Roller Window Shades Blackout Blinds for Windows Cordless Bedroom Shade Room Darkening Shades Door Blinds with Thermal Insulated Easy to Install for Home，Office，Bathroom W36 xL72 Pure White

I needed something on my french doors that would block sunlight in the afternoon but could also be barely visible other times. I also have many pets and needed something that could be out of the way when needed to keep them from destroying them (why curtains wouldn't work). These were perfect. They were fairly easy to install (I installed on a steel exterior door with very little issue) and they are easy to let up and down. The only negative if you can call it that is that these are doors and when they are let down, they don't stay in place when the door is opened or closed. However, I used a stick on hook that I just latch the clear pull to when they are down and this solved that issue. They really do black out the sunlight. I mainly use these pulled only a little less than halfway down but they are great at any point. The price was definitely worth these and they are barely visible when completely up.

The head rail, brackets, bottom rail, and handle are aluminum. The fabric width is 24. Five. The brackets add the additional half-inch to make it 25 inches. total height is more like 75 inches rather than 72. When fully retracted, the shade hangs down a couple of inches below the roll. The roll itself projects a little over 2 inches out.The fabric feels very plasticky, particularly on the back side. It kind of screams bathroom in a rental or beach house. But it costs less than half of a namebrand, so it has value for money. in fact, the lowest I could find and namebrand was within a few dollars of three times this price. some places nearly double that amount. No telling how long the spring will last. I don’t have any experience with namebrands regarding roller shades specifically to really compare quality, though.

These shades look nice but I haven't been able to install them because they came with the wrong brackets. If you look at the sixth photo to the left in the ad, it shows "c-clamps," metal and white plastic clamps. If you watch the video, they aren't using these clamps; they're using metal brackets that hang down. In the instruction card they send you, they're showing you how to install them using metal brackets, not c-clamps. The blinds don't fit into the c-clamps and when I contact the vendor, they give HORRIBLE service; he's in China and he goes by the name Eric (nobody else will respond). Eric refuses to send the metal brackets; instead he tells you the c-clamps are called "expansion brackets" and that they don't work, then he says they do work, then he says he refuses to mail the metal brackets. So I either have to search for a universal bracket just to install these in my windows or toss them in the trash. Amazon refunded the money.

I like these blinds, good price and easy instillation but the sizing is very frustrating. The 30W is way too narrow, the 35W is too big! I have a standard size window and it’s literally like an eighth of an inch too wide.

Out of five, one came creased. I got the creases out with a steamer! Also, regarding assembly, for the two mounting brackets: I used ONE large screw (from my own supply) in the middle of each bracket rather than the screws the unit came with. (seems like the intention is to have 2 of the small screws for one bracket but it was difficult to get it aligned straight)

Happy with the purchase. The material seem very high quality and the up and down operation work seamlessly. Most importantly it works as described. Will buy again.

High quality but you can’t trim to fit the window…I failed to measure properly.

Read a lot of reviews for a shade in the bathroom…this sounded like it might be a good selection…and it was. Installed in about 15Minutes and it’s a serious black out shade.
