Has worked well and people always ask me about it. I go to school in a very windy place so if the umbrella ever gets bent out of shape, you press the button and it'll close again and open again, back to it's original shape. Haven't had any problems with it.

We bought this umbrella for my dad for fathers day, and then we used it 3 times and now it won't close because the automatic button doesn't work. It definately wasn't worth the [$] to use it 3 times.
