THY COLLECTIBLESRainproof Handmade Chinese Oiled Paper Umbrella Parasol 33" Peacock & Peony

Love this! bright, colorful, nicely made and it works. It's waxed so it can be used in a rainstorm. I have not used it for really hard driving rain, it might be unable to withstand it. You will get lots of compliments for its clever design and artwork. The parasols arrive with a slightly off odor which is not entirely off putting and may be part of the rainproofing process for the sheer paper.

The media could not be loaded.

This is not as vibrant as I thought it would be. That said, the unpleasant scent is to be expected (it is an oiled product) and it goes away. When I received the package I left it warm a bit in the sun. When opening the umbrella for the first time, I did so slowly and carefully. it's cute and I will purchase a different design from THY COLLECTIBLES in the future.... possible the Yin Yang with yellow background.

This umbrella is beautiful. It's made out of a material similar to wax paper, and to me that makes it look authentic. It also has a slight smell, but it is absolutely beautiful.

Love the design art work and the “authenticity” of the work... but the paper materials is kinda yellow... And the worse thing is the smell.... I want to display it but the smell was so strong it filled the room. I had to place it in the garage for now hopefully the smell will be gone

I haven't tried it in the rain yet or even the sun. I know when I do go outside with it I will get a zillion complements. It is so beautiful, a real work of art. I want to buy more, maybe use in my garden,not sure about using for that as the wind might blow them away. I love the wood, so pretty.

Beautiful parasol!! Keeping outside til the oil smell dissipates as seller mentions in listing. Very well made. Happy with purchase.

I bought 2. They are lovely but I bought them for my 2 and 4 year old granddaughters. There was no way they would have been able to open and close them. I had a hard time opening and closing one of them.
