Redi Shade No Tools Original Light Filtering Pleated Paper Shade White, 36" W x 72" L, 6 Pack

Breaking out to just over $4 per shade (bought as a pack of 6), you really can't go wrong. The shades are extremely easy to install and immediately solve light filtering needs. I was skeptical of the sticking power and used a little rubbing alcohol as an extra cleaning step on the window frame prior to installing; the shade stuck quickly and seems to be securely in place, even after adjusting it up and down a few times. The clips are super noticeable and cheap-looking, and I prefer three across the 36" shade width (I'll look for something more inconspicuous to hold them up). These are truly paper - thin, easily bent/dented, and would certainly not hold up to any moisture or much contact. These shades are 5 stars in my book based on the price point and simplicity of the solution. I do not expect them to last forever and would probably look for a longer-term solution if I planned to have shades in place forever, but they are a fantastic way to meet shorter-term needs.

They look great and make the room feel more open with shaded natural light. The only issue is the adhesive doesn’t work sometimes so I used command strips to keep them in place but they are easy to cut with a box cutter and super easy to install. Plus you don’t have to drill anything or hammer any nails or find a stud. Highly recommended.

First and foremost, if you're thinking that you're going to use these as a permanent (or even long-term temporary) window treatment, I would caution against that from the outset. These are not going to last. While they are not "low quality" for what they are, they are quite literally made out of paper. Nothing but folded paper with an adhesive strip on one end. They will eventually tear or wrinkle and become useless. Having said that, they should work well enough for what I need them for. I just moved into a brand new house and it did not include window treatments. After recovering from the initial cardiac arrest induced by the price of plantation shutters, I realized I would need *something* to cover my windows for the next six weeks until my shutters were made, delivered and installed. So for $29 I have been able to cover the windows in my front bedroom and master bedroom (dual windows) and guest room and office (single windows). That's six total, at 3' wide (which is slightly wider than the single window openings I have). My house backs onto a wetland so luckily my privacy really is not compromised by leaving my dining room windows and sliding doors uncovered for the next few weeks, and I get a great view of the wildlife at dawn and dusk! Another hint, although yes it is going to cost you a tiny hole in your brand new walls, is to hammer in a thumb tack at each top edge! After reading all the reviews about the adhesive giving way and them falling down in the night, I decided to stop that before it could ever happen. Just use a little care because you're hammering it into the wooden window frame and not just into drywall and you have a setup that is guaranteed NOT to fall down. Because I am not laboring under the utter delusion that these are somehow permanent window treatments, I have given these 4 stars because they do what they are supposed to do, and they do it for a decent price!

I have a brand new house. Had it built 6 months ago. Ordered these as a cheap way to get blinds in my house until I can afford some fancier ones. Got these suckers out, cut them to size just how I wanted them, and boom. Hung them all up. Went to sleep.... Woke up in the middle of the night to my English Bulldog barking his nuts off. Growling, barking, snorting, slobbering, etc. This also got my German Shepherd/Malamute mixed dog freaking out also. So I was certain I either had someone trying to break into my new house, or somehow I let my new house already get possessed. Either way, I sprung outta bed and ran out to my living room with just a gun and my underwear. Took me but 2 seconds to realize why they freaked out. All of the blinds had fallen to the ground. Every single one of them. And I wasn't about to go shooting some paper blinds. So I was frustrated and left them there and went back to sleep. The following morning I stuck them all back up. I used a lot of force the first time around when sticking them up. This time I made sure to apply an EXTRA amount of force. 45 minutes later, they all came down, like exactly 2 minutes apart from each other. These blinds are literally just paper. You use clips to hold them up. When you clip them, the edges of the blinds fan downwards where as the location of the clips holds them up. So it looks weird. Also wherever you clip them, will definitely wrinkle the blinds. Meaning you won't want to lower them later. They look fine. You can thumb tack them to your window sill if you want to. Just don't plan on adjusting them too often if you actually want to go this route. But as for me I threw them away. And just to clarify, I washed the top of my window sill just to be sure I got all of the dust out. I let them dry before I hung up my blinds. It's just too much weight for the adhesive. Oh well. You live and you learn.

These are great! We had to wait a month for our blinds to arrive, and these were a lifesaver. The relatively easy to apply. They're a little tough to cut, but if you have a decent pair of scissors you can do it. The adhesive on it is very strong. I ended up just using tape instead.

I used these as a temporary fix as I waited for permanent blinds to be installed. I had them up for three weeks total. They basically did what I needed them to, but I found them kind of maddening. First off, as other reviewers have said, they fall down. I convinced myself I was going to avoid this by cleaning the window frames before installing the blinds and pressing them on really well. Nope! They still fell. Weirdly, I used six blinds from the same pack and installed them all in exactly the same way, and some fell repeatedly, while some never fell once. When they fall, they make a fairly loud noise, which is not relaxing when you're home alone or trying to sleep. After the first couple of days, I started pressing them in place once or twice a day as I opened or closed them, and this mostly prevented additional falls. Second, they're a bit of a hassle to open. It took me a couple of minutes every morning to fold them up and clip them. If I wasn't careful they would sometimes escape and unfold again as I tried to clip them in place, so I had to fold them up again. It wasn't too bad, but it was significantly more involved than just raising a permanent shade. Third, when I took them down, they pulled bits of paint off my window frames. I understand that if you stick stuff to your house then pull it down it may take some of the paint off. But the fact that these blinds, which had just spent three weeks doing their best to detach themselves from my windows, would suddenly get super sticky right when I wanted them detached was slightly infuriating. Ironically, some of the ones that fell most took off the most paint. On the plus side, these look pretty good. They provide privacy but also let in a decent amount of light, which is just what I wanted--in fact, when I bought real blinds I told the salesperson I wanted something that looked like these, but permanent. They do stretch out a little over time, and the clips are visible, so they don't look quite like permanent blinds. But the overall look is fine, and the clips were less noticieable than I thought they might be. Overall, these were imperfect, and I wouldn't want to rely on them for more than a few weeks, but they were a decent temporary solution. They were also probably the best solution for me, because I have cats who will climb and scratch any dangling cloth, so I couldn't just pin up bits of cloth. My personal cats didn't mess with these. Your results may vary.

Perfect temporary blinds that are so easy to put up. The shade is light and thin, but not see through at all. One easy cut needed to fit the width of your window and adhesive tape on the top makes it very easy to attach to the top of the window frame. I highly recommend these shades for temporary or more permanent use on any window in your home that you want to be able to have some privacy but still get light through. The price was great and you get 6 shades and a lot of extra clips to use when you want to keep your shades open.

We cut the blind in half with the upper window shade on the outer window frame of the window. Lower window shade is mounted with clear packaging tape to just under the window lock so we can get to the lock to raise or lower the double hung windows with no problems. We keep two windows open year round for our dogs, even when it is freezing. We keep the shades in fan shape during the day. Full down at night for privacy. Do not let the blinds get wet because it causes the folds to disappear. These two blinds replaced our mini blinds.

Loved these, they are easy to install and looks like a real blind. Didn’t like the clips they look like clothespins could be nicer

super bien emballés, mais malgré tout un bout d'un côté plié, mais j'ai réussi à déplier en manipulant avec soin. Satisfaite, ils sont rares en papier, les autres sont comme du tissus et ils n'adhère pas à la surface lorsqu'on les colle, mais en papier ils collent beaucoup mieux.

Las compré por $200 pesos y son 6 cortinas. Excelente para cubrir temporalmente; son de papel pero se ven muy bonitas. Fáciles de cortar y de pegar.

They are perfect. Made out of high quality paper and look amazing. Filter out light but not entirely. I am not regretting my purchase and that what matters. I would anyday choose these over traditional blinds in future. Long lasting.

Fàcil de usar y buen resultado.
