Redi Shade No Tools Easy Lift Trim-at-Home Cordless Cellular Light Filtering Fabric Shade Natural, 36" W x 64" L, (Fits windows 19"- 36")

We've had these up in our living room for 6+ months. 1 of them we've had issues with it falling. I bought gorilla tape to use on it the next time it fell, but we hadn't had any issues. Then my husband was pulling them down last night and the string must've snapped inside one of them. He said he heard a snap noise and now the blind won't stay straight so I'll need to purchase another one. Otherwise we haven't had any issues with them.

Quality is good for the price. Note that this is the CELLULAR version which means the shade design includs cells or pockets, which seem to filter more light while also helping with temperature control and blocking more heat from entering the home. (The same company also sells a PLEATED version which appears to not offer the same function of filtering light/heat.) The pull-down/lift-up function works great, no pins or clips required. If the shade position ever becomes uneven, simply raise the shade back to the up position and then pull back down to "reset" it, as the instructions indicate.Cutting down the shade to fit the width of your window is no problem. As the instructions state, measure your window WIDTH three times (top, middle, and bottom), and use the narrowest measurement when you use the included cutting guide to cut down the shade on each side (left and right, using your width measurement as your cutting point on each side). MEASURE MULTIPLE TIMES to be certain you have the right measurement. Then firmly secure the shade to the floor, apply the plastic cutting guide (included), place the slit over the exact position indicating your window width (for instance, "42 3/4") and then use a short, sharp, smooth blade kitchen knife to saw/rock back and forth until you cut all the way through. Repeat this on the other side of the shade, at the same measurement marker on the ruler. Once you've cut down your shade to the appropriate width, hold it up inside your window frame (top, middle, and bottom) to make sure it's not too wide. (It's going to be easier to cut it down further now than after you've installed it!) Then pop in the bar-ends (included) into the cut ends to finish the base of the shade.Adhesive: THERE IS A GOOD SOLUTION to the many problems others have mentioned in the reviews for this product.. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME RISKING TO INSTALL this shade using the pre-installed adhesive tape. Instead, I STRONGLY recommend searching Amazon for a 3M "VHB" 2-sided tape (usually back tape with red backing), preferably 1" width, and at least as long as the length of the shade. This should cost you about $9 or so. Order the tape at the same time as you order the shade, and don't attempt to install the shade until you have the 3M VHB heavy duty 2-sided tape (NOT SQUARES). Trust me on this from experience. Now, assuming you've purchased a roll of high quality (3M VHB heavy duty) 2-sided tape, and you've cut your shade down to side: REMOVE the backing from the adhesive tape that came pre-installed on the shade so the sticky tape is exposed. Now, unroll your 3M VHB 2-sided tape and CAREFULLY extend the tape from one edge of the shade to the other, applying it DIRECTLY onto the factory-adhesive tape, and firmly press along the whole way to make sure it's firmly attached with minimal air bubbles. (To make it even more secure, you can now blow a warm hair dryer directly onto the tape to heat up the adhesive, just for 15 seconds or so, and then press it down again firmly.) IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE THE 3M VHB tape backing yet, and DO NOT install yet. Let the shade sit for 12-24 hours so the adhesive forms a super strong bond. It's better to take your time on this and ensure that it holds than regret it later! After you've let it sit for a considerable amount of time, clean the window frame / area of any dust, dirt, etc. (use alcohol if necessary), especially the area where you'll be attaching this shade, and let it THOROUGHLY dry. Finally, remove the 3M VHB 2-sided tape backing from the entire shade. (Optional: you can now use that same hair dryer technique once again, this time on the exposed adhesive, to warm it up and increase its ability to bond.) Now, very carefully press the shade in EXACTLY the position you measured from. HOLD IT IN PLACE for as long as possible, periodically shifting your hands (left and middle, middle and right, etc) so you're evenly distributing pressure, holding the shade and its adhesive against the surface to form a super-strong bond. Periodically shifting your hands, and pressing as firmly as possible, for as long as 5-10 minutes (or more!) will greatly enhance the bond, and decrease the likelihood that your shade will ever fall down unexpectedly.Good luck!

6 month update: The first one, from Vine, fell off 2 months ago. The second one I bought myself fell down last week. Both were installed on freshly painted sills so I know they weren't dirty. Neither left any residue or pieces of the sticky strip on the sills. They just released, like it was too cold to stick. I do keep my office on the cool side, but my husband's office gets sun all day and he likes the warmth so it could not have been an issue there. Going back down to 3 stars (and considering 2 stars) - we're going to screw them back in, but we shouldn't have to.-------Update about 3 weeks later - I bought a 2nd one of these on my personal account, for our other home office room, and just finished cutting it. I'm raising to 4 stars because it's just working out so well. Because it has no strings, it doesn't have the small openings that traditional blinds do. We had that issue where twice a day the sun would shine through those little holes, for about an hour each time, and be very annoying. A small but very useful aspect.Note for those having sticking issues: The surface you're going to stick them to needs to be very clean. This is standard with all products that use stickies. Windex, 409, whatever, then rub with alcohol and let dry well. The sticky on these is excellent, if the surface is clean it will work well.The good:> Clean and crisp, minimalist-looking.> No strings to deal with.> Light and easy to move up and down.> Lets lots of light in - this could go either way, depending on what you want it for. I used them in my home office, so I like the light. I recommend these for privacy and/or a little dressiness, not for darkening the room.> So far it's stayed where I put it - I'm not fond of having to put it all the way up and pull back down if I want to change the level, but hey, it's really not that much effort.> "Cutting guide" is only partially useful. Will scoot around if you're not careful, and does allow things to get a bit crooked. (see pix)> I didn't find them easily-cut at all. The actual shade material, yes, it's very easy, but the smooth plastic wasn't easy. (see pix) EDIT: Used a better knife for the 2nd one I bought and it did work much better - still a fair effort, but knife does make a difference.> There's a ruler on each end of the top that is quite helpful in measuring. (see pic)The bad:> The blind itself is a material that I feel may be problematic in some situations. If you smoke, or use these in a kitchen, I feel it will absorb smells and/or turn yellow.> It's a little on the delicate, or finicky, side. If you have pets or wild kids or such, I feel it will break easily.> That sticky tape is *sticky*. It stays up well - good while it's being used, but not so good when the shade gets stained or ripped and you need to replace it. I'd love to see this with one of the 3M removable sticky products.> I have a love/hate thing going with the cutting guide. It wobbles, so you have to be careful to keep it straight, all while seriously muscling a knife back and forth. (see pix of uneven cutting it allowed) The slot for cutting is also wider than it needs to be, which also allows variation in cut.> Cutting these yourself, you need to be very, very careful to cut the same amount from each side to keep them balanced. The instructions do not warn you of the reason for this, and it doesn't tell you which end of the cutting guide faces inward (although you can see it on the listing pix, if you think to check).All in all, I'm going with 3 stars (edit: updated to 4), because it's a decent product that I think has plenty of situations where it's useful, but there are definite issues that need to be considered.

I ordered 4 of these and have had them on my windows for a few months now and LOVE them! I had read a review before I purchased them to go ahead and order a double sided mounting tape because the original adhesive isn't strong enough. So I ordered the Gorilla brand off amazon and it has worked SO well. I heated up the double sided tape and the original adhesive to make a good bond before installing to my windows. I didn't have to cut mine at all because they fit inside my windows really well. The last one I installed has only started to come undone 1 time. I thinks its because I was rushing to finish and didn't heat the tape up as well as I did on the other 3. These are a GREAT price and I loved that I didn't have to drill any holes into my windows. I read in other reviews that they sometimes get a little crooked when raising them or pulling them down, this is an easy fix. Just raise them all the way back up and then try again. It corrects itself. I use 2 hands to raise or pull down to prevent this from happening. Highly recommend!

In different sizes, and most of them worked very well and look beautiful.Two of the larger ones, however, fell down after a couple of months, because of the humidity in the summer. I will tack them back up with an adhesive strip, now that the humidity has settled down.

The quality of the product is great. I chose them for my living room based on filtering light rather than light blocking. They work wonderfully for this purpose! Getting them put up was rather tricky. However, after a few false starts, they were easy to install. Within a few days, two out of four shades started losing the grip. To be fair, the adhesion strip was flat but the surface I was trying to attach it to is not. When I pulled them completely off it made a mess of both the painted surface and the adhesion strip. I ended up using sets of command strip velcro hangers (see photo) (four per window shade). This works and will also allow me to take the blinds down without damaging the surface they're attached to. It’s also tricky to get them level when raising them – kind of hit and miss. If anyone has a suggestion about how to get them level, I’d love to hear it. The bottom line for me is I’d recommend these to friends and I’m going to order the black-out version for my bedroom.

Uso este tipo de persianas porque tengo gatitos y destruyen otras cortinas o persianas por más que las cuido. Estas también las rompen, pero duran unos 6 meses y se ven bien. Sencillas, desde luego, pero pasan por persianas normales por un buentiempo. Solo espero que las continuen surtiendo en todos los tamaños y no las suban de precio. Más caras no las compraría.

Ok

Good value for an affordable blind. The adhesive does hold but you have to find a way to clamp the blind in place at least overnight but the longer the better.

I ordered 3 for the 57 inch wide windows in my basement. The first 3 shades that arrived were broken through shipping. You could see the creases in the cardboard. The replacements arrived quickly and thankfully were okay, one was broken on the end but it was the end where I chose to cut off 3 inches anyway so it was ok.Install: The wood frame was cleaned with alcohol but the adhesion against it is TERRIBLE. Would work better against a smooth plastic inner frame - but because I didn't want the placement too deep it had to be against the wood frame. It didn't fall off the first window but it fell off the second window - twice. I had to go back and put 3 screws in each shade at the top. They really need to provide clips and screws to install instead. If it doesn't fall off within the year it probably will the following year. Once installed it actually looked very good. The beige was very neutral and bright. A pretty good deal considering the size of the window required and the cost of real shades from the cheapest online supplier.
