About seven weeks after ordering 11 of these shades, they arrived at our house. They were pretty easy to install after the first one (included instructions aren't that helpful). They look great, block out a lot of light, and are sized just about perfectly for each window. We opted for the pull chain to operate these since I've had mixed results with the cordless option in shades throughout my life. The only thing I don't like about the chain is that there are parts of the chain that are more bulky and get a little hung up on the tensioner a little bit. We're overall happy with our purchase. They are effective, look great, and seem like a good value compared to other options out there.
