What a disappointment

This was to be a replacement for my current Leighton umbrella which has performed well for over 12 years. I had to send this one back because the shaft did not collapse easily; it was nearly impossible to fold up the umbrella and tuck it into its protective sleeve; and the knob cut into my hand. Additionally, the fabric seemed a bit flimsy and the umbrella was wobbly when I held it. On a positive note, the umbrella is lightweight and the peacock print is cheery. However, I'm left to wonder if Leighton is cutting corners.
