In my master bedroom we didn't have a door from the bedroom to the master bathroom. My husband works night shift and I work during the day so it made it hard to get ready for work sometimes. We got this and not only did it make it easier for him to sleep during the day but also we can turn the light on in the bathroom to get ready if the other person is sleeping. Tying the knots was a little difficult but putting the pole through the hole looked weird without them tied. I was very impressed with the quality and how dark in made the room.
