Review on Balios Bailos_Umb_Black Prestige Umbrella Windproof by Jackie Wright

Revainrating 1 out of 5

NOT exceptionally strong

Bought for its "uniquely strong frame". Well, it broke on the second day of use when it exploded around a corner in Venice. The plastic on three spokes burst. Update June 1, 2017 Customer service is 5 stars though. They contacted me after my review and offered to send me a replacement with their new and updated version which I received today. The part that broke so easily has been replaced with a stronger metal bracket that will hopefully prevent the breakage. So look for the updated version! I'll check it out after testing it in rain and wind, but it looks good and the mechanics work fine. I also like the view of the night sky printed on the bottom.

Pros
  • Ideal for small homes
Cons
  • For old
