5.0 out of 5 stars Good Blind for the money, March 9, 2008

My blinds were shipped separately in two massive boxes, so mine weren't damaged. To cut to length, I would definitely recommend a hand saw. I used a serrated utility knife, since I don't have a hand saw. These are not nearly as "light blocking" as many of my other blinds. They work well at night if you live near a parking lot that is well lit. However, during the day they let in a lot of light. You may want to get the block out blinds if you like to sleep in and are sensitive to light. They are easy to install and look great.

I order much from Amazon due to ease of shopping and their Prime program. I should not have ordered these however. I ordered a total of 5 Temporary shades and they came in five seperate UPS shipments all on the same 2 day delivery. Two of the 48 inch shades came wrapped only in plastic. They arrived bent and I notified Amazon who, as always, honored their free return policy for damaged goods. Unfortunately the only way they can be returned is by USPostal Service and it is a pain to rewrap so that the USPS will accept. Foolishly I decided to allow Amazon to try replacing the damaged shades. The replacements are coming in two seperate shipments, one UPS and the other USPS???? (go figure) and could take a week for the USPS one to arrive(so much for Amazon Prime here). So over a week later I still do not have shades I ordered for a remodeled house. CAUTION about ordering fragile and bulky items like this that can not be boxed.

UPDATE: the two replacements arrived today and both were again bent and had to be returned. Those replacements were also sent without any protection other than plastic wrap and thus both were damaged in shipping.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for a baby room, October 23, 2008

Works great - really darkens the room. Easy to trim/install. Looses 1 star as the peel-and-stick pads used to attach the shade to the top of the window came off after 1.5 months. They actually detached not from the window, but from the shade itself. I guess this is that "temporary" part of the product name :)
