Received a couple of weeks ago and hung in my laundry room because the sun shines directly in that window in the afternoons. Hung it there to help block the sun.  It blocks some light, but definitely not "Room Darkening" as expected from description. It is a great shade and does not require me to turn on the light when I have it closed as expected with other room darkening shades and drapes I have utilized in other rooms. I like what it does and gave 4 stars only because the name is a bit misleading. This is also why photos were uploaded.
