Customer Reviews for Coolaroo Latte Cordless Room Darkening Roller Shade - 48 in. W x 72 in. L

I bought the shade after reading a lot of review. It is real good quality, and easy to install.

An excellent blind for our three season sunroom. Would recommend to anyone.

My main complaint with this product is that the dimensions were a flat-out lie. It was listed on the site as a 72" shade, the packaging says 70.5" "actual size" (I'm going from memory) while the shade itself measures only 69" across, leaking light in from the sides of what was meant to be a light-blocking shade. The installation was unnecessarily difficult - I'm pretty sure the instructions were incorrect about how to clip the thing into the brackets, and it took a long time to get the tension anywhere near acceptable. The shade pull slides freely along the bottom edge when you pull it down which is really annoying.

I'd have given these blinds a 5 if the instructions were accurate. They were for an older installation system, where the bar holding the shade slipped into a U groove (i.e., clamped around the bar). The ones I received had hangers with prongs that slipped inside the bar. The important difference is the instructions' measurements guide would have placed the blinds too low, so be sure to look at how the hanger mechanism works, snap it into the bar (it can be removed again before hanging) and measure from the bottom of the bar to the hole for the screw. That will give you a more accurate measurement than the guide's "2 inches in and 1/4 inches down".
