5.0 out of 5 stars Great shade, February 24, 2008

By	Steph (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This is a great shade. I have bought redi shades before; however, they always looked like a temporary shade because of the material (and no cord). This shade can easily pass as a 'regular' shade. The vinyl (which almost looks like it has a 'pattern') makes the shade look better and not temporary. You might wonder about the 'vinyl' but it's not like regular vinyl (nothing shiny here). My bedroom gets a lot of light and I was surprised how 'room darkening' these shades were. Of course they didn't make the room pitch black but they did a great job filtering out the sunlight and definitely made the room darker (almost as dark as my room darkening roller shades that I had previously). The cord is also a nice touch. It's in the middle of the shade and has a toggle which aids in the 'not temporary' look. These shades are truly peel and stick and don't look cheap at all. I didn't have to cut these shades but have previously cut redi shades and it always was as easy as gathering the shade 'together' and cutting the end with a knife. All in all, I thought they were great and would highly recommend them.

4.0 out of 5 stars inexpensive, gets the job done, February 19, 2008

By	Music Fan Jeff (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I was a little disappointed that this shade does not actually "darken" my room, but since I already have another window covering (standard mini-blinds) they do a sufficient job at further reducing the light that makes it into my room at night.

I didn't find the shade quite as easy to cut as some other reviewers indicated. (I used a standard, serrated kitchen knife.) Because of this, the edges of my shade are a little messy looking. Again, this isn't a problem for my installation since the shade is simply hanging behind my blinds anyway. If I intended this shade to remain up long term as my principal window covering, however, I wouldn't be too thrilled by how cheap it all looks.

So, my bottom line is that this is a good deal for the money as long as you know what you're getting.

EDIT ON 8/11/08:

I just wanted to add that only a couple of months after putting this shade up, the "stickies" that are used to hold it up failed -- this despite me normally not even moving the shade up and down each day, so the only force put on this shade most days was the weight of the shade itself. Very disappointing. I tried to find something to put and keep the shade back up and ended up just using a couple of nails so this thing would for sure stay put. I therefore would downgrade this to 3 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great affordable shade, June 4, 2007

By	M. Moscheck "mikemos" (Seattle) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was really surprised by this shade. We got this size and the larger one and both were great. It didn't quite fit the window but was easy to trim down with a 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.
