This product is fair.  It was delivered on time and packaged in cardboard cylinder. I ordered this product based on the reviews and I was in need of a second parasol quickly.
The first one I ordered was shipped directly from China, I was hesitant, but it was and is beautiful.  A five star parasol.  So this review is based on the comparison between the two.
The lacing is loose and somewhat tacky when looking at the parasol close up.  The clip to hold the parasol open is made of clear plastic and I do not know how long the durability will last.
As a photographer, the shots that will be used for this parasol will be taken from a distance and will likely be used more for children.  I will save the other parasol for more special occasions.
