The plastic handle is cheap and some of the metal hinges started rusting very quickly, but overall it hasn't been bad.  It's a little better than bargain bin umbrellas and the cost above them goes to the novelty so it's not a bad buy in all.  Mine came with a cloth carrying sleeve rather than a plastic one as others have wrote about.  I don't use it regardless just because it covers all the umbrella looking parts, and I don't need all the questions about it : p
