These shades are great quality! I bought 7 of them for kitchen and bathroom windows. They are thick and pull updown easily. I love that they can be wiped down to clean easily. They look beautiful. The installation was fairly easy once we got the hang of it. It will go faster with two people, but can be done with 1 person. I hope they last long! I will be purchasing more for our bedroom in a few months if these continue to function well and stay durable from daily use.
