G4Free52/62inch Wooden J Handle Golf Umbrella Windproof UV Protection Classic Stick Wedding Cane Umbrellas, Auto Open Cane Hook Handle

This umbrella is huge and looks really good! I bought 2 of these when my husband and I eloped (I could've gotten 1 because they are so big that they fit 2 people underneath) to use in our outdoor wedding because they look so nice. But be warned, this thing is big. We tried fitting it in our baggage and it just wouldn't fit. We got lucky because we could take it on the plane with us, but if you're trying to travel with it, just know that it is very long and the dimensions it lists are accurate.In saying this, I really enjoy this umbrella, it's really sturdy, lightweight and I love the wooden J handle. The umbrellas held up really well while we were traveling (during the rain and putting them in the overhead bins on the plane), and I definitely recommend it!

I had this umbrella for five years until it was stolen last week, and it still looked and operated like it was brand new. I was amazed to look up the order and find out it was five years old. I wish they still sold it in light gray, but I'll settle for the green.52" is ample for two people. It's a sturdy and reliable umbrella. The double canopy means it works fine in moderate wind. It never reversed on me once, in those five years. It occasionally came unhitched, but would pop right back onto the rib with no damage. It looks like they may have changed the rib-end design, to make pop-offs even less likely -- great!If you buy a full-sized umbrella, get a hook handle, like this one. Hook it over your arm, and you have both hands free for unlocking doors, etc.I highly recommend this umbrella.

Loved this umbrella! Unfortunately someone stole it during Christmas 😔…I’ll get another soon.

This umbrella had pretty good reviews and is the perfect size for my purposes, so I decided to give it a try. One thing that really bugged me, though not a deal breaker, is how the button for the quick-release is not aligned with the handle. You can see what I meant in the picture below.After using the umbrella for about 2 weeks, I can say that this umbrella holds up decently well. I used this umbrella through two pretty big rain storms (walked with it for about 15 mins each time), and there was no tear in the fabric, no fracture or dent in the frame, and no loose threads in the sewing. The connection part between the wooden handle and shaft feels fairly sturdy as there isn't any wiggle room even after the storms.Now, the main beef I got with this umbrella...... When I used the umbrella, I noticed how the umbrella would sometimes open on its own when I'm walking or when I set down the umbrella upright (such as when I just walk into a building from the rain before I tie up the umbrella). Upon inspecting it, I found that the locking mechanism gets pushed further toward the tip every time I open the umbrella----to a point where it will barely hook onto the plastic and the smallest vibration will set off the mechanism. If I try to pull it toward the locking position, the first scenario is that it will completely come off (as you can see in one of the pics). You can notice from the picture that the entire button is hooked onto the shaft with a small nudge at the tip of the metal (the small hole on the shaft). The second scenario is that the button will get stuck and won't go to the correct position, and therefore you can't lock the umbrella (also seen in one of the pictures where my hand was holding onto the umbrella, but you don't see the metal actually hooking the plastic). I've attached a separate picture where you can see the hook clearly when the umbrella locks properly. Constantly having to deal with this loose locking mechanism is quite annoying. It might be fine for some of you out there, but it is really annoying for me as it actually requires a certain amount of force to adjust the metal to be at the right locking position.TL;DR The canopy itself is great, the handle is ok, and the locking mechanism is outright awful for me. Pictures below for your reference.EDIT (11/3/2019):I worked with Amazon and got a replacement sent to me already. I didn't use the new one in any storms yet, so I have yet to see if a similar issue will happen again. I changed the rating from 3 stars to 4 because I appreciate the customer service and their willingness to take ownership. One thing to note is that the button for quick-release is still not aligned properly with the handle, and the button's position in regard to the logo on the handle is different on the new umbrella compared to the one I replaced.EDIT (9/9/2020):I haven't used it much in the winter right after my last edit and during the quarantine, but this one is holding up a lot better than the previous one I replaced. Just thought I'd give a quick update before I forget about this.

This product was purchased for my wife. She and I were immediately impressed with the obvious quality and design of this umbrella. I was pleased with how much more substantial the struts (for lack of a better term) of the umbrella were, compaired to any other umbrella that we owned or had owned. Also, I liked that an air vent near the top of the unit had been added to release air pressure to mimimize the risk that high winds would turn the umbrella in side out. My wife was particularly pleased with the "classic" design and look of the umbrella including the beautiful wood hook handle. Couldn't be happier.

I also use this as my cane as I am disabled. The canopy is large and protects from the rain as well as the wind. Definitely will buy another one if needed, but these will last for years to be sure. Hats off to the designers

Feels like a long lasting umbrella. Holds up through rain and wind. I like the fact it comes with a pouch.

Fast shipping, works great, love the color, the protective sleeve is a nice bonus.
