Horrible to install. My husband watched the installation videos and still could not figure out how to install properly. We ended up buying new blinds and will donate these. Would not recommend!!!

Perfect fit and don't have to make adjustments to the strings like other brands....unbox and mount, you are done.

Product was very cheaply made. Installation is moderately difficult. Do not follow the instructions instead watch a you tube video for the correct installation instructions.

The shades are pretty good. The top and bottom rails seem a little flimsy, but once you get the installation just right, they look good and should hold up.The only real issue is with getting them installed correctly. The instructions are terribly inadequate and seem to be written for someone who already knows how to install them. Fortunately for me, I have already installed similar shades before.It's critically important to have the tension in the strings just right and perfectly equal on both sides. If the strings are too tight, the shades are hard to adjust. Too loose and they won't stay up. Not perfectly equal, and they will always look crooked. Getting them just right can take lots of trial and error.

These shades are a perfect blend of style and functionality. I prefer to open my windows to let the natural light in as I work, however, my office window looks straight into my neighbor’s room. I thought this blind was the perfect solution for privacy while still letting the light through. I love that I can choose whether to open it at the bottom or top.These blinds are easy to install. However, I agree with the other reviews that the installation instructions aren’t descriptive and the printed pictures are hard to distinguish. I would recommend watching the installation video that can be found on the product page.

Instructions really do NOT explain what you need do. It should state that you need the strings TIGHT! It's very basic in saying, place these things here and place those there and tie a knot here. Where that knot is placed is VERY important! It has to be tight for them to work!! The product is very nice and works well after you figure this information out! The first time I didn't get it tight enough and they wouldn't work right. THEN I started investigating and figured out the issue. Good quality for the price and yes they work well now.

It took longer time to put up. Directions are not great. I would like it if was labeled top or bottom and front. Clips kept making blinds pop out when adjusting. It's of for temporary blinds. I would not purchase it for permanent blinds. Price was reasonable. I will not purchase again.

These are far and away the most economic way to have the clean and classic look of top down bottom up shades.I spent days scouring the web, big box stores, and local purveyors of window coverings. I had 10 windows to do, so a price difference of 10, 20, 30 dollars, or more per blind multiplied quickly. The were the best price.The instructions included are terrible, but there is a perfect video available on you tube by a guy named Casey. Amazon would not let me add the link, so just search frank goodman top down bottom up and you should be able to find it. Very clear and straightforward.My house was built in 1950, so the windows are not a common size, most are 28x49 (ish). No window is exactly the same size. For these, I purchased the 27x64. Just make sure you measure well before drilling the screws in. I like that the 27" wide cover the glass, but are comfortable in the frame so the shade does not have to resist the friction of being too tight. I did not want black out, so this worked just fine.Once you get the rhythm and install method down, install only takes about 10 minutes per shade.
