I'm glad I paid attention to "actual size" indication...70.5 fits perfect in my 70" window frames. 2nd set came with defective pull string but home depot made the return and reorder process very tolerable. Have only had for a few days but no issues with opening, closing, etc.

These blinds are very nice but on a sunny day the room is way too bright so I don't think they can be considered room-darkening. On dreary and rainy days or at night they are fine so I did have to order a set of drapes to go with them so the room would be dark enough for sleeping in the early mornings.

If you buy these blinds you better buy 3 sets & maybe one will work. I ordered 2 to start with to cover two windows. One was fine but the other didn't have hardware. I contacted customer service who gave me a number to call to get replacement hardware. I called talk to someone who took my name & address. Been over 2 weeks still no hardware. In the mean time I ordered another blind set just in case I didn't get hardware. I got new blinds and the string is broke so only on side will raise. I'm hoping the set that didn't have the hardware will work since I got hardware in the new set. If not I give up. They did refund $8.00 for not having hardware what ever good that does if they can't be installed without hardware.

    This blind was just what I wanted. The only thing was that I had to go on-line and watch a video because the written instructions were difficult to understand. Other than that everything else was just great. The shipping was free and the fit was perfect because I was able to order just the size I needed. I was pleased enough to order another one.

    Easy to install. My company used this and other sizes of this product in some rental units we were renovating and they just felt hardier than the old broken ones we were replacing them with. I hope they last!

    Self Installed Mini Blinds
    I installed these blinds on two small windows that face west on my home. The Cut-To-Width made it very easy for inside mounting. The window area I covered was only 18 inches in width. The sun and heat can be excessive in the late afternoon and evening. These room darkening blinds reduced the sun light and minimized the heat I usually experience on a sunny day. They were very easy to install.

    Crooked blinds
    Hangs from top of window frame instead of sides like other blinds so more difficult to install. Once hung blinds crooked can't correct because holder blocks proper line movements. Worked on it for two hours still crooked. Will be returning to store

    good quality
    This is a well designed blind blocks the sun well easy to use. It's fairly easy to install once you understand how the mounting brackets( work would have helped if I had read more of the instructions ) The color isn't quite what I was expecting it's to yellow than it is khaki.It appears to be able to give many years of use with no problem I will be getting some more.

    Buying online beware
    I picked these up online and had an issue with getting these cut down a half inch to fit inside my bedroom window. my local my local Home Depot was unable to cut these due to the slats being larger than normal and would not fit inside their cutter. I ended up doing this by hand one by one with scissors. hopefully they will get the cutters soon. Out of the box i thought that this product was missing the mounting hardware as it was no-where to be found. as it turns out it was stuffed inside the top track rail. so keep an eye out for it. another issue i had is that the lower section of the string that is used to rotate the slats was damaged slightly and is literally hanging on by a thread. so look over the product before installing. I DO like how thick the slats of the blinds are and how much light these will block. This is why I stated that I would recommend this product. If you can get one that isn't damaged and your local HD can cut them to length.

    High Quality & Blocks Bright Sunlight
    I installed this blind on a window facing the southwest which gets a lot of bright sunlight and the difference it has made in cooling the house from the summer heat is amazing. I'm sure to see a difference on the electric bill too. The blinds really are room darkening with no gaps of light penetrating through at all. The entire window blind ensemble including the hardware is heavy duty made with high quality materials. Three strong overhead brackets are included for securing it safely. The blinds are very attractive and unobtrusive.

    Not Up To Par
    The Vinyl Blinds are attractive, economical and very simple instructions written in English, Spanish, and French. Installation was especially easy when they go inside the window frame. In fact the 54” blind can be done by one person. The mounting brackets are made of metal with a snap in and push the tab upwards for easy removal and cleaning. After the installation I stepped back to admire the work that was just completed (a little pride in oneself) and to test the functionality of the product. This is where you feel somewhat less of the product. Turning the wand was stiff when you opened and closed the slats and did not close completely when you turned the slats upward. It seemed that the top slat was too close to the headrail. When using the pull cord and locking it in place the slats did not rest evenly and with no way to adjust the evenness because they are non-adjustable. In all fairness to the manufacture, I called customer support to explain the unevenness, she mentioned that the product was defective and that I should bring it back to the store for a refund or exchange.

    Grreat blind!
    This blind looks lovely and fits perfectly on my window. It is sturdy and has has metal brackts which securely support a metal top rail. The blind raises and lowers smoothly and easily. It is a wonderful asset to my kitchen.

    Real Nice Blinds
    The 27”x 48”x 1 3/8” room darkening vinyl blinds that Hampton Bay manufactures are of higher quality than you will find from other big box stores. The instructions are well laid out and easy to follow. From letting you know what tools you need, to leveling, and installing. The khaki color looks as if they are real wooden slats when the sun try's to shine thru (picture 2). Even better yet, the blinds can be cut to the exact width you want at Home Depot free of charge. The blinds were installed over a door window, so it would be considered an outside mount. The hardest part of the installation was leveling the blinds prior to the installation. My wife helped on this step, holding the blind steady while I positioned the level on the blind so that it could be marked with a pencil. Follow the instructions, they really are that good. After that it was just a matter of drilling the holes for the mounts and your basically done. Another nice feature is that the clamps are made of metal, making it easy to install and remove the blinds for cleaning. The only problems that we encountered after the installation is that you have to open the blinds to lower the unit and somewhat stiff in opening and closing, maybe after time they'll loosen.

    The cords broke after 18 months of use. I ordered 3. I will order the one that broke again since it must match the other two and just not use it very much.

      One of the blind slats was torn in several places. The product is of very inferior quality and would not recommend it. It seems very fragile and not well made. I repaired the tears in the slat myself rather than going through the difficult process of returning it. It was a very disappointing.

      These blinds are absolute trash. The bottom piece is made of metal, and weights a considerable amount, and the pull chord sticks and barely works at all, so basically the minute they are installed every time you go and pull them up your going to have to wonder if they will bend the top (which they almost did the first time i ever raised them) or if they will just rip the top portion out of the mounting brackets. GARBAGE!! DO NOT BUY!!!
