Easy Lift Cellular Light Filtering Shades

Loving these window blinds! I installed the first one about five months ago and I love it. Recently I decided to go the same route for the other windows, the best decision I could have made.Installing the blinds is fairly easy. The most challenging part, so to speak, is trimming them to size. I used a large kitchen knife with teeth. Even if the newly cut edge might not be perfectly straight, it looks perfect once the blinds are installed.To install I used additional two sided glue tape to enforce the adherence of the blinds. They do come with their own sticky tape, however, based on reviews, the original glue tape is not holding properly. Therefore, I first wiped off the wall surface with alcohol to remove any dust or oily spots in order to secure the best adhesion possible. After securing the tape onto the wall I used a hair dryer to heat up the tape, then, using a coaster I pressed as hard as I could for a maximum bond. Once the tape installed I glued on the blinds. I am happy to raport that all the blinds are being held into place with perfection. They operate smoothly and none moved or shifted out of place.I am also very fond of the amount the light these blinds allow through. While they offer perfect privacy, there is still a fair amount of light coming through. Initially I ordered one blind to try, followed by two other blinds, then five others. They are exactly what I want from every single perspective, I couldn’t possibly be more pleased.

I am renting somewhere that had zero blinds or shades on any windows so decided to outfit all windows in the house with these after trying them in a couple rooms.They are great! They are very easy to open and close and look nice. They let in just the right amount of light when closed all the way. I have had a few people comment that they look very nice compared to other less than permanent blind options they have experienced. On top of all of that the installation system was very clever and made it super easy to measure and cut.From my experience if you do not really clean your window frames they will not stick well and eventually begin falling. The window frames I cleaned thoroughly are still up with their original adhesive, but some I spent less time on I ended up using a more advanced 3M double sided tape and it has been up since. The 3M tape applied and stuck well even after one or two of them had fallen multiple times, so it can be worth just trying with the original adhesive to see if it will work for you.If you use the wider ones be careful to make sure you pull evenly on each side, if you don't you can end up with an uneven height across the blind bottom. However that is remedied by pulling more on the opposite corner.Overall, very happy with these and they have served their purpose perfectly!

The adhesive isn’t strong enough. I had to use a different double sided adhesive tape.Other than that? Great product

03/05/18 Update: the shade that was replaced broke AGAIN. The unreliability of these shades forces me to change my original review from 4 stars to 1. While the idea and price are great, the product just doesn't deliver. I can't reccomend these shades. Just spend a little extra for quality.11/01/17 Update: It's been almost 4 months since I've ordered these and I have ordered more. Unfortunately, one of the blinds did break so I contacted RediShade because they state that they will "run through a brick wall to make things right" if they're customers are dissatisfied in any way. They responded to my email within a few hours and sent a replacement the next day! I am very happy with this company and the fact that they actually do stand by their product. I will definitely be using redi shade for all of my window treatments.Just received and installed this today. So far, I love it!! We cleaned the top trim of the window really good and that thing is NOT coming down. For the reviews that say it's not sticking, I have to assume they didn't clean the trim because that baby is STUCK on ours. It would take some serious work to get it off. Cutting to size was a piece of cake and install was even easier. The reason im giving 4 stars is because I ordered what I assume was an "open box" item where the description assured no damage to the actual item but just that the original packaging had some damage. Unfortunately the blinds did have some minor damage, a small dent on the top plastic and a tiny crack on the side but I just made sure the damaged side was facing inward so it will never be seen. Amazon could maybe do a better job inspecting open box for a more accurate description. Other than that, I am EXTREMELY happy with this purchase and would absolutely reccomend it to others.

These shades are great for temporary use. They are easy to install and look very nice. But the adhesive only lasted about 3 months, even with adding Gorilla tape. The other issue I had with them is the inconsistency of the length. Ordered 4 and 1 was about 4 inches too short.
