This is not a room darkening blind, but that was not what I needed. I have a bank of 5 windows on the wall in my living room, and I wanted a nice - sleek - blind. I loved the neutral color of the blind and the flat lines. The added bonus is that it is easy up and easy down. I was SUPER impressed by this. Also - very easy to install... 5 windows took less than an hour to remove old roman shade and replace with new.

Pros: Easy install - easy glide - great neutral color
Cons: no room darkening if that's what you're looking for
