Review on 🏒 Achim 1-2-3 Shade Vinyl Room Darkening Pleated Shades - 36" Width X 75" Length (6 Pack) by Kyle Beaner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad, but too short for tall windows

Today I hung them on a bay window that consists of four separate windows. We're getting ambient light rather than full sun, and this pretty much, if not completely, darkens the room. They're actually about three inches shorter than my windows, which are admittedly quite tall (Victorian). The blinds look good except they are too short. I had to cut them to length. For this work I used a large kitchen knife, which I kept sharpening as I worked, and a wooden cutting board. Cutting required a lot of strength and took a long time. But it worked out well, and while the cuts might be a bit jagged, you really can't tell the blinds are up at the moment. I hope the sticky substance the blinds are hanging on is strong enough. Some other reviewers refer to them as light grays; I would say they are a very cool white color. Vinyl is as light and delicate as paper. The raising and lowering mechanism is elegant and works very well. In general I am very happy with them.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Quality
