Sunoff Blackout Roller Shades Blinds Cordless for Windows Pull Down Room Darkening Door Blinds with Thermal Insulated Easy to Install for Living Room,Bedroom,Home,Office Bathroom White 23" W x 72" H

I already have really nice heavy blackout curtains on the west-facing sliding door in my second-story living room. They're great if I want the room dark during the day and for insulation in the winter, but a lot of the time I still want light in the room... just not sunlight streaming DIRECTLY into my eyeballs for hours in the afternoon! I've also been trying to find a way to better insulate the window from summer heat. (Even using lighter-color curtains, they still absorb a LOT of heat from the direct sun.) I bought two of these shades because they looked like exactly what I've been wanting, and honestly because they were the cheapest available in the size I need. I installed them today and they're PERFECT!!!!! Installation took me less than 5 minutes each. I have a huge shelf for my cats mounted above the doors so I installed the brackets onto the bottom of it rather than put more holes in the drywall. That keeps the roll up and out of the way of the curtain hooks, too. The provided screws are some of the best I've seen included with any cheap product like this. They didn't start to strip at all. Since I was putting them into solid wood, I only used one screw in the middle of each bracket and it holds fine. That way I also didn't have to worry about getting the brackets installed perfectly square with each other. The screws are self-tapping and didn't need pilot holes for softwood like the 2x12 pine shelf I mounted them to. Definitely drill pilot holes if you're mounting them in hardwood window casing, though. The only slightly tricky part of installation was that the instructions don't tell you which side of the bracket should face front. It was easy to figure out. There's one side with a slot that the metal frame fits into, then the other side has a spring-loaded release lever that you snap the frame up and into. Put the side with the larger plastic lever thing to the front so you can remove the shade by pushing the lever later if needed. I was hoping from the bracket design that I would be able to slide and tweak the positioning of the shade after installing it, but they snap in so tight that it won't move. I had to take the first one down and adjust it a bit. If you're installing the shade outside of the window (or door) frame, pull the shade down a foot or two as you're ready to snap it onto the brackets to make sure you've got it centered properly. Once they're installed, they are exactly what I needed! I'm no longer blinded by direct sunlight all afternoon but I can still see out well enough to watch birds at the feeders. I can pull them down halfway to shade me but still let my pets see out and sunbathe by the bottom of the door. They won't end up blocking the furnace/AC vent under the window (dang cats) like the heavy curtains, either! It's easy to pull them down and stop wherever you want them. When you pull down and release to retract them, they go up smoothly and slowly. Time will tell if they actually help keep the room cooler in the summer and how long they'll last.

This window blind fits perfectly, operate smoothly and gives a dense shaded window. Easy to install and economical.

I love the look of this shade so much I ordered another for another window in my house. It was super easy to install and looks very modern and makes the house look less cluttered. Another plus is it keeps cold out in the winter and heat out in the summer very impressive with plenty of size options.

Super easy to install. Quality workmanship. Very nice appearance! Would definitely buy again.

Easy to install and decent quality. They block a fair bit of light, but not what I would call Total black out due to the Gap around the sides and top. See the pictures, with this mounting hardware, it is simply not possible to get a tight fit. They seem durable, and the price was fair.

i have sun on back of house heating up rooms so i put these under curtains so i could blackout the evening heat and they work good ,,they ar easy to install and come with all the brackets you need ,i did not have a level so i pulled them down held in place and marked with a marker and came out perfect i have 3 inches of wall covered on outside of frame so its minimal light coming in and no heat from sun saves on electricity for ac to cool down ,they roll up easy andspeed of roll is adjustable ,i wish i had bought them years ago ,but i will be buying more for other windows in the house

Was very pleased with these. Installation was relatively easy and they go up and down easily. Hope they lay a little flatter over time but are working great.

Best blinds ive ever bought. These have lasted me years. Very durable. They look very nice. No hardware was missing. They are a very good value for the money.

Very pleased and very well made

having made to measure is great so perfect for my bathroom narrow but long sash window

I have purchased a total of 6 of these shades since moving into my new home 14 months ago, all of them are white 37" wide as all of the windows are the same width, and I cannot believe how perfect they are. So ridiculously easy to install, and the operate smoothly and effectively every single time, and they look neat and tidy and high quality. I could not possibly have found anything more perfect than these. I am very surprised to see that they are marked as 'frequently returned', all I can imagine is that people maybe don't realize there is a measurement conversion from the title to the description and order the wrong size maybe? I have had a couple of short strings at the edge that I carefully snipped of to avoid further fraying and never had an issue afterward, but have never had issues with the rolling up and enrolling, the automatic roll up is slow and quiet and smooth and stops at the top, easy to adjust the height where you need it. If you are looking for something simple and clean and easy to install then look no further. The price is right for the quality and operation.

These blinds were easy to install and they do a pretty good job at keeping the sun out. Although the edges do let light in, it's not terrible, way better than those stupid twisty blinds. I also love the pull down and pull to release features. Plus they look new and stylish!

The blind arrived without tracking in Australia but im in a country town and it was just sitting in the local sub post office.installing was a breeze and its a perfect fit for the window.it has unfortunately got an impression of part of the blind embedded in the fabric.i guess the only thing that could have caused it would be the carton being compressed during transit.not returning the item hoping the impression will slowly disappear
