The Vented Urban Brolly Hunter Green

B+

Actually ordered this umbrella for a stage scene of C. S. Lewiss Lion, Witch & Wardrobe, featuring the umbrella that the character Mr. Tumnus carried. It seemed closest to what we needed. Its a lovely umbrella, lightweight, with a cover when the umbrella is furled.

To be fair Im a snob when it comes to quality. The first bullet point in the Amaz ad is Quality and that is what sold me. Well the quality of the fabric seems pretty standard and what you would expect. The main part of any umbrella though is the pole. The wood pole is not as sturdy as one expects; seems very dainty. Also the handle discolored and scratched after just a few normal uses. Im contemplating doing a mod with a leather grip to protect the handle. However just the other day as I was closing the umbrella, wrapping the fabric back up (which has to be done with a twist motion) I heard a crack as if I just snapped something. I inspected but couldnt find anything. I wouldnt be surprised if the handle comes off at some point.

This little workhorse of an umbrella is quite a surprise. It is easy to carry, having a curved handle. Opening - a good, strong snap. The canopy size surprised me, as well. Multiple colors, I chose green. Very pleased.

This is a good quality umbrella.easy to open and close

Awful quality. Wooden top piece is broken. It doesn’t even lock at the top when you open it, so it won’t be a problem for a wind to close it. Next time I’d rather buy $5 umbrella in Walmart than waste $20 on that!

So nice to have a sturdy umbrella. Those collapsing type are useless in a breeze.

Great! Just what I was looking for!

We received the umbrella and the wooden handles was broken already. Returned immediately.

Very well made I love the color and the wood.
