Really nice blinds. I have never had this type shade before and low its functionality. It is just what I needed for my large window. I have plants next to the window so want sun during the day, but it is so easy to raise I can quickly get privacy if needed. It was a little difficult to install because the window location but my husband managed it fine. I recommend this as a type of shade to try if you are looking for an easy to adjust shade. Only negative was it was a little pricey.
