Like the shades, not the pull strings.
The shades came out good, except that I forgot to ask for bungee cords on one of them. What might have is with the plastic pull chain. It already popped in half when the connector went through the little pulley device. I had to look for the pieces and put it back together. I was thinking of purchasing metal bead chain if this one fails again. Thank you!

Response from Blindster
Hi Kirk, thank you for choosing Blindster and taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear the shade didn’t provide the level of privacy you were expecting. We understand that selecting a darker color can give the impression that it will offer more privacy, but the amount of visibility will also depend on the openness. If you’re looking for more privacy, a shade with a lower openness percentage may help reduce the amount of visibility through the fabric. We truly appreciate your business and your feedback!

The blinds fit well and installation was easy. They work as advertised. They are more sheer than I would have liked, which was difficult to know from the description. They do filter the light but do not provide the privacy I would have liked. Pictured below with old on the right and new on the left.

Great product at a reasonable price
Arrived in a timely fashion and product met the description. Reasonable easy to install although there were issues figuring out the tension device and the written instructions were lacking in specifics. A call to Customer Service provided 2 videos and a PDF and the probelnm was resolved quickly. I would order blinds from Blindster again should the need arise.

Nice roller shade.
This blind was good for the sale price of 40% off. I would have been disappointed paying full price. The nylon (plastic chain) to raise and lower the blind is quite fragile. We replaced with with a metal one at $35 from Amazon. We did need to modify our stucco wall to get the hardware to fit propery.

We ordered 5 sets of blinds. One was apparently over a length limit resulting in a larger tube for one of them. Looks a little odd when they are all lined up with one sticking out more than the others. Installation was easy. Did not like that the draw pulls are plastic. Hoping they hold up. The screens do their job but they are tighter in the middle making them show a V shape when down. Good for the price.
Response from Blindster
Hi Lorrie, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that the installation process was easy and that the shades are performing well for your needs. We understand your concerns regarding the larger tube on one shade and how it affects the overall appearance when the shades are installed side by side. Larger shades require a larger roller tube to properly support the weight and operation of the material, but we certainly understand wanting a consistent look across all of your windows. Feedback like yours helps us continue to improve our products and better communicate design features to future customers. Thank you again for your business and for choosing Blindster.

Little trouble with the "directions" but all and all very happy with product. Using them on a screened in porch and with the tie-downs they don't flop in the breeze. Was worried they might be too thin but not the case at all

We really enjoy our porch now
We wanted these solar shades to block the afternoon sun so we could enjoy our porch during the summer. They have been very helpful. A part (the clutch) broke on one of the shades when we first tried to lower it. I call Blindster and they were quick to send out the replacement part. Now it works perfectly.

We really like the shades. They operate well and look great. What is also nice is that the shades provides privacy from the outside nt see in - but allow light and allow one to be able to see outside. We are assigninng a 4 instead of a five only because 1) a more detailed secription of the color would be helpful - the shade was lighter than it appeared online; 2) the instructions could be clearer about the cord fastener - it was not intuitive
