I really like this umbrella; it has a large dome and appears to be well made, except for one thing: the metal clasp that is supposed to keep the umbrella closed sits firmly in the shaft and doesn't slip out. I tried to move it with pliers but it got stuck there. Since this is an automatic umbrella, it will not stay closed without a latch. For now I have it secured with the attached strap but the latch on the strap is very light and not intended to keep the umbrella closed. Suddenly opening a large umbrella in a confined space could result in the loss of an eye or damage to another body part that I care about, so I have to find another solution. Otherwise a good umbrella.
