A bit undecided . . . right out of the box the gear part of the roller fell off causing the blind to spring open. Thanks to a super handy husband, he was able to wind it back up and reattach the mechanism to hold it into place. We like the slow up feature, but we don't love that there are only certain spots where the blind "holds" down in a fixed position. For us, the fixed spot is either just shy of the bottom of the window, or the next fixed spot is past the bottom of the window such that we have to fold it back and lie it on the windowsill. We do like the fabric. It is darkening enough for us. It does however crease easily, which happened to ours because of where it stops in the down position as noted above. Because of the price, we probably would buy it again. If you aren't mechanically inclined, fixing the roller mechanism might be difficult/impossible should it fall apart like ours did right out of the box.
