These blinds are awesome for about 4 months, and then one day you pull them down and the whole thing falls apart. I have a cat who likes the blinds up every day for sunshine and that’s literally how they are used - just up in the morning, down at night. Nothing crazy rough. And in less than a year, I’ve had to replace all 4 that I bought. Thankfully, Wayfair’s service is awesome, but these blinds are not if you want them long term.
