I purchased this shade for my new home; specifically for my living room and dining room areas. They are great for allowing light in, but keeping your privacy. I use them differently during the day. I open the top during the day when we're not home (no one can see in) and then I open the bottom when we're home so we can see people coming. 

Delivery was on time and there were no damages to the items. I would recommend these to family and friends.
