QING OUTDOOR Folding Clear Umbrella with Reinforced Steel Ribs

This folding manual clear umbrella is a great choice for walkers who need to see where they're going (i.e., crossing dangerous city streets) on rainy days. The clear type umbrella almost always comes in the huge pointy style which is clumsy for carrying, and I like that this folding model is also the manual push-up type as they last far longer than the automatics which blow out quicker. The black framed style that I purchased is very professional looking, but it also comes with a purple border for a more stylish look. Extra coverage: opens to 15" length panels which is twice as long as many folding manuals. It arrives folded twice over inside thick vinyl slip case with button closure.

I should have looked at the reviews and read the one that gave it one star, I would not have bought it. This is exactly as they said....cheap handle that feels as it will fall off, impossible to fold back up once open so no way you could get it into a bag after you use it, the entire thing feels very flimsy. I would be afraid to use it as it feels so cheaply made. It shipped from China so I will not be returning it. I am big on reviews but I guess I didn't look at them on this item, my fault - live and learn.
