  • Good product

    The installation is incredibly easy! I really like that I can see outside when the shades are down, but sun/heat gets filtered out and people cannot see inside. Only issue I had is the recoil spring (the thing that rolls the shade up) is a little fickle. It works most of the time, but not all of the time.

  • Not suitable for Seniors or Privacy

    I needed something for over the sink, looking out to the street. These were a small fortune. The chain is hard reach because it is too short (and I have to lean across the sink and I am short) and I can only pull down six inches at a time. I found a chain extension but Blindster didn't write down the size of the chain anywhere and for this price, it should have been included. The shades themselves are way too clear. I can read the license plates of cars going down the street and people can see everything I am doing inside when it is dark and the light is on. That's the main reason I want blinds -- for privacy. I can't afford to replace them now. It cost a pretty penny to hire someone to put them up and he had trouble though I don't know what.

  • I have had experience with light filtering solar shades in the past. This order resulted in a pleasant soft filtering of light while modifying the sun's intensity.

  • Light filtering shades

    Easy to install even from an extension ladder. Looks great. I ordered 10% filtering and could have used the 5% but that’s on me.

  • Smooth Sailing

    Easy online ordering, very fast production (they are made to order), shipping was fast too, and the shades fit perfectly. We needed 2 solar shades for a very large sliding glass door, and a south facing window. We measured carefully, chose the color and light filtering (we love that you can see out while the blinds keep the sun out and the room cool). They were very easy to install and they look fabulous!

  • Motorized roller shade

    The shade was just what I was looking for. It blocks the light well and the motor makes it easy fo my wife to raise and lower it due to its position behind a table in front of the window. The shade is well made and is just as described on the Blindster website. I would suggest that the motor end bracket could use three tabs (top. outer edge and bottom) to hold the motor, since the one tab on the outer end of the bracket allows the motor end to slide down. I pushed the tab in slightly to make the motor more secure in the bracket.

  • What a Deal!

    The product is everything advertised and more. Installation was straight forward and easy, even for a 75 year old, they look great, quality constructed and the 3% filtering option was the right trick for me.

  • Looks great and meets my needs.

    Great for what I need at great prices. Couple of things though: 1) There could be better help/explaination for outside mounts for commercial windows. 2)Two out of four end caps had broken clips, but we were able to use it anyway.
