Love this umbrella! I bought two based on price (amazon deal) and reviews and have been very happy with both! My husbands boss scoffed when I said I bought umbrellas online because we could have just as easily bought umbrellas in a store, but my husband has LOVED these and has complimented me on my purchase! He likes the feel of the handle and the cloth material.  It rains a lot here and umbrellas don't normally last too long, but so far so good after 10 months of use!
