The shade was installed yesterday.  I am very happy with the look of it and its operation.  I needed to replace heavier curtains at an indoor window in a sunny location.  This is a good fit for the situation at a great price.  I may layer lightweight panels over the shade later to soften the look.  But I am in no hurry to do so.  The color is soft and natural.  It blends well with the walls which are a very light shade of sunrise/sunset orange.
