken.  The second order was for two, and I have put one away because my husband says "good umbrellas disappear like a used matchstick".  This umbrella is well made with heavy ribs that will not bend in a strong wind and the open/close feature works well.  It has a heavier weight than some travel umbrellas, but this is due to better materials in construction.  I have no hesitation in recomending this umbrella.  I purchased it after researching Briggs umbrellas and some of the most expensive umbrellas on the market as a Christmas gift for my husband who wanted a open/close umbrella, but never bought one for himself.  He was downhearted when it was gone, but I immediately ordered two more.  Prompt delivery was a plus in wet weather!  An extra never hurts!

These are great! I gave them to a friend for a hostess gift, and gave a pack to myself while I was at it!

I thought my pink umbrella parasol was so beautiful! It definitely exceeded my expectations, which inspired me to write this review. The material of the umbrella is high quality. The pink is light, but not too light. I bought it as a gift for my mother, and she loves it! This umbrella seems very durable. She uses it as a parasol, and it's even large enough to cover 3 people! I think it would be a great item to use for the rain as well :) It really is a great umbrella. I want to buy myself the strawberries and cream umbrella. I think it would be fun and beautiful :)
