I'm sleeping a lot better after replacing my metal mini-blinds with these blackout roller shades. The shades do a great job of blocking light so long as they're mounted outside the window frame. My shades are coffee colored, and I chose a standard mount with a metal continuous loop lift. They look terrific and they're easy to lift and lower. I found out the hard way that if you're trying to make a room dark, you shouldn't mount these shades inside the window frame. It's amazing how much light can come in from a 1 inch gap all around the edges! I had to reorder the shades in a larger size so that they could be mounted outside the frame. Blindster refunded all but 10% of the cost of the original shades, which I thought was fair. I had to find an organization that would take the original shades as a donation in order to get the refund, and I found that most charities don't take roller shades (including Goodwill). Habitat for Humanity took them though. My husband had some trouble installing the shades because the hardware that was included for mounting the brackets into drywall was totally inadequate. The original hardware would have been easy to pull right out of the wall, so we replaced it with something that was more heavy duty. Unfortunately we didn't realize that there was a problem until we tried installing with the original hardware, resulting in extra holes in the drywall. I would have rated the quality of the shades "excellent" except for that problem.

The blind was just as advertised, room darkening, down from top, up from bottom and easy to mount. My blind is 71 and a 1/2 in wide. The mounting instructions calls for 4 mounting brackets on a 72 inch blind. Mine being 71 and a half I only got three, I needed four. How I know this is my wife noticed that just a little sliver of light coming in from the top. When I pushed up on the top of the blind the light disappeared .

The color is perfect (ask for a swatch). Installation was quick and easy and the fit is perfect. Very happy with the quality.

The blackout shade is a perfect fit and really sturdy. One complaint - the delivery time it took to get it and I paid for expediated delivery.

I feel like the hardest part was measuring for ordering the shades. Once they came in, the rest came together pretty well. My room looks great and thankfully much darker with my blackout shades.
