Review on πŸ”’ Redi Shade 1617201 Blackout Pleated Paper Shade 6-Pack: 36 x 72in, Black - Ultimate Light Blocking Solution by Ken Booker

DO NOT WORK IN HOT PERIODS Very Good

I found these on Amazon and thought they would be great for what I wanted, privacy or shade in a room while saving some money. To cut them I just used an X-Acto knife, or you can use a sword, whichever works better. They come with clips so you don't need to buy extra ones. The material is cheap, like the brochures you get at a Christmas play. But they block the light well. When they're not hanging straight, they kind of shift left or right like some guys do. Now they do exactly what they say, but there is something they don't mention. THEY DO NOT WORK WELL IN AREAS ABOVE A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE. The glue on the back shrinks and they fall. I bought them for my extra room in California, which sometimes gets hot (let's say 85-100 degrees) due to the weather or the Marvin Gaye soundtrack. Within 2 weeks in 37 degree weather one fell over and the others hung in the corners like a sad clown's nose. I still need to add some tape or maybe just buy curtains. So if you hang them somewhere that doesn't get hot, I think you'll be fine. GOOD LUCK and GOOD LUCK.
