It does the job, but it's very flimsy. Not good for use in significant winds.not a good quality, not worth for the priceIt's OK for an inexpensive umbrella. I failed to notice that free shipping was not included...my bad...freight was twice what the umbrellas was...DUH!!!It broke as I opened itTotal piece of junk.Everyone loved these small, practical presents!Great itemAlmost full-size and compact when folded up. Fits in pocket or purse. Not high-wind resistant, but works well in most circumstances.
