Mostly love this shade. Sufficient light filter. Darkens the room enough for a nap, but not so much that you'll sleep like it's 3 am when it's really 3 pm. The location for the cords (on the back of the shade) is visible through the blinds and stops shy of the top, which looks a bit odd when there's sunlight trying to shine through. They felt a low quality at first, but so far have worked splendidly.
