Nonbrand Persilux Zebra Dual Layer Roller Sheer Shades, Blackout Light Filtering UV and Privacy Protection, Window Combi Blinds Day and Night for Home and Office, (24" W X 72" H, Dark Grey)

I have a couple windows in my house where I bought a similar shade from another, large brand here on Amazon.Competitor brand (not this one):These other zebra shades are okay, but the first one I got in my child’s room arrived bent in the middle (the thick top bar). But because I needed the blackout shades installed immediately and the roller shade part still worked, I installed it anyway.The other one from the competitor brand is in our master bathroom window and the dark parts of the shade do not actually overlap as they should. So there is more light and heat coming in than I wanted. But again, still good enough and was purchased at a discount so I kept it.This shade (in dark gray):Fantastic. We have 3 from this brand. Two in very wide windows on our first floor and one in our upstairs loft. All of them arrived in perfect condition, they fit well to the windows, they installed well in spite of some funky framing in two of our window walls and they look super attractive.The light blocking is impressive and I love that when the shade is open, we get lots of lovely natural light without people being able to see right into our house. The clear panels look almost frosted from the outside of the house.If I could bulk purchase these shades for all of our other windows I totally would but I am taking it slow. I can’t see how you would regret this purchase, and that’s not something I say often.

We absolutely LOVE these blinds. They are gorgeous. The chain moves smoothly and they are surprising good with blocking out light (we sleep during the day). Instead of spending time measuring for the brackets we made it easy & fast by taping a spacer to the back of the bracket and then marking the wall so that every bracket is exactly the same depth. Easy & fast! Biggest tip: Take the screws to your hardware store and buy good quality replacements. Then throw the included screws directly into the trash. They are awful and break off in the wall. We have 3 sets installed so far and the screws for every set snapped like cheap twigs. You can also use high quality anchors (like togglers). Overall these are easy & quick to install. After the first one our second & third set went up in minutes. Gorgeous!

The product looks great and it seems well built. Just a warning for people with OCD, the product recommends to buy with the width the same as the opening. However, the blinds have a chain to adjust/roll the blinds which causing a bigger gap on the left. I’m ok with it but if you’re bothered by it I would recommend to plan for outside mount or maybe buy an inch shorter than the opening and try to center the blinds to have even gaps on both sides.

These shades are light and airy. They look very expensive and can be positioned/ adjusted to allow for partial views to the outside. They can also be easily opened like a regular shade. They are made of fabric so they could stain. The shades were cut perfectly to my measurements and they even included a longer cord for my upper window. I have received so many compliments on them. Great product at a very reasonable price. Also they arrived fairly quick and the packaging was very sturdy. They arrived in perfect condition and were not difficult to install.

These blinds surpassed my expectations. They are easy installation, mechanical hardware works as expected. I could afford plantation shutters but these have similar look from outside. The only regret is should have purchased the black out option these let a lot of sheer light in and window faces the sun.
