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, especially for lovers of British country life. 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 in the original Scottish Tartan design.

A wonderful part of British country life.
