This is a cute cherry-patterned Wpc. folding umbrella. After being used a few times, it was stored, so there are a few stains on the carrying bag, but the umbrella itself is in good condition. (See images) I'm not sure if it can be used as a parasol. When folded in the bag, it's compact and easy to carry. The umbrella itself is a good size and easy to use. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items.
