VIVI SKY Old Fashionable Ingenuity Umbrella Reviews Summary

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Purchased this parasol for cosplay purposes and wow, is it amazing!"
• "This is a gorgeous parasol! I got it right before the Barbie movie came out so I got to show it off at the theater 😀."
• "Love this umbrella. It is however much larger than we had anticipated, but who ever complains about an umbrella being too large?!"
• "Wonderful umbrella! Bought the very off-white and pink ones, like them enough that I just bought the black and purple ones, and my friends have asked me where I got them."
• "I love the design of it! When you open it up, it's just stunning!"
• "Beautiful old-fashioned, yet timeless accessory. Looks just like the photos and the description is accurate."
• "It’s just lovely with the ivory fabric and black trim and handle! Very chic looking!"

Cons:

• "What appeared and was sold as white/silver was in fact BEIGE AND HAD BLACK POLKA DOTS ON IT."
• "However I was not expecting it to have small black polka dots along the white edges."
• "The only reason I didn’t get this five stars of the color. I ordered purple expecting the color to look like the picture, but it is a very pale lavender."
• "The first one arrived and as soon as you opened it, the fabric cover fell off the ribs."
• "The black stripe is actually black with tiny white polka dots."
• "The umbrella I got looks nothing like the picture. The silhouette is all wrong, which was the entire reason I purchased this one."
• "This was a really bright bubble gum pink, or like Pepto Bismol color."

Functionality and Durability

Pros:

• "Bought this umbrella as a prop for photography, though it’s a real thing and protects you from the rain."
• "It kept me so much cooler while out in the heat and is a large enough umbrella that it could easily be used to shade two smaller people."
• "There’s no leak or whatsoever."
• "It holds up very well in wind and rain and is easy to clean if it gets muddy."
• "I can attest to the fact that this lovely and unique Pagoda holds up in heavy rain, wind and cannot wait to use in Wedding photos."
• "It's a very unique shape but also very sturdy and not flimsy in any way!"
• "It's more sturdy than a regular umbrella because it has more bars to support it."

Cons:

• "I got this one today and unboxed it and it had rip in it."
• "I bought this relatively inexpensive umbrella with the hopes to use it for just a couple of hours for one day. It broke the moment I opened it up after taking it out of the delivery package."
• "This thing snapped like a twig 30 seconds after I opened it."
• "It was advertised as a way to get shade in the sun, but it is so thin and cheap it actually does not provide any protection at all."
• "Unfortunately, it had the glue showing where the handle meets the body, and it broke the very first time I opened it."
• "I've only had it a few months and only used it a few times a week and it already busted."
• "I received this in the mail and after the first use not only did the tip fall off, but the entire umbrella is falling apart."

Size and Portability

Pros:

• "It’s a great size. Wasn’t expecting it to be as big as it was."
• "It is large in diameter so it covers well."
• "This umbrella is surprisingly light, beautifully shaped, and wide enough for me and my boo."
• "It's bigger than I thought it would be though - more of a proper umbrella size vs a parasol size."
• "I bought this umbrella because I was wanting a white one with full coverage. This was the closest I could get but it does keep the sun off and although it's not compact, it travels well."
• "It's very effective against the sun."
• "Its made of UV protection fabric and the shade it casts is definitely cooler."

Cons:

• "It's a nice umbrella but it’s gigantic."
• "At six feet tall, it is slightly too short for me to use it as a cane."
• "It's just too broad to use when moving through milling crowds."
• "It is light and poorly constructed. It doesn't hold up to wind, and it is pretty tiny."
• "With this parasol, the light pours through. I won't even bother testing it to see if it provides protection."
• "The umbrella isn't as efficient as a domed umbrella or a larger umbrella at blocking rain; you have to hold it just so, because of the flatter shape."
• "It’s not the sturdiest and i can see where you’d have problems; the fabric isn’t super tough and it wrinkles sometimes."

Customer Satisfaction

Pros:

• "I’m very happy that I could get one at this price."
• "I purchased the parasol to use on vacation in Florida as I have lupus and can't be in the sun for long. I didn't have any flare ups and I used it when I went to Universal."
• "I've used it in sun and rain over the past week and it's been great."
• "I love the shape of this umbrella! It's so unique! Called 'very Victorian looking' by a passers-by!"
• "Love this so much! I can't stress that enough."
• "I bought this for sun protection. I have very delicate fair skin."
• "I am surprised by the sturdy parts and smooth quality work/mechanics, given the low price."

Cons:

• "Probably wouldn't use in very windy conditions because easily bent."
• "Although a very pretty umbrella, there is no reflective, opaque, or UV protective coating on this."
• "I honestly feel like I’m going to break this parasol just opening and closing it."
• "The handle is flimsy and thin, which makes it lightweight but feels unsturdy."
• "I've bought this umbrella twice now as the first one I bought was lost or maybe stolen. It doesn't look nearly as high quality or refined as the original did."
• "This is definitely larger than what I would consider a parasol."
• "This is the cutest umbrella ever unfortunately I wouldn’t suggest it for the rain even though it says waterproof."
