Did not stand up to weather conditions in NYC!

DO NOT BUY. At $22 dollars this umbrella bent after less than 6 months of owning it. What makes it worse is that it happen while I was walking through the street of New York City. We don't have crazy winds or extreme weather here, and yet the umbrella couldn't handle it.In addition, the Velcro wrapping the umbrella is becoming loose and my typical usage is around once every one or two weeks.Definitely look elsewhere!
