I am very pleased with this blind...I bought it on clearance for less than 20 dollars which was a steel.  It looks like a high quality blind....and also keeps going up and down with no problems, which is a big deal because I open it and close it very often.  Everyday and sometimes twice a day.  i have bough blinds in the past that I wouldnt even want to move them because it was a huge ordeal eveytime.  This blind is a high quality blind that looks great and works great.
