Redi Shade No Tools Original Light Filtering Fabric Shade - 1 Pack

We LOVE these shades. Even better than the $40+ shades/blinds. Our cats ripped destroyed our previous blinds and we needed cordless blinds. These are perfect in every way: 1. They let light through! It's no longer as dark and dingy in our apartment during the day - and evening for that matter. It really IS light filtering! I doubted this quality, but I'm overjoyed with it. 2. People can't see in! And you can't see out. Great light with complete privacy. 3. Inexpensive! For $12, I recommend this over any other shade/blind, expensive or not. 4. SO EASY to install! We just eyeballed how long we needed, cut about 2-4" off with a kitchen knife (scissors would have cut unevenly because of the thickness), then peeled off the top and stuck in to the top of the windows. It hasn't fallen, no part has come un-stuck, no problems. 5. CAT FRIENDLY! Since you hold these shades down with 2 clips, the clips will give before the cats can mess up the shades in any way. I've seen one shove his head through the side and the clip popped off, instead of damage being done to the shades. 6. The stretch after the first few uses. I clip these up in the morning, and down at night...we clip the bottom "slat" of the shades to the thin part of the window (the part where you would slide your fingers either way and unhinge the window to open the window), and it works great! You do need to clip just the bottom part or we've found that it won't stay because it's too thick for the clip otherwise. Overall, we're super stoked on these shades/blinds! Highly recommend to anyone, especially since you can cut them however you want them!

I LOVE these shades. I have two dogs and several cats and was constantly replacing curtains and blinds due to the animals playing with strings and literally chewing holes in the curtains. They have been installed now for over a month and I have had no issues at all. These shades were a temporary fix until I could replace the window treatments, but I like the look of these and they have held up well so I am keeping them up. I just added a decorative valance and it looks great. Super simple to put up - I used a bread knife to cut through the material (after measuring twice to make sure I was accurate) and I was surprised at how easy it was to cut. I wiped the area with alcohol, removed the tape strip and stuck them to the window casing. The only 'con' after a month is the little plastic clips are not very decorative and in a window with a larger width, more than two clips are necessary to hold the blinds as the clips occasionally pop off due to the thickness of the blind once raised and they tend to buckle a bit in the center. Also as other reviewers have commented the length is as stated, but because it's an accordion style shade, it really is/seems shorter. I use the clips to attach to the bottom lip of my smaller windows at night/when I want to 'close the shades' and that works fine, but the larger picture window does not have a lip. For the first few nights, once the shades were closed, I weighted the large shade down by clipping two heavy magnets to the bottom of the shade (the only thing I had quickly on hand that the clip would accommodate - I am sure there are many household objects that can be used). It only took two or three nights for the shade to drop to the bottom of the window by itself.

Hmm, this product has mixed reviews and I can see why. Personally I would give it 3.5 stars if I could, but since they were cheap, easy to install and look nice, I'll push it to 4 stars. It is made of a very thin fabric/paper material that I was concerned about at first, but it seems to be holding up! I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars for shades, and didn't have time to go through the trouble of installing them. This was a good find, and it has a decent look! PROS: -Customizable: I bought 3 of the longer ones and cut them up to cover my four windows. -Style: It gives my room a clean and modern look. Was going to buy curtains but the fact that they pop out of the window made the room feel smaller -Not noticeable: This doesn't seem like a compliment, but for window shades I really do prefer that they are not as obvious. The material looks good enough where they don't like shabby, but not so amazing that someone would compliment them... If that makes sense -Cost: This is the BIGGEST pro on this list. I saved so much money, and it was very low hassle for me. CONS: - Durable? I'm not sure how durable these shades will be. A review mentioned they had a hard time getting these shades out and that the tape peeled the paint. I had the opposite problem. When I first put them on, they fell off the next day. I tried again and pushed them up and held them while smoothing it out. Its been 2 weeks now, and they are still sturdy, not going to try to pull on them any time soon though.... - Thin- They let a lot of light in which I like because it brightens up my room. Not so great when I'm trying to sleep in but honestly it lets in a beautiful soft light, so its not tooooooo bad. Overall, if you're in a band and looking for a quick fix, these will do the job. I'm having a good experience with them so far, and just glad I could cover my windows without spending an exuberant amount of money.

Update: 6 months up and still stuck as strong as the day it was put up. No complaints. I purchased this to replace an old yellowed paper blind I had up that was 'bout to meet Mr. Trashcan. It was to cover a small window in the basement that just wasn't worth the hassle of putting curtains or real blinds on. The pkg arrived quickly. It was super easy to get up and took me all of 5 minutes. Adhesion was great, have not had any issues with the blinds remaining up. Paper is relatively thick and won't tear easy. The clips are pretty cheap looking but they won't be used by me. My issue is: a little less than half of the blind is unusable for me because of the size of my window. What's remaining after trimming is too small to use later on, on this same window. But it's enough product to feel like I'm throwing away my money. It would be great if this product came in a variety of sizes. Sidenote: you can get these for less than 1/2 the price in-store. Convenience really does cost money.

Must buy

Wow.. ! I love these easy to install blinds, they bounce back and are so easy to cut with an axacto knife to size. I will be ordering more soon.

Brilliant for a short term (or long) solution to privacy in your windows. We ordered them as have been decorating and aren't sure what curtains to have yet. I ordered some for my mum's kitchen window and she loves them. Easy to put up.

Excelente opción para quien necesita una persiana fácil y sencilla de usar. Se ve bonita y funciona. No es elegante, pero se ve bien.
