THE SHADE WORKED REALLY WELL. COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO MAKE SHADES MYSELF.  IT BLOCKS OUT THE LIGHT PERFECTLY. THE FABRIC CHOICE MATCHED MY WINDOW TREATMENT GREAT.  THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY CONCERN IF YOU ARE CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLOR TO MATCH SOMETHING ELSE.  IT MOVES EASILY AND IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN, THERE WOULD BE NO CORDS OR STRINGS TO WORRY ABOUT.  I WOULD BUY AGAIN!!
