These are just okay. I purchased these to replace vertical blinds that were difficult to open and close however, these might be even worse than our plastic ones. I struggle sliding these open even with the included sliding wands. One of the screws was too long and did not fit into the mounting hardware securely making installation difficult. Also, they are attached to the mounting panels via Velcro, which is falling off two of the four panels due to poor stitching. If these weren’t already drilled into my walls I would return them. They are definitely not worth the price.
