This umbrella is awesomely beautiful, and feels like real quality material. The colors are vivid. The handle is comfortable. It is exactly how it looks in the picture. I bought the automatic, and the mechanism works perfectly. Just be aware: this umbrella is big. I mean like you-can-easily-fit-four-people-underneath big. So if you're looking for a smaller umbrella that fits maybe two people, this will be a bit of overkill. Still, it is undeniably awesome.
