This shade was awesome and made with quality!  I read on here that people did not like the blackout and that you could see through parts of it this is very inaccurate.  I ordered the linen color and once installed and pulled down the room instantly got dark on a side of the house that receives full sun.  I am very pleased with this product as well as the shipping/packaging.  The piece was supposed to arrive on the 18th but arrived on the 12th!  The packaging fit the item perfectly with no damage whatsoever.  My husband was also pleased with this item and mentioned that he would like to order more for our house!
