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.

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 :)

You can hardly tell the difference from my custom blinds. I cut them to the exact dimensions (blind comes with a handy plastic cutting guide)of my window. Easy, affordable, functional, and beautiful. They look better than the old (expensive) blinds. Excellent product for the money.

I was really surprised by this shade. It didn't quite fit the window but was easy to trim down wit ha box cutter. The raising/lowering mechanism is better than I expected for the price. This should last us until we can find the drapes we really want.

This is such a great price for this shade. It really darkens a room and it is so nice. I just love it. Looking at the other reviews, I see where some of the customers stated that this shade did not come in a box, I cannot believe that, but mine did. The shade was in plastic inside of a sturdy box. It was not damaged at all. I will order another one, but in a different size if they have it. You can't go wrong with this shade. GREAT bargain.

I am using these for window treatments in a new house I am remodeling. These are very well made and look great! As good as the mega buck pleated ones at Lowe's etc. For the money, awesome.

I bought this shade because my neighbor insists on leaving his back porch light on all night. Hence, my bedroom is never dark even with the curtains shut. I rent my home and don't want to spend a lot of money for a temporary fix. This shade is easy to install. I had it up in less than 5 minutes. It looks great and is easier to clean than traditional blinds.

I rent a house and did not want to spend alot of money on shades and these are AMAZING!! They look great and are durable! They are holding up against a kitten and a boy.

This shade does what it says, it darkens your room! It conveniently pulls up and stays up. I would only recommend getting stronger double sided tape to hold it up on your wall.
