I have an umbrella similar to this brand and the BEST feature is the open AND close BUTTON feature.  I hate the manual close umbrellas.  This umbrella is INCREDIBLY STURDY.  Made of high quality material and smart design.  I bought 2 of these, one for my daughter and one for my husband.  Nothing worse than being caught in the rain and not having an umbrella, or a crummy one that goes in every which direction depending on the wind.  Worth the investment if you ask me.
