quality control at mfg site needs improving.  I bought 2 of these shades.  One shade had a splice added to the ribbon trim around the bottom.  The glue job on every joint on both shades was not neat and clean.  Looks like it was assembled in haste.  And the shades have darker areas on the trim which could be stains;   Oh-and please don't fool people by calling these "silk"--they are polyester.  I am keeping the shades because I hate returning things.  But these shades will be in storage unless I find an inconspicuous spot to use them.  Overall no, I would not recommend this product.
