I LOVED this blind, while it was a bit "challenging" to install, but I eventually got it done, (& I'm a disabled senior installing it alone!!) and was truly thrilled @ the ease with which it smoothly, easily could be adjusted to ANY LEVEL, top to bottom of my window. Seeing the sunrise light the sky in the morning with the privacy covering the bottom half of my window was wonderful - especially as we're shut in due to COVID-19. These little things make a big difference! After just over one year, though, I heard a terrible noise & found the blind laying on my window sill, completely useless. In 12-18 months, this very expensive blackout  blind, I discovered, had strong springs, excellent blackout capability, but used SO MANY PLASTIC(!) PIECES in the working parts, which is constantly under extreme pressure, can't possibly be expected to last, & for OVER one hundred & twenty six dollars? So very disappointing...
