VILLASON UPF 50+Anti UV Windproof & Waterproof Compact Travel Umbrella/Sturdy Canopy Construction 5 Layers Nano Coating for UV Protection & Waterproof/Ultra Slim and Light(Pink Cat)

This item arrived on time and in good condition. The problem is, it is almost impossible to open. It did not have that handy push button, which is my fault for not noticing during the description. At first, I thought it was broken, but I tried pushing the slide all the way to the top and it finally latched and stayed in place, but it was so hard and then it took two hands and some struggling to release it to put it back down. It is lightweight and it really did reduce the temperature by 10 degrees, I think. I live in South Texas and it was definitely cooler under that umbrella. Also, I ordered the one with the Cat, but it had a fish on the other side. I did notice when I relooked at the website that it had a fish, but I don't know why. I don't like the fish on the other side, and in the description, it only talks about the cat. I considered sending it back because it was broken, but once I was able to get it open, I realized it wasn't broken and just difficult to open, I figured I would keep it and just struggle with it. I think it is too small to be good in the rain, but it is okay for shade...plus, I wouldn't want to be wrestling with it to open and close it in the rain. It was not a bad price and I have not carried it on a very windy day so I don't know if it is windproof.

I took this umbrella with me on my two week trip to Japan and it withstood my abuse from using it daily in the sun and survived the typhoon that swept through (saw SO many people's umbrellas inside-out, this one never did). It kept the hot sun off me and was easily stowed in my tote bag. My only wish is that it had a button to auto-open...OH and that the strap was a bit longer!! I was so afraid it would rip off (the strap to close the umbrella), however, it didn't. You can see in my picture the strain on the strap. Oh well, it did the job!

I like the look of this umbrella and it dries quickly, too. I dropped one star because the cat does not change color in the rain, as the company said it would.

I very much liked the look and quality of this umbrella but in the original description, it was noted that it was an auto open operation. The umbrella I received was a manual operation so I returned it noting the discrepancy. The description has since been changed to describe the operation as manual. If I had been satisfied with a manual operation, I would have given this item five stars.

i have to manually push open and it is a struggle to close manually as well. this was a back up i still use it but prefer the plemo

I wish I could give NO stars. Two main issues with this product upon delivery:1. labeled as an automatic opening umbrella, it is manual2. Heavily Christian themed icons on the umbrella which aren't noted in the description or on the pictures.This was bought as a gift for someone who loves cats (which it clearly notes) and who has difficulty with opening things using buttons. Now it can't be used because of this. So disappointing.

The design is really cute but it's heavier than I expected

It was pretty until after 2 weeks using it, it started to be rust. The umbrella was hard to open and closed. Now I cannot use it any more 😥
