This is the second time we've purchased these shades because we were so happy with them in our bedroom.  We purchased them for a guest room that previously had bamboo roman shades that didn't do a lot to keep light out in the morning for guests sleeping over.  These do a lot better of a job, and are much easier to lift up and down, without having any cords to worry about keeping away from the kids.  They are very easy to install and also provide a nice neutral backdrop for any kind of panel curtains or valances you might want to use.
