Shades arrived promptly, well packaged and cut perfectly to specifications. Color true to expectation. Owing to unexpected life circumstances, was delayed in installing, but ultimately found installation to be relatively easy. Was fortunate that previous window treatment (pleated shades), had holes in frame that perfectly aligned for new bracket/holders. It might have been a bit more challenging if starting from scratch. Very pleased with lift mechanism thus far.

Easy operation
These shades operate more easily than the cellular shades they replaced, in fact that's why I replaced them with these. One of three of the cellular shades failed completely so I only changed the one. I got so attached to the the replacement I decided to splurge and replace the other two.

Take up mechanism poor
We've bought these pleated shades for all the windows in our home. They look and work great but unfortunately, last only about 3-4 years. Even with careful lowering and raising, the take up mechanism prematurely fails.

Exactly As Described - Beautiful, Simple, Good Quality
Ordered and installed two of them, and liked them so much so I ordered two more for other windows. My only caveat would be that the installation instruction diagrams are very small. The parts and instructions are deceivingly simple. The brackets and the handle truly require VERY firm pressure to snap the blind/shade header into the brackets once they have been measured and screwed into your window frame (for inside mount installation). I thought I could almost break them but they are sturdy. In order to snap them into place, apply more pressure on the lower/bottom end of the shade/blind header as opposed to the upper/top portion of it. Similarly, the handle requires very firm pressure to snap directly onto the middle of the lower shade/blind bar.

Incredible value! Quality fantastic at 2/3 to 1/2 the price of anything comparable. Sheer white and looks great on my backyard sliding window filtering just the amount of sunlight. Love having no chords as it glides easy up and down. A little challenging on understanding instructions but still able to install by myself in 45 minutes. Will buy more of the same pleated shades for the rest of my homes windows.

This is the third time we have purchased this brand of blinds. We find them of good quality, dependable, easy to raise and low, they stay in place, and look good. The numerous sizes make it a cost effective purchase as compared to high costs of custom blinds.
Install is extremely easy. Only needed a drill for a pilot hole and a driver to drive the screws

We installed two of these shades about one month ago, and they've met expectations so far. No complaints. They do a great job providing privacy while also letting a good amount of light into the room. So long as they continue to hold up with regular use, I would buy them again.

A one star rating for this product may be too harsh as it is based solely on the difficulty in getting the shade installed using an inside mount. The mounting brackets were very hard to work with and a modification to the back side of the top rail was needed so it would fit my windows. The brackets are not rigid enough to be able to snap the shade into them as per the instructions. I was able to complete the installation by positioning the bottom of the top rail into the metal clip that is part of the plastic mounting bracket and then working the top of the rail into place...the opposite of the instructions. Once installed, the shades do look nice and perform well, but expect some frustration if you are planning on an inside mount.

Window shade was an easy installation. Mounting brackets were a close fit where the old ones were mounted. Removing the old treatment and installing the new took around a half hour. Love the fact that there's no more draw strings to cut too short or wear out.

Love these shades!
I purchased 4 of these shades. I am a woman with a drill and not too experienced at using it but the details of the install promised it would be easy so I took a chance. By easy and saying it would take 30 minutes was a bit far fetched for this inexperienced gal. But it was fairly easy. The light that filters thru these shades gives the room a beautiful, clean, crisp look but still gives you privacy. They are very well made and expensive looking. The reason I did not give 5 stars is because there is a long yellow warning sticker on the bottom, rail that is very difficult to remove. I got so frustrated that I almost took them back. I found that if I stood the shade on the bottom rail on a water soaked towel for 30 minutes, the sticker could be scraped off leaving only the adhesive which i then had to work with a cotton ball soaked in "goo be gone" ( I tried many adhesive removers). So all in all, I still would recommend this shade. They truly made a difference in my room.

Great Buy for Renters! Worth the Time to Install.
I'm renting and needed a shade solution to allow light but not enough transparency to see the house next door, or for anyone to see in. My goal was achieved! By following the instructions it was relatively easy to assemble. I would estimate to double the time it allows for assembly but it is well worth the effort. Especially if you are short, assembling by yourself or have tall windows needing step stool/ladder to reach appropriate height of install. Also, pre-drilling will save you so much time! I'm extremely satisfied with the final results. I have a sharp looking diffused light shade which is excellent for reading, and lighting an entire room. A significant amount of time has not passed yet for me to warrant cleaning the shade but my guess is a delicate vacuum attachment for dusting might do the trick. I will definitely be buying a few more in future. I gave this 4 stars only because I'm not sure how it will clean and it's long-term durability.

Very easy to install.
Like the concealed brackets.
Very easy to raise and lower, especially with the center plastic tab handle.

This is the perfect shade!
We purchased these cordless shades because our cat chewed off the cords on our old pleated shades. They are beautiful and we were pleasantly surprised how easy they were to install & raise & lower! We will definitely buy more!

We had a cordless shade on a wide glass window for over a decade. The lifting mechanism started to fail and it would have been quite a lot of effort to replace that part. We ordered this shade as a replacement 8+ months ago and it's working perfectly.
