What I expected. Very cute.  My only complaints are the size and the effort it takes to open.  This umbrella is more of a toddler's size instead of the size for my 9 year old, but it will work for the season. It takes a little extra effort to open as it is not smooth gliding.  When my son first used it in the rain, he was getting wet while trying to figure out how to open.  It seems as if it will get smoother with time.
