What an excellent idea! A walking stick, a seat and a rain umbrella all in one! Maximum stability & well-thought-out construction, all parts of this seat umbrella are made in Europe! This umbrella makes a perfect gift. The handle is made from genuine leather and is convertible to a seat. The very strong shaft is made on 20 mm wood. The canopy is made in cotton/polyester. With the Oertel Handmade Seat Umbrella, you are choosing an umbrella that is far more than just an everyday item: a statement of quality, style and durability.
