I just received this umbrella yesterday.  It did not open easily, but when I did, one of the spokes was broken.  I will have to go to the inconvenience of returning the damn thing.  I wish they could just send me a refund and I could toss it away!

Plus I don't like the way it looks, the picture is deceiving.

It was a replacement for an umbrella I bought in a dollar store that lasted for 5 years.
