Orgrimmar Ladies Lace Parasol Umbrella Anti-UV Protection Sun Shade UPF 50+ Lightweight and Portable Folding Umbrella (Yellow)

I live in Arizona where the sun is HOT! This pretty parasol gives me shade so I can walk the neighborhood with my husband.

I adore the top/outside of this umbrella! Its 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. Ive 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 wouldve 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 its not. In my photo you can see the inside fabric has no pattern to it, its just plasticky-looking. Given that I dont 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 Im 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 Ill 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 Id 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 wouldnt consider it an issue, but if you didnt want to risk popping the joints into place, you might think the entire thing had arrived with broken spokes. That said, I wont be popping them back to fold it up now that Ive gotten it configured, because I worry they /will/ break, as they dont seem all that sturdy.)

Very attractive

Love love love it

While this lovely parasol is not exactly Gone with the Wind style, it is lovely on the visible side and comes in a convenient carrying/packing case. I ordered it for an outdoor summer wedding in late August. I will decide whether to make do with a wide-brimmed hat or the parasol, but Im sure I will find many uses for this pretty, practical, portable sunshade. I deliberately ordered a neutral color to expand its usefulness. It took some looking, but this is just what I wanted.

When you open this the secondary spines dont open and you have to extend each one manually. In order to close it you have to bend each one down. I will just use a regular umbrella bc these are wholly unusable.

Dislike entirely. Usefulness is negated by the puzzle work to open. Almost impossible without 2-3 pairs of hands. It was purchased as a gift to a 92 year old family member for sun protection at a graveside gathering. I was embarrassed.

Lovely but not as curved as depicted in picture, still very useful and wide enough to fit 2/3 people.

Perfect for long walks on a hot day
