I bought the umbrella with the logic that it is a value-for-money umbrella that withstands winds. I didn't even have a chance to enjoy it. Initially, the handle is made of not so durable plastic with a small metal mechanism that leads to the "breaking" of the umbrella. I open it and notice that the plastic ribs move internally. It's okay, I think, I didn't buy the most expensive umbrella on the market. I try to close it and nothing. The mechanism gets stuck in the metal part. I try for a long time (in fact, as shown in the photo, there are marks, maybe from previous attempts - not mine, I bought it new), and eventually it comes down, ejecting the plastic button from its position. Although I can recognize the fact that I received a defective umbrella (which is why it will be returned), it doesn't negate the fact that the quality of the frame is not good, resulting in this specific problem appearing even in a well-made umbrella. For 35€, stay away... I will also go to one of the classic Maui umbrellas.

Amazing umbrella, 2 meters, outdoor aluminum color and with a blue color on the inside, you sit underneath and the air is cool. Good construction, there is a carrying case for the shoulder, relatively light. I bought 1 umbrella and it was so good for its price of 33 euros that after 2-3 days I bought another one. In total, 2 identical umbrellas. What is written in the description is correct. There are simply 2 metal loops to tie with a string. I put 1 string with a metal stake sunk into the sand so it wouldn't be visible, just in case, and it was in place even with 3-4 Beaufort winds. It is good when strong winds blow to have both strings in place to avoid any problems when you are at the sea. It was secured with a 45 cm metal stake with a clamp worth 4 euros; I wouldn't pay 28-32 euros for a metal rod. I also got 2 plastic hooks worth 1 euro to hang personal items like a swimsuit, a shirt, etc., passing them through the umbrella and tightening with a plastic screw by hand. At some point, I will take a photo and upload it. It has a vent, not inflatable, but a regular one that most vented umbrellas have. So far, it is worth the money I spent and what an umbrella with these characteristics offers to block the sun's rays... You literally cool off when you are underneath it. I RECOMMEND IT; after all, I bought 2 umbrellas because I am extremely satisfied... PS 15/08/2024 Since I read comments that there is a problem with the reclining mechanism, I would recommend that all reclining mechanisms are sensitive and you need to be careful when pressing the reclining button. It depends on the wind that an umbrella receives, and then it's good for the reclining mechanism not to work in the recline position. Almost all beach umbrellas are sensitive in this area. I put this specific umbrella in recline and had no problem. Now with the wind. Because so far I have been to the sea 28 times with a presence of 5-10 hours on the beach in different places for protection when it blows, I have two strings tied to the rings of the umbrella and secured in the sand with iron stakes sunk into the sand. The wind is sometimes 2 Beaufort, sometimes 3-4-5 Beaufort, and to be at ease, you need to have the two supports with strings. You swim in the sea and there is no problem with your umbrella. It doesn't move at all. The height is normal and not lowered for the umbrella. Because I have another cheap beach umbrella that was supported with a screw-type plastic stake in the sand, when it blew, it uprooted it along with the base, while the campus umbrellas with the tied strings did not move.
