The blind fabric is nice quality and it absolutely darkens the the room. I really like how easy the blind rolls up...nice and tidy! One complaint is that you can see a bit of the clear plastic clips that holds the blind onto the bracket. I wish they could be hidden completely. I may change it in the future but I’m keeping it for now. I also still have to steam out the few wrinkles in the blind even though it has been hanging for about a month.
