These are so easy to stick to the window frame and if you mess up they are easy to take down and reapply. The only issue is not knowing how long these will stick for or stay clean before they need tossed. They look fantastic and it was super easy to put up. It really makes the kitchen look MUCH better. I think it's a little pricey for what you get but it works and easy to do. The one complaint is that they don't necessarily look like real blinds, which is how I imagined they would look real. These are fabric blinds that look like a mix of paper and fabric. It also let's in a lot more sunlight then real blinds which can be a negative or positive depending. In order to keep the blinds raised if chosen to do so is you have to use both clips and it's annoying to do. I personally prefer the look of real blinds over these but they still look much better then nothing at all. Update: I'm knocking it from 4 to 3 stars. It's been a month and we replaced 4 Windows with these. In the bedroom they fell already and won't stick back up.

The material they use reminds me our scrubs that we'd use on the NICU ward. Although I did get one (ordered four to start) that was smaller in size, had an off white color and was made of different materials, so I think it might be a mix on what you get. So I was only able to use three to keep them looking the same; but regardless, I plan on ordering more. It's almost like a cloth feel with a pattern in it that is soft. Do not touch them with oily, dirty or grimy hands. It'll probably be hard to get out.

I have windows that you slide open from top or bottom and lock in the middle when done, so I had decided that I was going to put two per window just so they don't go outward when closed (bend over the middle part). Using two per window makes them flush against the window and it looks much better. I also put one on my front door which as a window of stain glass. It works perfect.

I will say that if you use the exact size of the window per blind ; as in, 72" and your window is exactly 72", it will fit, but when you have it clipped up and then release, it takes a bit for it to relax and go straight down to cover the full 72", but I don't find this a problem.

To open: just motion up in the middle of the blind, once it gets to the point it doesn't want to do that anymore, just take both hands and fold with the pattern, then use the included clips and hold in place. With the clips, they are cheap so they won't hold all of the blind, if you move it around a lot, (like if it's on a door) but if you keep it still, they've held for me in place. If the clip comes apart (which one did for me) it's an easy fix; just snap the clip back onto the aluminum piece and you're done. If you break the actual plastic, well you can replace it with something else.

To Close; just take off the clips and let it fall or help it down. I then clip the clips at the bottom (to help it relax) and so they aren't lost.

I also have three cats and I was really concerned with their nails and the love of a great jungle gym, but so far, they haven't done that (maybe they've out grown it or decided that they didn't want to get time out at anymore.. they've ruined many window curtains and coverings) So, so far, it's working and they're nice :)

I was a bit skeptical about buying a cheap shade with no cord to open it, just clips.

My purpose was to buy something cheap to out on my small kitchen window. I wanted something thin enough to let light in but thick enough to keep my neighbors from seeing into my house. I did not need anything super fancy and wanted something easy to install since this was directly over my kitchen sink and the space around it was very slim.

Upon taking it out of the package, I was happy about how thick it actually was as I was expecting it to be flimsy.

I will say, however, actually cutting it was the worst. Unless you have a sturdy, sharp knife, cutting it is a pain. Though you cannot tell while looking at it, one side is very frayed from the knife.

This shade looks fantastic and it was a great addition to my kitchen. The sticky top stayed where it is supposed to and even though it gets weighed down at the end, (my window is about half the side this shade allows for), the pleats still look very clean.

I like 'em. They look more like cloth than paper so they are not obviously cheap looking. They take two minutes to put up (although that tape is going to leave a big mess when I have to pull them down) and when they get dirty, I can just replace them. They are a great option to put up while you decide what kind of nicer blinds or curtains you might want, or to just keep up if you don't really care like me.

I needed these in a bedroom on a second floor where I have white curtains. I needed something for added privacy at night when I have lights on. This did the trick! I don't like to block the light but I needed privacy in these windows. Worked like a charm. Just make note that these are very long if you happen to have big windows like me. I opted for privacy film (that sticks onto the glass) for the bottom half. Looks nice.
