Birdcage 1 Umbrella

Great quality umbrella and the transparency means that you can put yourself into a little cocoon and protect yourself from the rain whilst still seeing ahead of you. It is a good quality and on the heavier side of an umbrella

I am so pleased I chose this umbrella, so many to choose from, it is exceptional quality for the price. It is strong, robust and very effective in windy weather, won’t blow inside out. It has a nice big dome so you have plenty of visibility keeping you sung and dry. I recommend it to anyone who likes the dome shape rather than the more flat version.

I bought this for £11.23 on 25 October 2025 - I think it must have been on offer. Currently it is £24.93 on 3/2/26. It is well made, lovely and strong feeling, operates smoothly, and has a nice clear cover. So far it has been very good, no signs of weakness, so hopefully that will continue. It hasn't been used in any strong winds, but I see no reason why it wouldn't be fine in such weather. Definitely worth the price I paid, but for £25? Probably, but time will tell. The only downside is that it doesn't collapse. But that is obvious, so you just need to realise that before buying it.

Really well made umbrella. Survives walking in a storm and you can hold it lower due to the transparent material. Strong enough to resist storms.

A great price for the umbrella. Always wanted one that covers your shoulders but not for sharing

I carefully selected this umbrella, going for quality as well as good looks and I chose this one as it claimed it was exceptionally well made and because of its generous size. It arrived in perfect order. I had read that it would be covered in a coating of powder to stop the folds of plastic sticking together, which was true. I washed it off - unless you want to use a powder-covered umbrella, you have to. It looked beautiful. I tested it out and it felt very robust and worked efficiently. However after only one use (a rainy wedding) where I lent it to another guest, it broke! Several of the metal arms have broken at their joints or twisted so badly that even if you get the umbrella open, it is so wonky in shape it is useless. i have had to throw it away. A complete waste of money. The cause of the breakage can be one of two faults; either it was badly made in the first place, but it looked OK when i first tested it; or it was damaged in trying to open it up - lack of appreciation by a "novice user" that you have to spend a good ten minutes teasing apart the inevitably stuck together folds of plastic when the umbrella has been folded down - the plastic sticks incredibly to itself, like cling film, or worse, and takes quite a bit of patience and gentle encouragement to unstick the folds to allow you to open the umbrella out. I would imagine that if you simply push the umbrella open in the normal fashion, the metal arms will simply crumple under the force as the plastic simply doest budge. Useless in a sudden downpour. I cannot see how this umbrella can be sold when it takes such an effort to open it up, and clearly just one use by someone who didn't know the pitfalls has rendered it useless. I'm very disappointed and consider it a complete waste of money.

Bought this ages ago . Wife loves it

Nice umbrella

Ce parapluie est très grand,solide,et pour le moment, il répond à mes attentes.

Très bon parapluie Solide Et on se sent bien à l'abri quand il pleut des cordes

Sehr toller Schirm. Super Qualität. Sehr stabil. Macht Spaß im Regen zu laufen.

Quanto alla comodità non posso pronunciarmi, perché ho avuto sempre e solo ombrelli pieghevoli, mentre questo è il primo ombrello di questo tipo che acquisto. L'ho scelto per la forma, che trovo deliziosa ed elegante, e che ho scoperto proteggere molto meglio dalla pioggia. Ma in seguito ho avuto modo di apprezzarne anche la fluidità di apertura e la robustezza. Davvero un ottimo acquisto.

Contentissima con l'acquisto, è molto comodo per due persone, resistente al vento ed è anche elegante.
