I love the pattern and colors on this umbrella. I actually bought two - one for myself and one as a gift. Although I absolutely love the color and pattern, it was a bit difficult to open because of the folding metal supports. It's definitely a MANUAL umbrella and you just need to figure out how to get it up without mangling it!
Pros
Great pattern and color.
Reduces down to very small size (perfect for purse, bookbag or even pocket!)
Has a nice cover!
Cons
A bit difficult to get open and erected.
(If you are in a downpour, stand under a roof 'til you get it up and expanded!)
Still - it LOOKS great!

Finnstyle is such a good company to work with....good product description, quality, variety and superb service.
Cons
Not automatic

This is just the cutest little umbrella...it's small enough to fit in most of my jacket pockets, backpack pocket or purses. It's well made, durable and very cute!
