Blackout Vertical Blinds 45.8"-86" x 96", Afterglow

I can't speak to durability at this point since I just received my blinds and installed them today. But what I will say is I'm quite pleased with them, especially considering the cost compared to others I've looked at. I chose to mount the track to my 8' ceiling and the panels were long enough that I still ended up trimming 3 3/4" from the bottom of each panel. I was quite pleased to see the generous length even though it wasn't necessary in my situation. The blackout function of the panels is excellent and I even noticed some sound reduction (I live near railroad tracks) although it was minor. That said there was enough of a difference to be noticeable if the panels were open or closed over my patio door - but don't expect a miracle lol. The installation itself went quite smoothly and unlike some products I've purchased the instructions were accurate and clear enough to easily follow. Although I do have good handyman skills and use them for side jobs I believe almost anyone would be able to hang these panels. The only drawback I see to these panel blinds would be in homes with children/teens who aren't prone to exercise ordinary care in opening and closing them. The hangers the panels attached to are aluminum and the ceiling tracks are made of aluminum and plastic. Long-term durability in those homes may be somewhat questionable so those people may wish to spend more and buy a stronger product. For everyone else I would say they are robust enough to hold up to long-term everyday use. Overall, I have no problem recommending these panel blinds to anyone looking for an attractive set at a good price.

Great quality and design. It was also simple to install, cut and trim. We bought one for our living room to block out the sunlight and for privacy in the evening. We ended up buying 3 more sets in the color Fir. Gray slight green to it. It won’t be 100% complete black out because these aren’t curtains. But you will get 100% privacy. It has helped keep out house cooler. If you see wrinkles in the pictures it was because my kid jumped on it while I was trimming the panels. Otherwise everything was packaged very nicely. I did a lot of research and went with GoDear based on reviewers pictures and comments. The pictures helped showed the quality compare to other brands.

These were packaged really well, had comprehensive instructions that are well illustrated, attention to every detail, quality product. I scanned the provided QR code for the video too. How anyone ever trimmed these at the wrong end is inconceivable - they clearly tell you where NOT to trim. I got the black outs and they’re lightweight but block light. The only reason I didn’t 5 stars is because I’d like to see the hanging panel closest to the sliding door opening - farthest away on the track. Not closest to the window. I’m finding it hits the inside of the door frame when closing, and I have to move it away to continue to slide. This item wouldn’t likely withstand dogs or children with no regard to handling the opening & closing properly - always. For longevity, it will require deliberate attention. For the classy way it looks - I find it worth it in our home. Beats plastic vertical 1980’s/1990’s blind all day long as far as looks.

These look great and are easy to install. I did this by myself (female, 65). My husband wanted blackout so that he could watch TV in a movie like experience. These work great.

These panel track blinds are the best invention for sliding glass doors! I love them. They are sleek in their design and take up very little space, unlike bulky curtains. They are very easy to open and close. They block out the cold in the winter. They block out much of the light at night. They are also good at blocking out direct sunlight on hot days. They are easy to open and close. Very pleased with both sets we ordered. I would highly recommend.

We bought this product to divide an unfinished basement. Because it was an unfinished space our installation was quite unique as our beams were not spaced quite with the way they needed to be. However, using a mix of the wall mount and ceiling mount hardware, we were able to get it work. I say all this to point out that a basic installation should be a piece of cake. If you've ever hung curtains or blinds, this is no harder. The material was very easy to cut to length. I recommend an exacto knife vs scissors but both work. We bought non transparent so there is a white backing on it. There were two things that I will say were bothersome. The first is that it is actually easy to pull the track apart if you pull too far and getting it back together can be frustrating. However, we ended up pulling it apart and retracing so that it's every other blind on the front and third track to get it flat as we wanted a wall. The last thing is that they really need a valence or to make some sort of effort to make a straight line where the velcro is placed. I haven't come up with a solution yet for us, but if you have these in a finished space, be prepared to purchase a custom valance to cover the top.

Like the look, the mechanism, the privacy, the price! Reason it's a 4 and not a 5 star... Not truly blackout as advertised. They do let a little light through the fabric itself. Not able to mirror 2 blinds to open and STACK the same way. This is important because I have a 12 foot wide sliding patio door. Both of these 6 foot blinds meet in the center and have four tracks, from inside to outside they stack ONLY ONE WAY, so when closed for instance, on the left you see the inside track blind pulls to center position, but on the right, the outside track pulls to the center. And because this is where the two meet, it looks odd. The inside track and outside track come together in the middle. It would be great if I could close both sides and have them meet at the middle either inside to inside, or outside to outside. I'm trying to figure out how to modify the tracks stacking mechanism to fix this issue. Keep in mind, this would only affect people using 2 blinds in a large slider situation like mine. These blinds are beautiful and function great. Overall, I love them!

Easy to hang, great color and light blocking. Having the shade with the handle closest to the inside vs outside isn't ideal, it tends to hit the door and frame and not lay flat. It doesn't slide smoothly. It's nice being able to cut to fit the length.

I was concerned the black out was false advertising, but these are truly 100% black out. The color is great. The fabric is impressive and stylish. The quality is great. I didn't notice the touch of silver until they arrived - nice subtle touch. So easy to install. I read the reviews and followed everyone's advise to install and hang the panels before cutting to length. They turned out 1/2" off the floor and perfectly even. The bottom finishing rods were so easy to put on, I don't really understand how some people struggled with them. They turned out great and look so stunning. Operationally, they're beautiful. They slide back and forth with the large metal wand. I'm very happy. Which is good because they are expensive.

We used the blackout version in our bedroom, a little light comes in where the panels overlap but not enough to bother us. Easy to install: less than an hour for a pair in their 70's. Very pleased.

Utilisé pour ma porte patio mais toute la hauteur, plafond au plancher. Facile à installer, bien fait. J'aurais donné 5 étoiles mais la pauvre qualité des panneaux m'a fait donner 4 étoiles. Ils sont faits à base de papier alors ça ne durera probablement pas super longtemps. Mais j'adore le look!

Great panel vertical blinds. They were not too hard to install. I wish they included more of the anti-fray plastics. Another possible improvement to the product is that the opening stop of the blind isn’t adjustable. My patio opening isn’t the maximum size. I want each panel to open with equal spacing instead of all opening equally spaced.

Plus beau que sur la photo très satisfaite
