Redi ShadeNo Tools Original Room Darkening Pleated Paper Shade Gray, 36" W x 72" L, 6 Pack

These are amazing! We have a sunroom that doubles as a guest room. We don’t want permanent window blinds in the room. We also have a lot of windows (9 windows and a sliding glass door) so window treatments would get very pricey! One of my neighbors had these paper blinds and I was intrigued. I bought some and I am convinced these are the best thing ever! I measured the windows, then marked and cut through the blinds when folded up, with a razor knife. The adhesive is very sticky but I did have to take one off and put it back as it was crooked, and was able to do so. They look very nice...from a distance you can’t tell they are paper.They do come with clips, but we bought some so we could match the color of the blinds, as the ones that came with it were white, and we bought the gray shades. I wanted something to help block out light when it was used as a guest room but not black.My neighbor uses these full time and replaces them when they get dusty (every six months or so since she has white ones). We only need them when we have company, so it is a great deal for us!You can see in the picture that one is down and the one next to it is clipped up.

These paper shades are great.I am actually installing behind my plantation blinds to protect them in summer from the sun which over times eats away & dry rots the strings.I pull them down in summer also to block the heat & strong rays of the sun from damaging & discoloring mg furniture.Room darkened really work great & I love how you can use them on different size windows.Great for privacy as well as you cannot see silhoettes behind them at night.You can with standard light filtering shades which I have now bit replacing with room darkening ones.They are great, look really great on the windows from inside & outside.Very easy to cut if need be, & install by yourself.Price was great for 6 to a pack.Amazon has the best price for these shades.I highly recommend these paper shades. For the money the ate great

I recently purchased a new home and it did not have window coverings. I ordered blinds from another company and the manufacture and install was going to take a 6 weeks. I saw this product on Amazon and figured it was a good solution. The product arrived in two days without special shipping. These products are easy to install with a step stool or small ladder if you are height challenged like myself. They are easy to trim to fit and are fairly durable.Living in the Southwest the average indoor temp in my home is about 90. Not using AC, after installing these paper blinds, the temp was reduced. I highly recommend this product. The only concern was I needed 7 and they come in packages of 6. I used butcher paper for the 7th window and it's fine. However, the paper does not compare to the efficiency of this product.I do not work for the manufacturer or any related industry. This is my honest opinion and YMMV. I believe you will be satisfied with this product as a temporary solution to uncovered windows. I will post an update if there are any negative issues with this product. So far, none.

Great value, definitely darkened the room. Worked perfect in our bedroom before we picked out a window treatment.

These are the absolute worst! They do not adhere to the window frame. They fall off in less than 24 hours. Substandard quality.

I originally purchased the black shades and they have worked out great. So, I purchased 2 boxes of these gray ones. ALL OF THEM have fallen from their windows in less than a month. I was seriously disappointed. Also, they let in a lot more light than I anticipated. The black ones were great at blocking out light. These, however, are not. They are more for privacy. If you purchases these, just make sure that you have some more double-sided sticky tape on hand and that the top of your window is clean (I used rubbing alcohol). On the other hand, they do look pretty nice when properly installed. I will buy some double-sided sticky tape and try to re-hang them. In the end, for the price (about $6.00 per shade), they are a quick and cheap window solution.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Most are still in place after 2 years. only one fell

These are pretty tough to cut in one fell swoop. I used Costco scissors and I still had to muscle and maneuver it. Because of this, the edges look a little frayed, but it’s not noticeable since the shades sit inside the frame.I added some additional adhesive because of the difficulties many other reviewers said they had. I highly recommend doing this.In the end, the shades look really nice. Because the clips look cheap when they’re attached to keep the shades up, I recommend buying these for windows you plan on keeping shut most/all of the time.I would give this 4.5 stars if I could.
