I purchased two of the 38" shades and installed them last weekend. I was going to mount the brackets to the wall above the window but when I realized how heavy these shades are I decided to mount them directly to the front of the window trim as I was not in the mood to try and locate wall studs. Installation was pretty simple. They stick out from the window a little bit so they won't block out the cold as well.  I did decide, however, to leave the old basic pull shades in place, as there was enough room underneath the roman shade, to help block light and cold temps. So far I am very pleased with how they look and seemingly good quality. Of course I can't comment on durability yet. Super easy to use and no excess chords hanging around. Definitely glad I purchased them so far.
