I purchased this umbrella for its classic look. The umbrella is nice and solid. It's large enough to protect your front and back. It's easy to open and close. The handle is larger than I thought, but I have small hands. It also has a lifetime warranty.

Nice size, nicely made and very attractive.

Well -constructed- excellent classic umbrella design. Handsome plaid design and easy open/close.

Nice size and keeps the rain away from you, great umbrella

I really like this umbrella. It is a full sized umbrella with a solid wooden handle. I feels very durable and holds up against strong winds. It opens very easily with the push of a button. It takes some effort to close it, but I don't mind that so much if that's the compromise for a strong and fast opening. I live in a city and walk to work. This is great for rainy days. Would not be very practical to take in a car due to the size.

I use this mostly for smoke breaks in the rain, it does the job well. Provided you don't let the wind, the quality is sturdy enough for the price.

Been getting a lot of comments about how nice this umbrella looks. It also does a great job at keeping the water away from you. Very large and me and my fiancée could both walk together underneath it. When putting it away, a good shake gets most of the water off!

Good size and sturdy for rainy weather

Love how roomy this umbrella is. I use it a lot when walking my dogs and unless the rain is coming down sideways it does a great job keeping me dry. It has a button to automatically open the umbrella, feels substantial in my hand, is easy to use and looks nice. I prefer this style of umbrella instead of the usually inadequate coverage of a collapsible umbrella. And I love this blue color. They actually sent me a black umbrella first - I already have a black umbrella and wanted the blue. They sent out the blue one right away and told me to keep the black one. It will be donated to a woman’s shelter.

I'm not a fan of the little collapsible umbrellas, I prefer the traditional full size long handle type and this one is exactly what I wanted. It looks good, feels good in your hand, seems fairly durable, and was reasonably priced. I keep it behind the seat in my truck so it's always ready when needed.
