Customer Reviews for Redi Shade Easy Lift Cut-to-Size White Cordless Blackout Cellular Fabric Shade 36 in. W x 64 in. L

Need blinds in a flash and not really good with tools? Here it the solution for you. You get very nice looking blinds that can be used in the window box or mounted above it. You can cut them at home with a sharp non-serrated knife and the blinds come with the cutting guide and measuring guide built in. There is no mounting hardware required as the mounting tape is already installed and contains the measuring guide on the backing. Drawback, painted walls may pull the paint from the dry wall if you pull too hard or have high humidity environmental conditions. Pros, colors available compliment nearly every room and look wonderful when installed.

We got these for our kid's room and it works great. I used a coping saw to cut it instead of a kitchen knife so I didn't destroy a knife. You have to make sure you don't cut beyond the marks made by the manufacturer of the shade will be ruined. It raises and lowers like a champ. I'm a little scared the adhesive will let go but so far so good. I did have to clamp the unit to the trim since it was sagging a bit at first.

We Didn't want to spend a lot of money for permeant shades since we already have curtains but the sun light was coming in too strong, We purchased Redi Shade easy lift trim at home shade cordless blackout cellular shade, Not disappointed at all it was easy to cut we used a old paper cutter with the big handle, Peel and stick was easy to install, the black out feature has helped to black out the room and keep it cooler.

I ordered the EASY LIFT. TRIM-AT-HOME NATURAL 9/16 IN. CORDLESS POINT BOND FABRIC BLACKOUT CELLULAR SHADE, but I have been greatly disappointed by this product. First, it arrived damaged by the carrier, it looked like it had been folded and cracked. The bright side is that the customer service was top notch, the replaced it in a matter of days. That one also arrived slightly damaged, but I used it anyway. The shade lasted all of a week before it completely stopped closing.

We wanted to replace Venetian blinds that were already on the windows. They are simple to put up I'm surprised that it has self sticky tape to hold them in place hopefully they stay there without falling down. The hardest thing I found was cutting through the cellular Shade with a 31/2 inch blade. The shades work very well andt Would not hesitate to order more I think I might get the light emitting instead of the the dark out.

The Easy Lift Trim-at-Home cordless blackout cellular shade does the job, as long as you don't have kids opening and closing the shade all the time. It stays up with a sticker, so you cannot remove it and then reinstall it. Not as sturdy as a screw-in type. It is a good solution for homeowners in a hurry to put up shades, those who do not want to hire a handyman or drill any holes. I would rather pay a bit more for more sturdy shades that I don't have to worry about -- or purchase black-out curtains.

It is a very practical window shade to block out light and darkened a room. This is an easy to install shade with a sticky back that needs a flat surface above that is about 1 1/2 inches to stick under. The mechanism works smoothly to lift and lower the shades. There is no string showing but the string is between the 2-layer that is sandwiched to block out light, and there are no pin holes for string that can allow light through - you have a complete darkened room.

We bought 2 shades and hung them both on our bedroom windows. The one had a slight sag on one end of about an 2 inches as soon as we put it up but we thought we could live with it but the second day it was sagging 4 inches. By day 3 it would only go up half way. The second blind started sagging on one end on day 3 and on the 4th day it would only go up half way also. We are going to rerun them. They looked and felt like solid construction but the return mechanism is junk!!

This blind is a easy way to block out the sun without having to order a custom made blind. You simply measure your window frame width. Then, using a sharp knife, you cut both sides to the width you need. Measurements are on the sticker that is attached. After it is cut to your desired width, you peel off the measurement sticker and the paper that's covering the adhesive to attach the blind to the top sill. It holds well and raises and lowers easily. It blocks out the sun well.

I was a little sceptical that these shades would be good enough to work well to replace some old mini-blinds. At the price and given the simplicity of the design I thought they might be too "flimsy" to work well. I was pleasantly surprised. Trimming the ends with a sharp knife was the hardest thing to get them installed, and trimming was actually pretty easy. There is a plastic knife guide provided to assure that the cut is in the correct position and that the cut is made squarely to the blinds. Installation is a matter of removing the plastic strip on the full-length double-sided tape along the top, aligning the blinds in the correct position and pressing them up against the top of the window opening. No holes to drill, no hardware to install, no cords hanging down. The blinds have an interior tension mechanism that provides just a little resistance when you pull down the bottom. That tension allows you to stop at any point and it holds the blinds in that position. It also adds a slight "assist" when you lift to blinds to a higher or full open position. This model is the blackout style so it has a foil lining inside the pleats and it really does a good job at blocking sunlight. The only (slight) negative is that the top and bottom bar materials are a lightweight extruded plastic so they will blow around a bit if the window is open at all.

I've ordered these in the past and installed them on many windows. They used to work great. However, the last two I ordered broke almost immediately after installation. One of them won't retract, and the other one hangs crooked no matter what I do (and yes, my window is level). So even though they are easy to install, they don't work and look terrible.

The cordless blackout shade blocks the light well, as much as a standard blackout shade does. the material on the outside is presentable and works well with my decor. the central pivot point of the shade has caused creases in the material, something that I have not seen from previous blackout shades. Mounting hardware had to be purchased separately, something I have not seen with any other shade purchase. Overall, the shade blocks out light well, has a crease in the middle and you will need to purchase mounting hardware separately.

I have been needing a window covering for a window that looks right into my garage and landed on this easy lift 9/16 inch cordless fabric blackout cellular shade. The size I got is 36 inches wide x 64 inches long, which happens to fit the opening perfectly, but this is also a trim at home set up, so you can customize easily. Very easy to install and directions are clear. All hardware for mounting is included.

I'm somewhat mixed on these. We got them for our nursery as spring turned to summer our kiddo was waking up even earlier with the sun. (No need to play at 4:45 am please and thank you) For paper shades they do block out light surprisingly well. Installation is also easy as it's just an adhesive strip. The effort needed to raise and lower is easy enough, however my biggest gripe is that if you don't pull evenly the paper can crinkle up a bit and you have to start over. This fit the bill for awhile, and for what they are, they work surprisingly well, but we ultimately decided to get blinds and black out curtains after about 5 weeks of use. I think if you need something of good value to block out light, these are for you, just maybe not for everyone.

after dealing with cords on are blinds I figured I would try the cordless blinds. What was I waiting for. I received these blinds in a descent amount of time but was worth the wait. After unscrewing 6 self tapping screws and hardware. I cleaned the surface really well so the adhesive would bond well. I couldn't believe how light these blinds are. Luckily I ordered them to the size i needed so I didnt have to trim anything. Peeled the paper off the blinds and stuck them in place and I was all done. SO EASY to pull up or down to adjust the blinds. These by far were the best blinds I has seen in a while.

If you are looking for an inexpensive blind, that you can cut to size, this is a really good option. They are a paper blind and plastic top and bottom. You can cut them to size, they come is color options to match your room. You can pull them up or down, and you they allow light though when down, just not a strong amount. They have an adhesive strip that you use to hang them.

This product is so simple, yet so effective. This is very easy to install and an easy solution for installing a light-blocking solution on your windows. The color is very nice and blends well with our decor. The shade can be trimmed to fit the size of your window perfectly to maximize the light that it blocks. Trimming the blinds is relatively easy so long as you have a sharp utility blade.

I am so impressed with this shade I'm going to get two more for the sunniest windows in our home. I was surprised to see there is only one option to install it ... a tape strip that is supposed to hang flat under the top of the window frame. No brackets are included. Our window frames are narrow and decorative so I either needed to hang it from the ceiling above the window and raise the level of my valences or go to my favorite hardware store and fashion some brackets. Now that I know the fix, I am soooo happy with this shade and highly recommend it. It darkens the room too, so if you're a shift worker, you can still sleep during the brightest part of the day! Dust regularly and only spot clean if necessary and you should have years of happy use.

I li ke this shade.it good looks on my window. it was easy to install also. I think I will buy more for other rooms in my house. my daughter also liked it and may buy some for her house too. it looks like it is something that will last for awhile too, therefore saving me money in the long run. glad to have the chance to get and try this item in my house

I got my schedule changed and no need to sleep some during the day. I got this blackout shade to help with that as my bedroom window is facing south. This worked well. I mounted this inside the window box behind the curtain. Luckily my window was exactly 48 inches so I did not need to trim this to fit. It comes with markings on it that would make real easy to cut to size if needed. Very dark once installed.

These are really pretty blinds or shades that enhance the appearance of our windows from the inside and our house from the outside. For years we've had those plastic-vinyl mini blinds in our windows and we finally replaced them with these. What an improvement. I was concerned about the trimming but that went smoothly and they fit really well. They have a self adhesive strip on top of them and are really easy to install because of that-just trim them and stick 'em up!

I got this Easy Lift Trim-at-Home Shade to use in my daughter's room. She had been using the cheaper heavy paper blackout shades that actually did a very good job of blocking the light. Now I had no problem measuring and cutting this shade to fit, nor did I have a problem attaching it to the frame with the adhesive strip. The materials are sturdy and well made. HOWEVER, there is a cord that runs down both sides of the cells in the fabric, and that cord must run through punched out holes in the shade. The holes are small, but if you use the shade in a window that receives street light illumination, light can come through those holes. We can solve the problem by drawing curtains over the shades, but if you are planning to use the shade alone, be aware that this can happen.

If you're anything like me, you hate hanging blinds and window treatments. That's why I was so excited to get this blind for our youngest son's nursery. The cordless feature makes it safer for children than standard blinds. That was so important to us when considering window treatments for our nursery. The easy-lift feature is so easy to use that my two year old can adjust the blind easily, without breaking it! Installation was so easy! The cutting guide and tape measure along the top showed you exactly where to trim to fit your window. Our window is a custom size, so this blind was perfect for customizing! The adhesive strip along the top doesn't require any drilling or brackets to be installed, but it's still strong enough to without wear and tear. It looks high end and does a great job blocking out light. I can't recommend this highly enough!

I have an unusual work schedule, and there are times I have to sleep during the daylight hours. So I decided to try out this Easy Lift cellular shade because of its blackout qualities. I was pleased that the shade did indeed block out the sun's rays completely-- it will make for better sleeping, and for that I'm thankful. And I appreciate the fact the honeycomb pleats are lined and energy-efficient-- that should help keep the bedroom cooler come summertime. But I was disappointed in a few areas. Even with the handy cutting guide, it was quite difficult to trim the ends quickly and cleanly-- my kitchen knives are sharp, but not that sharp, and I had to resort to using a jeweler's saw to cut through both the plastic and the shade material, and I was left with an edge on one end that was "fuzzy"/ragged. For its price, I would think the manufacturer could include a disposable utility knife with the cutting guide. I'm also more than a little concerned about the durability of the shade itself-- the fabric is almost a paper quality (if you don't count the foil lining) and doesn't seem to be something that will last for years. I was also disappointed there was no hardware included for a screw-in install-- just foam-backed double stick tape-- what happens when you want to take the shade down for painting or remodeling? All in all, this shade doesn't offer the best deal for the money.

This is a great cheap option for adding a shade system to any window. Our home had one window right over the kitchen sink that did not come with a shade/blind system and at the second half of the day would always be hit with brutal sunshine. If I could offer one piece of advice when trimming this to size, cut it at least a quarter to a half inch smaller than you measure. I cut this to the exact size I measured and had a very difficult time getting it to fit flush in the window. The process of trimming this was VERY difficult, though the included guard was very helpful in keeping a straight line and making sure the knife doesn't cut you. I don't know if it was the knife I chose to use to cut this, but it took forever, made a god-awful screeching noise, and probably dulled my knife. Regardless of the process to trim this I am very pleased with the end result of having a shade system. There is no handle or pull-cord to lift it up or down, it's an accordion style that you have to manually pull down and lift up.

I bought two of these for my kitchen. I had to trim about an inch off each shade which was easy - they come with a cutting scale on the shade. It cut perfectly with just kitchen knife! All I did was unwrap the package, cut the shades, and install, all in around 10 minutes time and I didn't even need a drill. These shade look awesome and work great! I’ll be buying more soon – thanks Home depot!! 

I hope I can return it. It was easy to install and looked good when I just put them in. But -- within a few days it started sagging on one side - not holding up properly. I would have expected this from a temporary blind and definetely not at that cost
