ShedRain Ecoverse Automatic Open And Close Compact Umbrella,Root Green,One Size

This is one of those umbrellas that tried to be everything, and instead was nothing. For instance, it's small...but still too big to fit in a mid-size purse and decently heavy that you wouldn't want to carry it around all day. It's stronger than the cheap quality drugstore umbrellas, but I've had it collapse on me twice when using it in a rainstorm with heavier winds. And due to the push button release, it's not quick in getting it back open: you have to completely fold it back up again and depress the button to get the canopy open again. Meanwhile, I'm getting soaked. Overall, I think the quality is good and will probably last much longer than the typical small umbrella, but that's not enough to have me purchase it again. I guess my search continues for a compact, strong umbrella.

So far I love it. It’s not THE nicest, but for price and the recycled materials aspect, I love it. The shade is great too!- I did have it blow inside out, but it switched over easy.- It is a bit of a struggle to push the handle back in.+ The sleeve it comes with is easy to slide on and off, without being loose.

Very durable and easy to open, but very hard to close, especially one-handed. Often had to stop what I was doing, try to get out of the rain and then wrestle with it to get it closed.

One of the plastic parts of my umbrella also broke after only a short time of use. The umbrella is still usable with a little bit of effort, though, and no other parts have broken yet.

Well, I thought it was supposed to not turn inside out... but it did. All the time. I used it for about a year and a half before all at once, 3 of the little plastic dealios broke, rendering it useless. I'm not sure when those things broke. One morning, I went went out on the porch to close it up and bring it in (left it out to dry), and when it folded up, it did so with all its little legs going everywhere. That's when I saw it had so many breaks. Maybe it happened when it flipped inside out so many times? Beats me.

Top quality umbrella. Nice color. Better than the pictures show. Handle from real bamboo. If it is wind proof as indicated is a perfect choice.

This umbrella looks to be well made. However, it immediately started blowing inside out with even the slightest hint of wind. In a very windy storm, one of the hinges broke because it blew inside out so hard. I would never buy this umbrella again. It's overpriced considering that $10 ones from Walgreens work better than this.

Quality build, Easy open, easy close. Nuff said.

Very sturdy on the top, but wobbly on the handle. Very easy to open, but hard to close. I would recommend it, but can't guarantee it's the best.
