Very happy with these shades. We have a costly custom version in our living and dining rooms, and these were a much better deal for the money. Our house is old and the window openings aren’t perfectly even, but we still did inside mount. We sized down 12 and 14 of an inch. I’d suggest the full 12 inch size down the 14 was too close for comfort. We ordered the cream and noticed that they’ve taken on the tint of the light green walls of the room. It makes them look more custom, but others may not want that reflective coloring situation. Overall, we’re very happy. Im just about to order another for my office, actually!
