 Great value September 28, 2008
E. Natynski (Wisconsin)
The blinds are temporary so they're made from paper but they work well and I like that I was able to install them under existing blinds. We're using them in a nursery and they make the room as dark as night. Since six come in a box you can also have some on hand if you travel and want to darken a room for napping. I recommend them.
 Great item, can't beat the price! August 25, 2008

I got these today and put them up about an hour ago - it took all of five minutes. I was debating whether to try them, and to tell you the truth, the review that made me decide to get them was the 1-star 'don't buy this product' review - it described exactly what they were and it sounded like they were exactly what I was looking for.
I live on a street just off of a major road in a very collegiate neighborhood. During the day I get a LOT of sun, and at night there is a very bright streetlight just outside my window, and it being a busy neighborhood, there are usually fire trucks going up the street at night (those wacky college kids and their candles...) As I rent, I didn't want anything too permanent, and I wanted something easily replaceable and affordable in case of any problems that might spring up. I put these up behind my white roller shades and they're going to work fantastically - I can't wait for my day off when I can finally SLEEP through the morning!
They are heavy, but flexible, very thick paper, thinner than oaktag/posterboard but very dense. The accordian pleat is very stylish. You raise and lower them by gathering the amount of shade you want to raise and clipping them with the plastic clips that are included in the box. To cut them, don't use a knife - a simple pair of scissors works just fine, as long as you don't try to cut the entire shade in one fell swoop.
The box of 6 shades was $30, with free super-saver shipping - at five bucks a pop, they're well worth it (I certainly couldn't fold posterboard this accurately, that's for sure!) My roomates will probably use a couple, and again we have extras as well as the lengths cut off from the shades to use for something I'm sure.
They're probably not good if you want to raise and lower them often as I'm not sure how long the adhesive would hold, but even so you could just get a roll of heavy duty double-stick should they come down.
I'm quite happy with these.
Perfect!!! August 6, 2008

I was looking around for the blackout curtains, but they were expensive and cumbersome to put up. After receiving these I had two rooms done in less than a minute! They look great, come off easy and really do block out all the light and heat. My only gripe is that the cutting blade really should have come with the shades, instead of having to purchase it separately.
Awesome except for adhesive! July 24, 2008

It's easy to cut and blacks out great. It actually looks pretty nice for just being thick paper. Comes with clips if you want to open it or clip it to the bottom of the window. The only problem was the adhesive. It fell after 5 minutes and attached to a lower section of paper tearing it. Now I only have 5 shades instead of the 6 included. I used clear tacks under the adhesive section and it works fine now.
Helped with my migraine July 21, 2008

I suffer from an occasional migraine. But when it hits, look out! Anyone who has suffered from these types of headaches knows how important it is to lie still, in a quiet, darkened room until the pain and nausea subsides. The last migraine happened just last week and I was so glad I had the foresight to purchase and install this shade. Middle of a hot, sunny summer day, I let down the shade (the clips are a breeze to use), the room immediately darkened and I was able to get through it better.
So if you suffer as I do, you may want to invest in these. They are cheap as chips in cost and I got free shipping to boot.
These shades are a no-brainer to install. No hammer or screwdriver required. And no unsightly holes in the woodwork if you decide to remove them, as with other types of shades.
