" ... I bought this last January and it's completely mangled broken. ... "
" ... Having no other umbrella, I tried to continue using it, and over the next few days several more spines broke. ... My only reason for the second star is that I did keep it for several months (barely used) before this happened. ... "
" ... I've been the owner of this umbrella for a year now and I think I used it for about 10 times (more or less), it passes all the wind tests as it never overturned, but lately I'm noticing that in heavy rain, it starts to drip through the material. ... "
" ... I picked it up a few months later when it was raining, and I found that the handle had broken completely such that the plastic housing/sleeve fell off. ... I contacted them through their website and I have had no response in two weeks. ... "
" ... This umbrella stopped working a month after I bought it. ... "
" ... I use this umbrella for 1 month about 20 times and broke easily ... "
" ... One of the inside sticks broke after just 1-2 times use. ... "

" ... The button function only works as a 'push to open button' , after you close it, you have to return it to starting position for it to open again. ... "
" ... Button worked one time, and now it will not work again. ... "
" ... It will close, but when I click the button to pen it it won't stay open! ... "
" ... My only gripe is if you accidentally press the button while its open it will close on your head and you can't push it back open manually like most umbrellas. ... You need to pull it back down (which is difficult to do) into the complete closed position and then press the button again to automatically open it again. ... "
" ... On my first use, the umbrella popped open fine, but when I pressed the button to close it - it would not close all the way, leaving me to struggle with it. ... "
" ... It's not much better than the $10 umbrella I had before with the exception of the open and close button. ... "
" ... Too bad it didn't have a spring button to close the umbrella. ... "
" ... Today, since it was raining, I brought my umbrella to work and it worked alright to get me there, but when I pushed the button to open it again, the shaft extended, but the canopy never opened! ... "
