Overall I really like these shades. I like the "top down - bottom up" opening feature. However, of the two sizes purchased the larger one came to me with a 4" long section in the middle of shade about 6-8" from the bottom in which two of the cells had permanently separated from each other and appeared as if would over time continue to get worse. The company was quick to respond with a free replacement which was nice but it too was defective wherein the shade would refuse to stay fully closed at the to of window. Sad to say that replacement was useless to me and I will still have to find a way to repair myself the cell separation of the first shade.
Nevertheless the smaller shades are just fine and I'm impressed with their effectiveness and operation as well.
