Loooooooove this Roman shade & how effective it is at blocking out the sun & heat. We put this up in our laundry room window that takes a beating during the day with direct sunlight (we live in Florida). We have noticed a difference in how warm it gets in that room since installing the shade & it has without a doubt improved. We mounted it inside the window frame & my husband said it was super easy to install. I like that it’s cordless (we have 2 young kids in the house). You literally just pull it down & then gently pull it again for the shade to go back up. We have this in the color white - it has a nice, subtle crosshatch pattern in the fabric. I highly recommend this Roman shade!
