beautiful. I love it
The final result: beautiful. I love it. It gives privacy when needed, and is easy to put up or down. It is long enough to double up for complete privacy, and clever enough to fold in different ways to allow more light. I absolutely love it.I had to take off one star because of the installation though. I almost took off 2 stars, but love the outcome, so am giving it a break.The size of this shade is exactly as described and fits exactly into my window. That said, the brackets that I had to bolt in added a few cm, basically making my window frame too small to fit the wooden top that secures the shade. I had to saw off parts of it to get it to fit. Thankfully, only the wooden piece that is hidden under the shade had to be sawed off, so the end result remained a beautiful shade.So, installation sucked - I give it a 1 star.But the look is gorgeous - 5 stars.Overall, I'm satisfied enough to give the whole thing 4 stars.

Great quality, functionality & look, a bit sheer but easy to fix ...
I read all the reviews, and I found these shades to be great looking, but too sheer at night. You could see right through with the lights on, so I hot-glued muslin around the edges, marked, then removed the rings on the back as I glued. Then I put the rings back on over the muslin: I made tiny slits over the marked area, pulled up the string from the shade that hold the rings, then looped the ring through the pulled-up string over the muslin. Then I just re-tied the cords on top of the muslin. I reinforced the slits with FrayCheck so they wouldn't fray or get bigger- the rings need to stay on top. You could always do eyelets. It took some figuring the first time, but the other one was easy, and I did it to bamboo shades I have as well. They both look great and we have privacy. I also read that the 72" shades were difficult to raise, but even with the muslin, they go up easily and evenly, not heavy at all. I also had to shorten them an inch on each side, and that was really easy with my power miter saw; just be sure you roll them tight and use thick rubber bands at on each side of your cut; you can't tell I cut them at all. They really brighten up my rooms, which tend to be darker than I'd like. If these are still available when I put windows in my enclosed patio, I'll use them there as well!

Need to Return
I need to return this item but, when clicking on the support for the seller, it takes me to an inactive website. Nothing wrong with the product overall, it just ended up making the room darker than anticipated. (I ordered more for looks than anything). The transparency is not what I had hoped it would be (yes, I realize it's a shade...no comments needed). I would just like to return it.

Ideal but Weak Magnets
Easy installation, I rent so didn’t want to put holes in the wall so got a velcro set-up (holds 10 lbs) and quick rigged it. Nice color and tone to the room. I have West facing windows and work nights so needed that extra darkness to snag an extra 2ish hrs of sleep instead of the original blinds that didn’t block much light.Dislikes: magnets are weak and wondering how long they will hold up before becoming useless and needing extra support to stay up

Easy and Functional
Ordered these previously for my home. Used the brackets. Now I’m in a duplex, a rental. Did not want to make holes with the brackets.. Instead, bought Velcro and attached just above the window on the door. Easy and functional. My observations are that the magnets aren’t very strong with this set. Overall they are a great alternative and happy with them.

Roman Shades
At first I did not like these shades because I found it difficult to get them in the up position, but once I got the hang of it, they are fine! I do like how they look when they are lowered too and there is just enough light in them to give the room a nice feel without being able to see in. I got the oatmeal color shades. My husband (a contractor) installed them easily, so I do not know how easy it would be for anyone else!

I really like these shades
I really like these shades! They fit the window perfectly and keep the heat from the sun out of our bright office pretty well! The magnets could be a little stronger because at times even if you just touch the shade it will fall. But if you aren't messing with them it will hold up, which is just fine for me because we barely touch them. Overall, the shades are good in quality and I would buy again for other rooms if we needed them.

Nice in a pinch!
Super cute blinds...very sheer though, so don't expect the neighbors not to watch you undress at night if it's your only window cover. Great for ambiance in the window and filtering light during the day.

Terrible Quality. Do not buy.
Terrible Quality. Do not buy this piece of garbage. We were told it was in stock when we ordered from Amazon but then it took 5 weeks. Made in Taiwan in December 2019 so not sure why it took so long. This was the cheapest made blind I've ever seen. I hung it up and it started fraying immediately. The edges are not finished, so you touch it, and the thread starts fraying. The so called magnets that are supposed to hold the sections up aren't strong enough to hold - if you happen to touch it, down they come. I was so frustrated by the time I got them up, and then noticing they were already fraying, Took down and sending back for a refund. Probably only cost $5 to make and selling for $60. I wish I had read the reviews before my purchase as I would not have bought it. The material is woven plastic I’m sure. It’s not a fabric at all. Very misleading and Amazon should immediately discontinue all items from this supplier. I’d pay double for a good quality unit but not available from amazon. Again DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE.

Returned for a Refund
This was the cheapest made blind I've ever seen. I hung it up and it started fraying immediately. The edges are not finished, so you touch it, and the thread starts fraying. The so called magnets that are supposed to hold the sections up aren't strong enough to hold - if you happen to touch it, down they come. And the slots for the pieces of metal aren't finished either, so as you're installing it, the bars keep sliding out. I was so frustrated by the time I got them up, and then noticing they were already fraying, I immediately sent it back for a refund. I don't have time to fool around with something so cheap - and it wasn't cheap to buy either!

weak magnets
I love the look and they fit perfectly. The magnets though are not to strong, so they have to be perfectly lined up and not jostled at all or they fall back down

Great value!
I'd buy it again. A bit of a thing to hang and wasn't thrilled with where the magnets fell when hanging but now that it's up and I don't really adjust it on a daily basis, I love the look of it.

Nope.
Doesn’t sit level on any of the magnets. Seams look to be uneven as well as the top flap of fabric.
