I ordered this for my daily purpose as the monsoon has arrived. It is well designed that it doesn't let you get wet during rain. Build quality is good too.

The media could not be loaded. This is a cute lightweight umbrella. It’s small but has plenty of coverage to keep the rain or sun off. Super easy to open and close with the button. It has a design on the outside and is black on the inside. I plan on using this next summer as a parasol at the parks in FL to help shelter the sun. For now it’s an umbrella to keep in my car and desk drawer. The shaft is about 21.5” which is perfect for a parasol and an umbrella. This would be a great gift!

A crude test to check whether a fabric can efficiently block light (and therefore UV) is to hold the fabric up close to your face, face an intensely bright light source, and look through it to see whether any light passes through the weave of the fabric.I did this test with the umbrella (black) against the bright summer sky and found in the fabric no visible perforations that would allow light to pass through from the other side. For reference, denim, apparently, has a UPF value of 1700, and if you peer in closely, some light can still pass through its weave. As such, I'm very satisfied with the value of this umbrella.Note though, that the fabric is ever so slightly glossy, as most synthetic fabrics are, so, while the umbrella should, in good faith, be able to fully block incident rays of sunshine, the underside of the fabric will still reflect back onto the user a fair amount of the UV that itself is reflected from the surfaces of miscellaneous things in the vicinity.That said, this is a physical property unavoidable in all materials that are not pieces of vantablack engineering. The intensity and wavelength of the radiation that can be reflected from a fabric depend on the physical properties specific to the material and dyes used in the fabric's construction.All in all, I'm extremely happy with what I got at this price point. This umbrella's light-blocking ability surpasses even Fulton's summer parasols, which I've tested out before in-stores.I only wish that the canopy were a bit wider in diameter. I'm too old-fashioned to get on board with the auto-open (and impossible-to-close) mechanisms on modern umbrellas, and this seems to be the one of TradMall's only products to have a manual mechanism. However, closing this umbrella was, surprisingly, a breeze, so it's tempting me to try out their wider-brim selections.

I use this umbrella often to shield myself from the sun (and occasionally rain). It is a total sunblock and cute to boot. Sometimes it's just too hot to wear a hat.

I got this umbrella solely for the purpose to shade my baby at the golf course. Sadly I took it to a golf tournament this weekend and it’s already ruined. Despite it not being windy outside the umbrella kept turning inside out and there’s already a small tear in it. We were not rough with it and it stayed in the golf cart at all times.

I’ve only used it for a few times since I bought it in late August, and today I realized it’s not opening properly because the frame is partially broken. :( I wish I had used it more frequently (instead of once a fortnight!!) to figure this out earlier and return it by the end of September. :(UPDATE: the customer service contacted me and offered to send a new umbrella. The customer service staff is patient and attentive, and I’m satisfied with the service and changed my rating from two stars to four stars. (I haven’t picked up the new one, but regardless of that, the customer service is good)
