5.0 out of 5 stars Great item, can't beat the price! August 25, 2008
I got these today and put them up about an hour ago - it took all of five minutes. I was debating whether to try them, and to tell you the truth, the review that made me decide to get them was the 1-star 'don't buy this product' review - it described exactly what they were and it sounded like they were exactly what I was looking for.
I live on a street just off of a major road in a very collegiate neighborhood. During the day I get a LOT of sun, and at night there is a very bright streetlight just outside my window, and it being a busy neighborhood, there are usually fire trucks going up the street at night (those wacky college kids and their candles...) As I rent, I didn't want anything too permanent, and I wanted something easily replaceable and affordable in case of any problems that might spring up. I put these up behind my white roller shades and they're going to work fantastically - I can't wait for my day off when I can finally SLEEP through the morning!
They are heavy, but flexible, very thick paper, thinner than oaktag/posterboard but very dense. The accordian pleat is very stylish. You raise and lower them by gathering the amount of shade you want to raise and clipping them with the plastic clips that are included in the box. To cut them, don't use a knife - a simple pair of scissors works just fine, as long as you don't try to cut the entire shade in one fell swoop.
The box of 6 shades was $30, with free super-saver shipping - at five bucks a pop, they're well worth it (I certainly couldn't fold posterboard this accurately, that's for sure!) My roomates will probably use a couple, and again we have extras as well as the lengths cut off from the shades to use for something I'm sure.
They're probably not good if you want to raise and lower them often as I'm not sure how long the adhesive would hold, but even so you could just get a roll of heavy duty double-stick should they come down.
I'm quite happy with these.

Edit: And now it's mid-March, and I've had ZERO problems with these. I raise and lower them once daily and the adhesive has held just fine. "Sleeping In" is now my favorite (in)activity thanks to these.

3.0 out of 5 stars A few obsevations... December 7, 2008
The shades are made from a single thickness sheet of paper with some double back tape on one edge. They are great for getting something up quick and easy, but not for long term unless you never plan to put them up and down much. The problem is that they don't gather up very easy after they have been hanging for awile. The shades can be cut to length with a sissors and a strong pair of hands which ensures a tight fit to your window frames. The things that trouble me a bit are : I'm concerned that the adhesive may stick to my wood window frames when I go to remove them. The shades tend to flatten out at the top due to weight of the shade itself and if you rest them in the lower sill they will eventually bag at the bottom and fall out. You can clip them to any length, but the clips are like clothes pins and you can see the handle part. They should have been more invisible IMHO. Finally, you need to pay attention to the edge that adhears to the window frame. It can be pleat in, or pleat out. I got one backwards from the others and it was a pain to remove and reposition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Redi Shade Blackout Shades March 6, 2008
These temporary shades work excellent blocking out most all the daylight. I actually cut them to size easily myself and installed them under my white 2" horizontal blinds. Whenever I need to block out light I let them down otherwise they stay up and I keep the regular blinds down. Along with a sound machine I put them in a room the baby sleeps in and he naps longer and wakes up more rested. I actually bought 6 of these and have installed them easily out of the way of regular window treatments so the rooms are ready for anyone that needs to rest in the daylight hours. I cut them with a sharp knife on a cutting board and put each one up in less than 5 minutes. I wish I had known about these shades sooner because nap time for baby would of been alot easier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Made out of paper
It is Good in one way because you get so many. Also when they get dirty they are easily replaced but they lose their pleat if wet or in humidity.
