I LOVED IT; THOUGHT IT WAS VERY STURDY BUT SUDDENLY IT FAILED ME. FIRST ONE OF THE SPOKES GOT DETACHED AT THE TOP AND I WAS THINKING I COULD SEW IT BACK BUT I DIDN'T. TODAY, USING IT, IT SUDDENLY CLOSED AND I SAW A WHITE ELASTIC THREAD HANGING INSIDE. IT WAS TOTALLY BROKEN AND COULD NOT BE OPENED AGAIN. I HAVEN'T USED IT VERY MUCH, BUT I HAVE HAD IT FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE FAILURE BECAUSE IT WAS A FAVORITE.
