I seriously love these! Replaced some old corded horizontal blinds that were broken. I really appreciate the option of having just the top. Of the window open because I live at ground level and people can walk by and see inside but maybe I want some sunshine with my privacy. Also, the fact that one side is white while the other side is tan makes me happy because I wanted shades that wouldnt upset the HOA by being anything other than white... But I get to have my tan color, too! And it was easy to install, so thumbs up for that.
