Wow $250 for an umbrella? Sounds like a midlife crisis umbrella. Can get a very durable giant golf umbrella on amazon for $50 then you can spend the saved $200 for an oil change for your Ferrari.

Why no hickory or other wood options? Always chestnut and flames maple. Switch it up next drop please. Would love this with the hickory option.

can someone explain to me what is the difference between a tube, solid, or stick umbrella?

jersey_boyA tube umbrella is made from a piece of steel tubing. The inside is hollow and therefore not as strong as a solid core. A tube umbrella is also easier to make "automatic" which means the push of a button opens it. A solid umbrella has a stronger core which means it will last longer and can take more weight than a tube core.
A Solid stick umbrella uses a thicker, solid wooden stick as the core, meaning it won't deform (bend) nearly as easily as any metal, and should be strong enough to support use as a light walking assist.
Fox umbrellas are pretty much the best out there, they have nicely finish wood accents with strong metal pieces where necessary. My Fox Manual Tube umbrella lasted me over a year before it finally broke. It broke because I spun it too hard trying to shed water, not because of wind or heavy rain.
If you just want an umbrella to protect you from rain, buy 4 per year of the cheap chinese made plastic/fiberglass ones at 20$ each. Trust me, they'll break often enough that you'll want to have a spare on hand at all times.
If you want a stylish umbrella, that has a good chance of lasting much longer, get a Fox tube umbrella. ( I purchased one on an earlier drop) If you want a stylish combination umbrella/walking stick that can last years, then this is the one.

Sir, there are Gentlemen, and then there are those who look appropriate holding a cheap umbrella. You must be one of the latter.

Will this drop happen again with a proper wood (walnut, teak, rosewood,...)? I am itching to buy a quality umbrella, but not with a bloody maple handle. What next, a watch box made out of pine?

SkipPpMaple is a hardwood so it's actually pretty good. Teak is nice but must be oiled to keep its red color from turning gray. Teak is also very heavy.

I bought the cheaper one. I am pissed off that they used cheap metal that rusts as connections for their rods. So I have rust stains all along my Fox Umbrella. Would not recommend paying this amount if its possible to happen to this.

Is there any chance we can get the French blue canopy with this drop? I didn't join the last one because it was said future drops would have more/different options.

AmidaTrust me when I say that we indeed tried to secure more options this time around.
I'll see what we can do. Thanks for the feedback! :)
