I bought this for my bathroom window to block out the neighbors light shine in our bathroom window. It is the perfect size. Measurements where right on. My husband installed it with the the clips that came with it and he was able to install above the window not inside.  When the blind is all the way up, inside, it filled the window half way leaving it to dark during the day. So it went up over so it still always light during  the day. The the pull handle is light weight it doesn't take much for it go up or down. It stronger and work better then I thought.  While I was waiting for him to install it he hung it on our kitchen door it looks really good with the wooden blinds and look good has a valance as well.  It didn't look good with our colors in the kitchen.  It is a blue, not a teal or green in it. It goes good with the bathroom blue.  It is not a full black out. Which is perfect for what we need. Love it!
