Great item can't beat the price!

I got these today and put them up about an hour ago - it took all of five minutes. I was debating whether to try them and to tell you the truth the review that made me decide to get them was the 1-star 'don't buy this product' review - it described exactly what they were and it sounded like they were exactly what I was looking for.

I live on a street just off of a major road in a very collegiate neighborhood. During the day I get a LOT of sun and at night there is a very bright streetlight just outside my window and it being a busy neighborhood there are usually fire trucks going up the street at night (those wacky college kids and their candles...) As I rent I didn't want anything too permanent and I wanted something easily replaceable and affordable in case of any problems that might spring up. I put these up behind my white roller shades and they're going to work fantastically - I can't wait for my day off when I can finally SLEEP through the morning!

They are heavy but flexible very thick paper thinner than oaktag/posterboard but very dense. The accordian pleat is very stylish. You raise and lower them by gathering the amount of shade you want to raise and clipping them with the plastic clips that are included in the box. To cut them don't use a knife - a simple pair of scissors works just fine as long as you don't try to cut the entire shade in one fell swoop.

The box of 6 shades was $30 with free super-saver shipping - at five bucks a pop they're well worth it (I certainly couldn't fold posterboard this accurately that's for sure!) My roomates will probably use a couple and again we have extras as well as the lengths cut off from the shades to use for something I'm sure.

They're probably not good if you want to raise and lower them often as I'm not sure how long the adhesive would hold but even so you could just get a roll of heavy duty double-stick should they come down.

I'm quite happy with these.



Edit: And now it's mid-March and I've had ZERO problems with these. I raise and lower them once daily and the adhesive has held just fine. "Sleeping In" is now my favorite (in)activity thanks to these.More detail ...

inexpensive gets the job done

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.More detail ...

decent shade

I bought a couple of these for my 2 half-circle windows on the front of my house. Each room becomes warm in the summertime with the sun beating through the windows. This shade blocks the direct sunlight but will still let ambient light through which is fine for my needs. The rooms are much cooler now with this in place. The shades were easy to cut with a fine-toothed hacksaw. The only thing keeping me from scoring 5 out of 5 was the description indicating that the shade was made of vinyl and was washable. This is not the case or at least it's not the type of vinyl I was expecting. It's more like a sturdy paper and I am reluctant to wash it with water for fear of damaging the shade.More detail ...

Fit for the money?

Great idea Great setup with the holder and adhesive on the shade. My only dislike is the measuring system on the blind. First I measured the window and cut the blind exactly to my measurement -1/8 inch for clearance. Once installed I had 3/4" clearance at the top and 1-1/2" clearance at the sides letting in light. The moral is MEASURE THE WINDOW AND THE BLINDS WITH YOUR TAPE TO GET THE FIT YOU DESIRE. THE MEASUREMENT ON THE SHADE IS NOT EXACT or mine was not. But it looks great and really helps with the Temperature control.More detail ...
