They only asked for my height.
Very nice umbrella. I like the canopy color.
Can someone tell me what the benefit (if any) is to a solid stick umbrella vs. metal shaft?
Assuming a sufficiently robust material, the only advantage is that the the join between handle and spine has no demarcation, and thus, will not loosen over time. In a correctly constructed composite umbrella, one would hope that this is not an issue, but it often is, especially with cheap umbrellas.

Lovely umbrella - can I ask the price (for comparison purposes with a Brigg)?
Nice umbrella. Interesting that when I ordered mine from JS&S, they told me it would take some time to source the "right grade of material in navy blue" so I changed to grey (which I'm actually very happy about now). I wonder if they just ran out or if that's because mine is 10-rib and 26".
The disadvantage of solid stick is weight and girth. Traditionally, a city umbrella should be light and slim. - B
GORGEOUS.
It was pouring with rain today, just as I happened to be passing the SAB shop. Here's a quick pic to show that the PoW sterling cap can be added to a solid stick umbrella. The photo is not so good, but the oak colour in the pic is pretty true to life. Best I can do for now. Size is 27" and the wood is oak.
that brolly is lookin right. i'd do a one color canopy though
