This was for a bed that overlooked a pond. We didn't want to block the awesome view but our  pillows kept falling into the windowsill. I saw the review on this one and it sounded like just what I  was looking for! It is EXACTLY what I  was hoping it would be. It's only as high as the pillows (just a tad taller) and we still have our view.  It does have really sharp corners so be careful if ordering for a kids room. I was fully prepared for some annoying sticker from what other reviews said but I  didn't have that problem.
