I love the sakura printing on the umbrella. Just one thing I was disappointed is the weight. It’s a little bit heavy to carry. All of the old ones I had were much lighter.I love it. It is so pretty. It makes me feel happy when it rains and it rains a lot here.Feels vary sturdy and I can’t wait to use itFlimsy and too small. Very difficult to open and close.I didn’t think I should TEST an umbrella before using it! My advice is now to do so upon purchase! I got stuck in the rain without being able to open this umbrella. Purchased new. I tried to use when leaving work and we had a sudden downpour. I stood on the brink of the overhang without being able to get this umbrella opened, and subsequently got drenched on the way to my car with a very closed umbrella. I had my boyfriend try to open it, to which he struggled and said there is no way anyone would be able to open this umbrella! Just horrible! Once he got it to actually open, with a lot of time and effort, we are talking minutes ticking by, NOT seconds, it would not close!!! Useless! But, since I purchased it on July 31, and had it without use, being September when I try it, it has passed since I can return this piece of inadequate junk! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR EFFORT!!! It is a heavy umbrella which I was willing to overlook if it WORKED! No good to me now, a new umbrella you cannot get opened! It just doesn’t make any sense why it won’t open!! tsk tskAs others have said, it's a little tricky to open & close til you get the hand of it. But it's pretty and a good price.This umbrella is certainly pretty, but it’s hard to open and close and it’s not very sturdy. It also does not come with a case or cover of any type. It is very easy to cut yourself when you close the umbrella. It is also very hard to put in to the lock open position. Not a great product, but it will do for now.The umbrella is very adorable and compact, which is quite nice. However, it is pretty flimsy and bends around and backward out of shape when trying to open it. It’s sort of easy to break as well, one of the tips broke off pretty quickly. It works well enough in a pinch, it’s cute enough and priced well enough that I didn’t bother to return it or throw it away, but it is not a 5 star product.The umbrella opens with the dome facing up instead of down unless you shake it before it clicks open. Also, my 9 years old daughter was not strong enough to click it open. Another bad design is the wrap-around strap - it's not long enough so you need to pull it so strong that it almost rips off. Not something that a kid can do, or anyone else should need to do.This item was super late! Ordered in November, arrived early January! Not only did it Not come with “a free sleeve”, the button to open it was defective, making it impossible to open! It also had a broken black elastic that stuck out of the handle (to hang up the umbrella?… but it was broken and just hanging half out)…. Plus it has a strange, unpleasant smell! I’m returning it!Wow that thing stinks ... not even funny. Cheap material all around, impossible to put back in the provided pouch and even I couldn't even manage to wrap it back with the velcro strap. If there's even a smidge of wind, the 1 inch high rubberized handle is FAR from comfortable, unless you hold it with 2 fingers. And for just 20$, I feel you don't even get what you paid for. Very underwhelming and a waste of money.Sorry to say but you might as well buy a dollar store one. It looks pretty and the umbrella part is very nice, the handle and all the skeleton of the umbrella is just flimsy plastic, it really is NO GOOD. I kept it as it was for my daughters birthday and she though it was very pretty. She could barley open it I had to help her. One star was only because the canvas part was nice. I hate giving bad reviews but it was a waste of money.This umbrella was so pretty. It looks just as pictured. It came in a timely fashion. The one I received would not open properly, meaning, the material flipped open in the opposite direction. I could try to flip it all back down, and I am sure that would have been fine, but, I just found it too difficult to maneuver open and closed and to lock in each position. I returned the one I received. It may have been a one off, but I did not purchase another to find out, just in case.
