Umbrella 1 ribs broken please exchange my umbrella

Bought it for 900 Rs as of June 2023. It is slightly expensive considering most of the frame parts are folded sheet Metal. Ideal price should be 700 Rs. However, it is far better than other 499 Rs umbrella. -Fabric is very fine and stitches are nearly seamless. There are no visible joints for water to seep through. -Manufacturing quality of the frame is really good, each link is rigidly secured and there is nearly no flex. -10 spokes makes for a heavier but rigid design. -Opposite to what is advertised, only end rods are made up of fiber, center links and the pole are of metal colored in black. This is quite common for umbrella priced below 1000 Rs. Still it is a good balance between price and quality. -However at this priced point I was expecting solid rod links as opposed to the folded sheet metal links. These are known to break due to rusting particularly at joints. This makes drying umbrella necessary before folding to avoid rusting. However, rivet joints appears to be aluminum which is good to avoid rusting. To summarise, this is expected to last few seasons if used and dried properly. Eg. once or twice a week under moderate rain. Frequent opening and closing may damage it sooner than you expect. Any foldable umbrella is not suitable for regular usage under moderate to heavy rain. In such case one should go for long conventional umbrellas where all fiber body is easily available at this price range.

Broke on the first use. the spring shoots up easily, so can't make a mistake while closing or the rope inside might snap. i contacted the customer care and was provided with a new replacement. very good service.

Complete waste of money and not recommended at all. I ordered two of these items. Received a defective piece which was returned and got a refund. Ordered again one more as I wanted one more umbrella and that got broke on the first use itself. It worked properly for only 2–3 days. During normal use, the internal thread/mechanism came loose, making the umbrella completely. I even took it to an umbrella repair shop but the repair person was unable to fix it This was a complete waste of money.

It would be better if it was double coated.

An automatic umbrella easy to carry but it's weight is slightly heavy.

Works well but is very heavy

Good
