I bought this umbrella in a hurry, without reading a single review, and without giving it much thought. I have returned to leave this review because the item was a very pleasant surprise.

I have found it to be sturdy, more than adequately large for two, easy to navigate with on Manhattan sidewalks, resistant to wind, and to have a nice feeling of "heft" in the hand when rolled. I am grateful that I made the mistake of buying it, and I recommend it unhesitatingly.
