Exactly what we were looking for.  Love no cords hanging and the ease of just lifting to whatever height I we need.  They are semi-transparent.  Keep this in mind if you have them on a window in close proximity to an outside view neighbor etc.  We have ours on our 2nd floor bathroom and bedroom but no close neighbors.  If you're right outside the window you'll be able to see through pretty easily (think privacy for showering if you have a glass enclosure or getting dressed/undressed etc).  Well constructed and easy to hang.
