The best parasol!
Received one just like this as a gift. Has 50 spf Sunscreen which I love. After several years use it wore out. Ordered this one to replace it and it is perfect- so pretty and sun protection too. I always get compliments!

Cute sun protection!
I purchased this for protection from the South Carolina sun. I am fair complected so I burn easily. Also, due to fibromyalgia, I am very sensitive to the heat, and can get sick if I get overheated. It IS a little finicky to get to the ribs all open (nothing that serious, just be aware that there isn't an automatic open button). When you first extend it, you may run into what others are saying "opened upside down". Just gradually, manually pull the ribs down one at a time, being sure each locks in place. Perhaps slightly time consuming (took me about 5 minutes to figure it out), but now that I have, it should be a breeze.Also, if you want to use the cute storage bag that came with it, after carefully closing the parasol and snapping the strap back around, insert it into the bag handle first.It's a beautiful item, and I will update my review after a few months of use.

Umbrella is gorgeous on the outside, inside lining is solid black nylon
I adore the top/outside of this umbrella! It's a gorgeous taupe/beige lace with a bit of sparkle, very true to the photos in the description, and looks amazing from anywhere except the inside. I've included a picture of the bag the umbrella comes in, which is made of the same materials, and shows the outside lace and the inside black.I like that it has waterproof functionality. The only issue is that the whole umbrella could have been that tan color, with a matching nylon lining inside, and it would've looked great from all angles, but instead, they made the inside a solid black, which looks stark/jarring against the muted color of the lace. And when I hold the umbrella over my shoulder like a parasol, I have that very dark lining right behind my head, which (at least in my case) looks awful for pictures, because my dark hair blends into the umbrella behind me. The product description also makes it seem like the inside lining is a lovely jacquard print black, but it's not. In my photo you can see the inside fabric has no pattern to it, it's just plasticky-looking.Given that I don't know why anyone would buy this decorative-looking item EXCEPT for situations where you want a beautiful lace umbrella/parasol, it makes sense that some folks would want to be able to take pictures with it open. And if I'm dressed for a Victorian festival or something, I want my hairstyle to be visible, not blend in with the inside of my umbrella.I did get this "used" from Amazon for a good price, so I think I'll probably keep it, because I really do love the outside, but I may try to spray paint, bleach or SOMETHING that black nylon. I would rather not cut if off because then I'd just end up with a lace parasol which are available all over Amazon for cheap, and I liked that this one was rainproof.(There was also a minor issue with the way the umbrella folds up, because it arrives with the joints sort of "broken"--bent the wrong way--and you have to snap them into place so that the umbrella will open correctly. This was easy enough to figure out in the moment and I wouldn't consider it an issue, but if you didn't want to risk popping the joints into place, you might think the entire thing had arrived with broken spokes. That said, I won't be popping them back to fold it up now that I've gotten it configured, because I worry they /will/ break, as they don't seem all that sturdy.)

Protecting your skin
What a exquisite umbrella. Remember when women would use parasols to walk the sun to protect brown marks on their faces and discoloration this is exquisite and it has UV protection so I use it every time I'm in the Sun and sometimes I don't have to use sunscreen when I use it correctly otherwise I use both exquisite.

Umbrella/Parasol black and silver.
I was extremely surprised at how well made and beautiful the umbrella/parasol is. I planed on using it if the weather was to hot or it rained and neither happened, however I still showed it off to everyone at the wedding and received great responses.

Folds weird
This is very pretty. It doesn’t seem durable though. And it folds up horribly. Like folding an old school paper map. Ugg.

Cute and quality
I just rebought this item when it broke after 9 years of regular use. I hate being in direct sunlight and this little parasol folds up small enough to fit in any travel bag and it’s super cute, I only wish it had a cane handle for easy carry when in use but that would sort of compromise the storabilityBought 2 colors. I love this item

Waste of money
Awful. I opened the package right away, it was broken. $37 after shipping costs, don’t waste your money! I am returning it. It also took a long time to ship and arrived too late for the event it was bought for.
