This parasol came exactly as described and the lace is lovely.  Nice as a shade and light diffuser/background for photographs.

Unfortunately, the handle fell off the shaft the first time I used it.  This is not a problem, because a bit of wood glue fixed it perfectly, but it did make me concerned about possible future problems.

In the end, I'd say it's a deal.  Seemed to be the cheapest deal I found and it's worth what you pay for it.

Interesting to note that after I bought it, I noticed that Julie Andrews used the same parasol at a garden party in "Princess Diaries 2."  Yes, I'm willing to admit that I watched it.  I was sick, what do you want?
