The blinds were more cheaply made than I expected. I knew they were plastic, but easily damaged when attaching the plastic clips.  However, they were easy to install and are lightweight. I got them for privacy, so they won’t be raised and lowered constantly. I am not sure they would hold up to continuous use (raising and lowering).  For the high price of $75 each, they should’ve been better quality. I personally think that price is too high. I am interested to see how well they hold up over time.
