There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First, I put up one shade in my older child's room and there was an instant difference. I wouldn't have thought it would have been so dramatic with just a black paper pleated shade. Next I put one in my younger child's room, which gets even more light, and you can see the difference in the photo. The first photo has the blanks over the window and you can see just how much light is coming in. There is still light after I put up the shade, but it's much less and there are no blankets up! There would probably be even less light if I spent a little more time in cutting it better.
Cutting it is easy. I would recommend using a ruler and a blade to cut all the layers at once or in as few strokes as possible. I used a pair of scissors and just kinda held it up and cut it. It worked fine, but it's not super straight and doesn't fit the window perfectly. I might take them down and use new once since this comes with 6 shades. I haven't used the clips yet, but they seem straight forward. I don't know that I want to use them in the kid's room because they might pull them off and either put them in their mouth or lose them.
If I have a need for more shade I will not hesitate to buy these again.
Update: I've had these for about 2 weeks now. They still work great, but the double sided tape doesn't hold up very well. I've found it has fallen down every 2-3 days. The clips seem to make it fall down more, my guess is the extra weight. I'm going to try using velcro so I can take them down completely if I need to. One note I didn't make before was the the shade didn't go completely down to the bottom of the window without pulling on it. After being up for a few days it does stretch out to the bottom of the window. The only other comment is that you need two hands to put this up and put the clips on it. It's not a bad thing, but you can't do it with a baby in one hand. Overall still a great product.

I used a kitchen knife and cutting board to ensure the cut was even (since a scissor would've been annoying). Super easy to cut this way.
They work exactly as described and allows us to sleep in even after sunrise. They are definitely more paper-y so not sure how durable they are long term or if you touch them after washing your hands. But we've used them for 3 months and they have been great.
I removed 3 of them to another set of windows since we ended up getting curtains for the bedroom, and the adhesive removed perfectly and I was able to re-use them on different windows.
The clips that arrive are a little flimsy, but work well for "opening" the blinds.
Would definitely recommend and have already recommended to some friends. Annoying to constantly open and close the blinds, but perfect for light coverage and privacy.
The installation is unforgiving. You must wipe down the windowsill surface with a wet cloth and dust it. If there is any dust/debris between the adhesive and your windowsill, they will wilt and tumble off at an inopportune time, like when you are changing. If done right the first time, they will last a good while.
They are suited for windows you do not care about opening / closing. The wind and pressure difference from the outside will cause the adhesive to fail, unless you can secure them to the window. Which I cannot.
The manufacturer provides alligator clips to secure the curtain at different heights on your window, but they do not work with my windows. So effectively they are all or nothing, I can’t adjust for partial light. Your mileage may vary.
Good for seldom adjusted windows. Go for curtains and curtain tension rods otherwise.
Top reviews from other countries
Others mentioned that the adhesive didn't keep up for extended periods so I decided to put tacks in the top corners to prevent them falling. If you're just going to use the adhesive, I suggest washing the surface first to improve the contact. (I put one up without tacks, so I'll update this review if/when it falls down.. but if you're reading this, it means it hasn't fallen yet.)
Since they're made of paper and can't be washed (only dusted), I'd consider these to be single-use and wouldn't recommend using them in bathrooms or in situations where you'll need to raise & lower them often (they'll likely tear easily if you're not careful) but they're perfect for covering windows (or the tops of them) permanently. You can shorten both the length and width easily with a utility knife as needed.
As they're very lightweight, a slight breeze can make them move away from the window, so you may wish to tack down the bottom corners if this is a problem. Alternatively, you could use magnets to weigh it down (or use velcro.)
If you plan on using these on shorter windows (3' tall or less), you could cut them in half along the seams and put them up with tacks (or double-sided tape or velcro) to get 12 shades out of it instead of 6. Just keep in mind you won't have enough clips to raise them all at once.
One reviewer mentioned that it didn't come with the clips/clamps, but mine did and they look to be good quality and will probably outlast the shades (I attached a picture since one wasn't provided.) While I probably won't be using the clamps to raise the shades, I'll be keeping them to find another use for.
If used for the right purpose, these are an amazing value and look great. Exactly what I needed.
Hope this helps, sorry for the long-winded review.
