Redi Shade No Tools Easy Lift Trim-at-Home Cordless Pleated Light Blocking Fabric Shade Natural, 30" W x 64" L, (Fits windows 19 in - 30 in)

I just finished installing the shade. It took about 5 min. The instructions were clear and had clear images to assist. A couple of tips (some reiterating those in prior reviews): (1) sharpen your knife, if you have a high quality kitchen knife all the better. My feeling is that if you have low end knives the cutting process may not go as desired, and you might want to borrow a better knife from someone. I sharpened my middle range quality knife just before use and it did the job just fine. The use of the provided plastic cutting guide is crucial for a nice clean cut. (2) As I started cutting I noticed that the distal end (that which will fall off after cutting and not be used) had started to splay and was not remaining compact - which made the cutting harder as the whole shade had wobble to it and was not acting as a uniform solid. Simple fix; I wrapped the distal end tightly with packing tape so it would not wobble and the remainder of the cutting went smoothly. (3) As with any adhesive based item, make sure you clean the surface you plan on attaching to. I have painted walls and I did an interior installation. Last night I washed the interface surface with some general cleaning spray and paper towels and let it dry. Just prior to installation today I gently wiped it again with paper towels to remove any dust that may have accumulated. Stuck perfectly well. Pulled the shade down and goal accomplished. My goal was simply to block visibility through the window as I do not think I'll be doing too much up/down of the shade given the window placing; i.e., it's a privacy issue. The shade does have small open holes in two parallel columns, necessary for its construction, but the light infiltration is minimal (clear sunny sky out there right now). I can't speak to durability (yet) but installation was a breeze.

I needed a way to shade some windows. But it needed to be: 1. Low Cost 2. Easy on the Eyes 3. A specific size 4. Easy installation Guess what? This shade is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The price is very reasonable. In fact, I would have been willing to pay more (but don't tell the seller!) It's fairly white and low profile so you really don't notice it when not in use. You cut it down to size to fit (I used a steak knife...use a utility knife instead!) Once I cut it down to the correct size, I peeled off the sticky tape backing and pressed it to my window opening for about 30-45 seconds. BOOM! I now have shades! It worked so well, I ended up buying two more. My favorite thing about it, besides the low cost and easy installation is the low profile. They aren't an eyesore when not being used. The only 'con' I can think of is they don't block 100% of the light. BUT, I wasn't expecting it to. I need it to cut out the glare from the sun when I'm at my desk. It works perfectly! I would highly recommend these shades. :)

UPDATE (2017 JAN 24): I'm taking away one star because this product lasted less than a year before failing. The spring unit in the base of the device which retracts the cords somehow got messed up and it stopped working altogether. This means the product would not stay retracted in the up position...so it was basically useless and had to be taken down and thrown away. Also, upon removal it left spongy material and glue all over the window frame where it was originally mounted. I have no idea how to get it off without damaging the wood. I want to like this product and, to be honest, I'm considering buying another one that's exactly the same since it did work so well for a year. This thing saved my eyeballs. During the winter months from about 4:00 pm to about 6:00 pm the sun streams like a laser beam into our kitchen window above the sink. Unfortunately, this coincides perfectly to the time(s) I'm preparing and cleaning up from dinner...which means I'm mostly blind during this time. I bought this shade, cut it to fit, and installed it. Wango-tango. Problem solved. At first you might unbox this and think it's a piece of junk. The shade is flimsy plastic and paper, the strings are thin, and there's no obvious way to raise and lower the shade. Oh...and it adheres to the window with (included) double-stick tape. I was not impressed when I first saw it. After cutting it to fit and putting it in place, my perspective completely changed. This thing is exactly what we needed. It's lightweight, it lowers & raises easily, and it's nearly invisible when it's completely raised up. Check out the photos & video. I would buy this again.

I needed a temporary black out blind solution as I've just had a baby and am in the process of moving home. I needed to create a darkened room to help my child nap- I normally just have a regular blind and like to wake up with natural light. It was easy to install, durable as it gets put up and down quite a bit! Only drawbacks are it's a bit pricey for what it is and not easy to get a smooth edge on the part you have to trim to fit. Also just be aware it's not completely black out as light shines through the holes where the string is attached. All that said, if your looking for a temporary solution - it's good, does the job and when it's folded up, it's very unobtrusive.

Se caen de inmediato. Son demasiado pesadas para el mal pegamento que tienen. No las recomiendo
