Great. Solved our afternoon sun issue. This was ceiling mounted outside, on a stucco finished ceiling. We took our time, but installation was easy. We had purchased a similar shade, same manufacturer, from Sam's, but I didn't like the color. The only disappointment with this one was that it didn't have a head rail, like the one we returned. I will probably make a valance to finish it off properly. Other than that, totally satisfied and looking forward to enjoying a shady patio this summer.
