We purchased these for our bedroom windows, as we live on the first floor and want privacy but also a lot of light to come into the room. These shades totally fit the bill. They do not block the light out so we may add curtains later. We live in an old house so we had to do some work on our windows to make sure the blinds fit properly. So far we have not had any problems with the binds. They work well, have not gotten stuck or anything. Very happy with our purchase.
I ordered two of these blinds to be hung in side-by-side windows. Unfortunately one was white and one off-white. I ordered another one and returned the one that didn't match. The return/refund was easy and prompt. These blinds are good value for the price. Although - be cautioned that they are not intended for long-term heavy use. But they are much cheaper than any other top/down - bottom/up blinds I could find. Perfect for street-level windows - when you want to let light in from the top, but not expose yourself to anyone walking by. Cellular design provides privacy. When you install, make sure you understand how the mounting clip and the shade snap together before you hang it. Easier than figuring out when it is overhead.
So far I really like these blinds. It lets light in and you still have privacy. Love that you can put the tops down. SO far I havent had any problems with them. They are well worth it.
We love our new blinds. They were so easy to install and now that they're up they just look great. I did tons of shopping around before purchasing these and Overstocks price put all of the competition to shame. Now that the blinds are up, they are very easy to operate too. The blind measurement listed is 64", however our window is 68" and they cover it in full.
I shopped around a lot for these type of up/down blinds and wanted something good quality and great price and these blinds more then met that. So glad I ordered them and so much cheaper in price then a lot of other places. Great buy!
I love the top-own/bottom up shade. It provides many options for privacy and light. The cords that show when the top is down were a little annoying at first, but I've gotten used to them. Not sure how they could design it differently. I'd buy them again.
From box to hanging in the window only took about 10 minutes -- and that included removing the existing curtain rod. The blinds are better for situation where adults will be operating them. I don't imagine a kid would be gentle enough to not destroy them. The fragility is not a product flaw, it's just the nature of this type of blind.
Other than the "up" and "down" labels being on the wrong cords, which was easily fixed by removing and re-sticking them on the right pull cords, they are very nice and work great in our bathroom. We can get plenty of natural light and not have to worry about being visible to the outside world while doing what people do in the bathroom.
I highly recommend buying your own screws before installing. I had two screws brake off in the wood before I gave up and went to the hardware store. Otherwise installation was straight forward. Working the shade from the top down takes some getting used to. Suggest not learning to use it in your underwear as it has a tendency to drop down further than you want and then you adjust it back up. Overall - well worth it to have sunlight and fresh air as well as privacy!
