Thai Magic Blinds (72 in. x 84 in.)

Rating

I was looking for a window covering for my sliding door that I could close halfway to three quarters of the way down, it also goes all the way to the floor if I need it to. This is a very well made shade and I love the color (green), it goes well with my decor. I had a blind that went sideways with panels. I removed the panels and metal bar from the support bar and this new blind slipped straight through the support bar. I use the blind with the valance I already had, VERY SATISFIED with my purchase.

I was psyched about this- because it matched my room and seemingly had all the qualities I wanted. However, it fell on me yesterday- and a piece of it fell off. Make sure you secure it as tightly as possible- and realize that you will be pulling down hard on it twice a day...

I'm very pleased with these shades at their price point. I have large windows and had been expecting to need custom window coverings before finding these. My windows already have blinds, but a lot of light bleeds in through them in the morning. These shades successfully filter the vast majority of the remaining light-- there's a little bleed through during the height of the day and along the edges.As far as hanging and usage, my experience matches those of some of the other reviewers: the shades are heavy and should be put on sturdy, well anchored curtain rods. And, there are three separate strings for raising / lowering (one for each edge and the middle) that you have to be certain to grasp together

Excellent value. Much heavier than I expected. Picture looks plain but mine has a very nice texture. Mine is in linen colour and is closer to a warm wheat shade. I live with INTENSE sun glare all year. With the snow, the sun's reflection is almost blinding in the house and the blind does a great job at keeping the bright glare out. I had no trouble with the pull cords, you just pull them together like any blind. They work smoothly and are very easy to adjust. Instead of cutting the blind for a center support, I turned the center hook horizontal and the center of the blind rests on the hook.

I think you get a lot for your money but we ran into a problem. First these a well made and heavy so get yourself a heavy duty curtain rod. I would recommend at least a 1 3/8" or more in diameter. These rods come with center support but the curtains do not have an access opening for the rod support, it it really coulld use one to keep from sagging in the middle. I made a simple retangular opening for the support. I folded the edges of the opening inward and used fabric glue to make the opening neat. (you can't really see it however).The look is excellent and sophiticated and once you get the hang of it they open and close without a problem.
