The panels aren't as flimsy and cheap as some have posted.  It definitely could use some type of pattern.  However, your creativity can turn these blinds into any color, texture you can imagine.  I mounted the unit inside the opening of the door.  Very easy.  Three screws straight into the header.  Cutting was easy and there is ample room for variance.  Just remember to measure twice and cut once.  As for not having a valance, I think I can overcome that with valance of my making.  This product sure does beat standard vertical blinds.  My dogs walked on it as I was cutting the panels.  It wiped down easily.  I was concerned that this product was made with paper, but it is obviously treated in a way to make cleaning easy.  I'm happy overall.  Just more work to make it look better to my taste.
