Works well
Great shade to darken your room. It says to use a utility knife, which I did but it was difficult to cut a straight line. I had to saw back and forth quite a bit. The ends look jagged. Fortunately you can’t see it. Sticks well to the window frame. The two clips included let you adjust to different lengths. I used it in my bedroom so no one sees it. I don’t think I would use it though in a room where company would see it unless you didn’t have to use the clips. It would be good for a temporary shade if you just moved into a new apartment or home until you were able to purchase permanent blinds or curtains.

Make sure you do a line and get it straight.
These work great in my sunroof. It is metal and I don't have to worry about putting holes in it. Easy to put up.

Very affordable & well worth the purchase
Super easy install. Durable adhesive. Very easy to cut to size with utility knife. I was nervous it would look cheap and tacky but it doesn't. It looks just as good as blinds with zero of the hassle. Very affordable as well. The fact that it's vinyl NOT paper or polyester is also a huge plus. I only purchased one to try it out but have already added 6 more to my cart for every window in my apartment. Very renter friendly

Not room darkening
I bought these to go behind my plantation shutters because the shutters let in too much light. My window faces the early morning sunrise. These are advertised as room darkening. They are light filtering and do not really darken the room anymore than what I had before. Of course I have already cut and installed four of them, so cannot return. Disappointed in the misleading wording of this product description.

Not the shade that the product rating is based on!
Based on the reviews, their dates, and the pictures included, I believe the average rating is based on the corded version that is no longer available. Major bait and switch.This shade was a total waste of money. If you are looking for a shade that you can open each morning and close in the evening, this is not what you are looking for.It’s a piece of thin vinyl folded accordion-style with a strip of adhesive at one end and a piece of plastic at the other to give it structure. There are 2 plastic alligator clips included to pin the shade open. I also use those to pin the bottom of the shade to the piece at the bottom of the window that you use to lift the window open; otherwise it will hang there not covering the window.In order to open the shade, I have to start at the bottom and grab each section to fold it. If I just lift, it just drapes over. There isn’t any structure to make things fold into place. Then I have to climb up on a footstool to clip the shade into place. There’s no great way to do this, it always feels a little precarious. To add to the hassle, this type of clip is prone to shooting off in any direction if it doesn’t grab correctly, which means another round trip on the foot stool.It’s not a good looking item, so it’s not something you would really want to look at every day.For the money, there are moreattractive ways to seal off a window you no longer want light to ever come through.cons:Opening the shade takes closer to a minute+ instead of close to a second like mostHas to be clipped closed if you are using close to the full lengthpros:Easy to installBlocks light

Happy with the Shade
Bought this item to block out sunlight and add privacy to my room. I am a disabled woman and hanging regular blinds was out of the question, so I purchased this vinyl black shade for the ease of installing. It arrived in good condition. My only battle with this shade was trimming it to fit the window. Beware; You're going to really need a tool knife or a cutting tool that can cut through the vinyl and plastic weight at the bottom of the shade. Unfortunately, I only had a kitchen knife and I was cutting and sawing for a good 15 minutes before getting the shade trimmed to fit properly. So, already worn out...I had to reach up over my head standing on a step stool and firmly apply and press the shade into place. Luckily, the adhesive is super powerful and it takes only 2 minutes or less and the shade is holding on very strong. You will have to carefully and patiently adjust some of the creases in the shade because they get pushed in or out while installing them. But they reshape nicely. The two clips that come with the shade are a sturdy hard clear plastic and they hold on to the shade when you need to let some light back in and the clips do not fall or lose their place. Overall, a very good product for simple privacy, sunblocking, at a good price for the value. I've used paper shades before and they work well too, but they don't last too long bc of the material. These are vinyl and the plastic is going to last I would say up to a year or two if they are used properly. Just be prepared & have the proper trimming tools to cut through the plastic safely.

hello darkness my old friend
I bought this sunshade because my schedule makes it incredibly difficult for me to get a good nights rest (nursing school during the week, usually up by 5 AM, night shift 12/hr shifts on the weekends). I needed something that would block the sun out of the bedroom on the weekends when I'm trying to sleep during the day, but that would allow plenty of light into the room otherwise. I'm not the biggest fan of blackout curtains, both because they are expensive and because I don't like the way the majority of them look. This shade is perfect because I'm able to lift it when I want and have full light in the room, or I can lower it and black about 95% of the light so I can sleep or nap. It took me no time at all to put up - I attached the adhesive strip to the wall above the window because I didn't want to worry about cutting the 1/4 of an inch that keeps it from being perfect for inside the window seal, and then placed my curtains in front of it and you can hardly notice it. The one disadvantage is that, if you're like me and bought the cordless version, you have to use clips on either side to draw the curtain up, which can be difficult if there is anything in front of the window, like furniture.
