Classic Auto Open Umbrella with Real Wooden Hook Handle

Honestly, I planned on removing the cover on this umbrella so that I could use it to make a crochet parasol. I'm still going to do that, but now I just feel so bad because I love it as is. It's so sturdy and it pops out so quick and effortlessly. I love the sturdiness of the entire thing, especially the handle. I wish I could give it an even higher rating than a 5.

I really wanted an old fashioned umbrella I could use at Renaissance Fairs since I make items for sell there and participate.Also is to have the umbrella double down as a walking stick, cane etc. The curved wooden handle is excellent! having the “shaft” be wooden was not a consideration and it is fragile. I frankly assumed that you couldn’t put too much weight on it (I’m 6’1” tall and weigh 180 lbs. ) and my first shipment from the umbrella supplier arrived broken along the wooden (yes, the shaft is also wooden…a stained pine dowel I believe). So this umbrella is good to double as a cane. But the tip can slide out from under you or scratch a hardwood floor. Also it will not take the weight an actual walking stick/cane is designed for. Neither is it to be expected…Enter the Rubber Tip Covers item #xoo2eym5t gotoonie hiking stick covers. These are designed for standard issue walking/ hiking sticks similar to ski gear. They fit! And grip a hardwood floor without scratching it. Perfect match!!! Again, the umbrella can double well as a walking stick or cane within these parameters or caveats. Excellent pairing 👍!

I bought this as more of a prop than for actual use. I created an area in our entryway that has a bench and a mirror and it really needed something like an umbrella stand to complete it. So I bought this as the masculine umbrella and paired it with a Laura Ashley for the feminine umbrella. I was so very surprised to see the quality of this when it arrived. The box was pretty beat up, but when I opened it - it was in perfect condition. And….it really works. It is the old fashioned style with the u-shaped handle. It is made of wood and looks very high quality. And the button that you push to open it looks like a small gem. For the price, it is a real winner. Very happy with this and I do recommend it. I think you will be happy with your purchase if you do.

This is a nice looking umbrella, but wood on its handle doesn’t seem to be real. The paint start to scratch off right away. Also, one of the spines of my umbrella broke within a year and pierced through the material.

Good quality and very cute, perfect for a rainy SantaCon.

I can't wait for Autumn/winter rains. I wanted a wood handle classic looking umbrella, this is it. May get an umbrella stand next.

Colorful tartan plaid bright and cheery on a rainy day.

I use it for long walks, not just for a quick door dash. When not in use, it has to be the right weight and height for a walking stick. Very happy with it.
