This is a great umbrella; I ordered two. One for the house and one for my truck.  Have used it once and it's definitely sturdy and folds down relatively small compared to other umbrellas it's size.  It is a bit heavy as another reviewer mentioned, but I think that is the trade off to have something so well made. Both me and my husband can walk under it comfortably and not get wet. I ordered the Navy/White combination and I think it has a nice look to it!
