As several reviewers have commented: I know they are supposed to be temporary, but I really like the look. Cutting them to size was a bit labor intensive - I used a pretty sharp kitchen knife, but a nice serrated edge is better for this job. They were easy to measure for and to adhere. I adhered them to the metal window frame and not to paint. I am pretty sure the adhesive would damage your paint job. They are a bit tedious if you want to raise and lower them frequently, but if you keep them up or down most of the time you will not have any complaints. The clips that are provided are cute and work well to secure the blinds.

I have several windows of varying width that face south, so was looking for an affordable option. This seemed perfect as I could cut them down to fit each window. They don't look amazing, but I wasn't looking for amazing - just something to block the southern sun.Installation: 5/5. These were very easy to install. I thoroughly cleaned and dried the windows frames prior to installing to ensure maximum adhesion. After measuring, I easily cut each shade to size with a sharp kitchen knife and stuck them up on the window frame. I then took a rubber roller and firmly rolled it across to make sure it was fully adhered.Stretch: 3/5. Fresh out of the box and hung, they naturally hang about halfway down my window. By the next morning they had drooped down to about 2/3 of the way down the window. It seems gravity takes effect and pulls the creases/springyness out of the shades over time. Not really a huge deal, but if you want to keep them open to a specific level, you may need to adjust regularly by clipping additional folds in.Adhesion: 1/5. As many have warned in the comments, they just don't stick. I haven't even had these a full 24hrs and I'm already encountering issues. As stated previously, I prepped the areas these were to be hung by making sure the surfaces were thoroughly cleaned and dried and even used a rubber roller to firmly press them to the surface. I hung up 5 out of 6 that came in the pack. The next morning two had fallen completely and, halfway through the day, I noticed two more were starting to peel off. I've stuck them all back up and am hoping they stay this time, but I don't have too much faith. I would say you get what you pay for, but for $30 I'd at least expect them to stay put.I would give this an overall rating of 1/5 stars simply because, 24hrs in, they already aren't sticking and if they don't stick, it doesn't matter what they look like or how easy to install them they are. Simply put, they aren't doing their job laying on my dining room floor.

UPDATE: I've had these 'temporary' shades up far longer than I planned and/or expected and they have held up quite well. Yes, I had to add additional two-sided tape in a couple of places, but all in all, my bargain has turned out to be a real money-saver until I can afford what I truly want. I've had to raise my rating to 4 stars.I bought these to use as temporary window covering. They definitely look better than putting sheets (or worse) up at your windows. They are easy to trim and install but I found that the glued part does not stay attached to my window frame. I now have pretty horrible looking bands of tape holding these up. So, they'll be even more temporary than I intended. I also found that without the clips securing the bottom, the shades fell out of the window sill and began to stretch out.My largest windows are 53" tall. When I first installed these, they were about 6" short of the bottom, but in a day, the pleats relaxed and they reached the window sill. Lastly, when I opened the boxes, the shades were bent on one end. Fortunately, I did not need the full 48% width. These need to be packed in a box that's about 3" longer.PROS: Inexpensive, easy to install, provide a degree of privacy and look perfectly ok from the outside.CONS: The glue doesn't hold, the shades arrived bent and the length may not be sufficient

I decided to order this since I needed a temporary window cover since our other pleaded shade broke. I expected this to be a simple temporary fix and it is. But it is really cheaply made. The shade is basically regular paper you would use in a printer/copy machine so it's light and it does cover the outdoor sunlight at a basic level. Not see-through. The shade come very long and I made the mistake of not cutting them early enough before the shade began to straighten. If my windows were really long this would still be a problem. thankfully since they are short I was able to cut enough off that it doesn't cause weight to be pulled downward.Also the adhesive tape that it comes with didn't hold long enough for a full night. The shade began to fall and I had to desperately keep it in place with some duct tape. The duct tape worked.Pros: It looks nice. Nobody would tell it's paper until they touch it. It's lightweight and simple looking.Cons: It's printer paper that begins to unfold in time. The included tape doesn't work.
