Lux Hardwood Collection

Love this umbrella so sturdy not heavy and the design is perfect and so water resistant. I wanted the green but I see it’s sold out but I like the others as well. Fits write in my tot for work . Designes are so pretty well made and looks like a 100 dollar umbrella. Will buy again.

This is absolutely the best umbrella that I have ever owned! Granted, I am the type of person who avoids buying anything that I feel to be unnecessary, which means that I haven’t bought a new umbrella for years because I didn’t mind getting a little wet to save some money. However, after moving to Wisconsin (which is much wetter than I was expecting) and starting a new job that required more traveling (particularly when it was wet), I realized that I needed to bite the bullet and get myself a true *adult* umbrella. After looking through the options available, I decided that I would go with this Balios umbrella because it had decent reviews, looked nice, was a good price, and I was intrigued about how you could close an umbrella with a button (I’ve only gotten previous umbrellas from convenience stores so they were pretty cheap). And, I have to say, I am so happy with my decision! The design of the umbrella is sleek and classic. There were a lot of color options offered for canopy, but I chose black because I’ve kept my east coast wardrobe of all black everything. I have no complaints as it contrasts well with the handle. It is also a good size, which I attempted to show in comparison to my 120-pound dog, but he wasn't having it. And, while looking nice is important, being able to open and close the umbrella at the push of a bottom is my absolute favorite part! I often have to carry multiple bags with me when I travel and commute to/from work. It is so easy to handle everything now, and, unlike my past experiences umbrellas, I don’t have to try to balance or juggle everything while using both of my hands to try to get the canopy to close. The only issue I had with my umbrella was that it sometimes took a couple of pushes of the bottom to close the canopy when I first got it. However, that issue went away after a couple uses so I think it just needed to (figuratively) stretch its legs a bit. Overall, this is a great umbrella and I highly recommend it. As long as I have this, I'll never get caught in the rain again, and I may just have to order another one for my husband so he doesn’t try to take it for himself!

This umbrella is a work of art. I fell in love the minute I took it out of the box. The attention to detail, quality and sturdiness of this umbrella makes me want to pray for rain every single day. And I don’t like rain! I was able to put this beautiful creature to the test recently and let me tell you a secret: I didn’t want to go inside! At the push of a button the umbrella pops open with minimal effort. The base is sturdy and angled just slightly so that you can hold onto it easily in windier conditions. The umbrella holds up well to rain and light snow conditions (I live in the Northeast where winter’s are 9 months out of the year.) At another push of a button, the umbrella folds back into itself and you can easily push it together to fit tightly back into itself. The umbrella comes with not just one, but two covers. The smaller blue cover keeps the umbrella in a tight and neatly wrapped package. However, I love the black outside cover the umbrella originally came in. This is very convenient for when your walking into a store, from outside, and need to temporarily store the umbrella somewhere until you go back outside again. The black cover is large enough to fit the umbrella while it’s still dripping wet without trying to wrangle it into the smaller cover. The larger cover seems pretty durable. All in all I am very happy with this purchase. I’m typically not one to buy umbrella’s over $10 but this was a great value for the money. I can see this umbrella lasting a very long time and would highly recommend to anyone needing one!

I like this umbrella. Unfortunately I lost the cover the first time I went out with it. But it is classy and large and handles the wind pretty good. I haven't used it much in the summer in Dallas but once I've used it more I will either raise or lower the # of stars.

A really well-made umbrella. A pleaseure to use. And strong. It is heavy compared to some "packable" umbrellas, but worth carrying for its quality.

Very sturdy and handles the rain well. I would buy again.

Even better than expected.

Super comfortable and simple, it delivers what it promises, and very luxurious for its price.

I will buy again.

La sombrilla se ve muy bien

This umbrella has excellent build quality. It was definitely worth the $40 I paid. My other $5 umbrellas would break on first or second use with the strong winds we get here in Australia. This umbrella has held up strongly the few times I've had to use it. The rain water comes off of the umbrella very easily as well and quickly dries. Very happy with it and I recommend it.

Muy buena calidad y diseño elegante. Llegó rápido

As per my other reviews on Balios umbrellas (I have three), these are an amazing product. Looks and feels very expensive, very sturdy and everyone who borrows it wants one!
