My husband and I got a good laugh out of this. We spent an hour getting the hooks in the right location for this 96 inch shade, installing with the shade rolled up. When we unfurled it...what a shock. This is useless at light filtering and not one bit of privacy. The term "light filtering" in indoor shades infers "privacy." This is pretty silly. We used to order these in the past, and they were just wonderful nice thick bamboo shades. I'm so disappointed.

Useless
Shade blocks very little if any direct sun. So disappointed. Would have returned the 2 we purchased, but didn't hang them up until 2 months after purchase.

Measure first, pre- drill holes then screw in hooks & hang.

Perfect Porch Shade!
Love it! Fits perfectly in the area of my porch that I wanted to hang it in. I like that it’s lightweight and still allows some sun to peek through each of the thin driftwood sticks. It goes well with the rustic boho look of my porch — see my attached picture for reference! I purchased the 48” size. I recommend this!

Exceeded my expectations
I needed blinds for the two windows in the front of my house. We have western exposure and the sun really beats on the front of my house for about 3hrs a day. I needed something that would filter the sun yet still let in some light. These blinds are perfect! And the color is perfect, too! I love them so much that I ordered more!

Shade looks very nice and quality made. Everything we expected. The clips that hold the roll up are thin pieces of plastic, so instead I will use a small bungie cord on each end. Otherwise, we are completely satisfied.

Blind itself is OK, nothing great, nothing poor. HOWEVER, the method of securing blind in any position other than fully open or fully closed is unworkable for an eight foot blind! You need to hold the blind in position, then secure six (6!) little plastic clips to two different cords at the same time! It requires at least two people, not just one! Useless for me--and probably many, many others.

Cheap Inconsistent Product
So yes, I purchased these not looking to spend a lot. But wow. The hooks that come with the set. I put one into my lanai and when I went to twist it in with little force, it immediately snapped off. So that presented a dilemma on how to get the others in. Second the hangers on the shades are not uniformly measured from center out. And they are not uniform from product to product as I ordered three and each one had a different measurement from the center hanger.

Came as expected, fairly easy to install.
Did have some trouble pulling hangers out from within the blind to hang so be cautious with that. But once hung am happy with the product. Note is not a full privacy shade but does offer some privacy and has definitely helped with added shade on front porch.

The 3 shades purchased fit and were installed on the pergola as easily as I planned. And they filter the western sun as well as any shade without being solid. The uniformity makes me think it’s not real bamboo. And beware: the shade length might NOT be what’s ordered. 1 was longer, but better than too short.

This blind is useless.
If you are purchasing this blind for privacy, It is not for you. This blind is completely see through even from a distance. It offers no privacy and little to no shade. I suggest spending your monty on a better and non wooden matchstick blind. I would have returned this immediately had the workers not already opened it and installed. Just a wast of money.

Hi Lester, Thank you for your feedback. This style of shade is a manual roll-up shade that must be raised or lowered to desired height and secured by fasteners. Another alternative you may find easier to operate are crank shades.

Just ok. Keep in mind that this is not a type of material that will be able to hold up in much of a wind. You can cut the reeds with a simple pair of kitchen sizzors as I needed to trim for an exact fit. Strings are very thin. Would not consider it very good quality. I don't expect it to last the season on my lani.

Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We do not recommend cutting the shade because it will damage the operating mechanism and void the manufacturers warranty.
