Disappointment

This was the worst operating umbrella I have ever encountered. It sounded great but the button to push to automatically open the umbrella was so hard to push I had to use both thumbs; then taking it down was worse yet. It was not automatic and you had to hold all the folded spines together and try to slip them back in the handle. I never was able to accomplish that task. I returned it as I have arthritis in my hands and thought that automatic would be easy like the one I had before. Not so. I do not recommend this umbrella for anyone!!!! The customer service was wonderful though so koodoos to them.
