Update 7/6....by reading my review Wayfair rep, Brittany, was in touch and extremely accommodating with dealing with the fade issues....the service recovery was excellent and will certainly keep me as a Wayfair customer.  Thank you!


Fast shipping.  Contacted manufacturer with a question an they sent updated instructions.

Installation was difficult.  It took several hours between assembly and installation.  Very heavy item to be intalling 12 feet off the ground!  Once up, it works quite well and really adds shade to a very sunny sitting area!

We purchased navy blue.  Installed in May, it is now July and we are VERY disappointed in the fading of the valance.  We keep it closed most of the time.  The valance has faded from the beautiful crisp navy to a faded purple-y color, in 2 months. 

I would reservedly recommend, knowing it is challenging to put together; BUT, for an item intended to be in the sun, the fading is very disappointing.
