The blind in itself is fine however it certainly doesn"t serve my needs as an outdoor blind. I was hoping to install it in my open porch to offer some shade. The cordless idea works fine if the blind can always be kept at least partially lowered. However, I need to roll it up completely during high winds or risk having it do damage to items on my porch or be ruined itself. Basically I need to get a ladder every time I need to roll it up completely. Just not convenient. I am going to try to repurpose it for use in an indoor window as I just can't be bothered with the return process. I will consider Wayfair all the same when I search for a corded replacement.
