I purchased this blind about two years ago and it continues to work well. It was a bit difficult to put together, and especially adjust, due in large part to a lack of clarity in the included instructions. But it has continued to operate (no breakage or bends) over the entire span of ownership. It looks great in the custom application that I used it for (a dutch door's upper half). Note that there aren't any side runners for the blind, although if you're handy enough, it wouldn't be difficult to construct them (or purchase some pre-made at a home improvement store).
