Thank you for viewing this item. I fell in love with this and purchased it new at Disneyland in California, but it has been stored at home without being used. It opens with a single touch. It's surprisingly sturdy for a folding umbrella. A case is also included. I am selling it now to declutter. Please understand that this has been stored by a private individual. If you can accept this, please consider purchasing! Immediate purchase is welcome! Please refrain from price negotiations m(_ _)m
