Terrific for hot sunny kitchen windowClaireDoes bend a little at the bottom, three clips would be better than too4
Love it! This blind is for light control, not a daily curtain – reviews are misleadingSammieI have four stubborn windows in my living area that I never open, and plenty of light comes through from all directions, affecting my indoor plants and furniture. These pleated blinds have been a real relief, giving me the sun control I needed. Light still enters, but it no longer harms my plants or fades my furniture. At night they also provide privacy; even with the lights on, no one can see inside. The material is basic, so they are not for daily opening and closing. They are meant to be installed and left as they are, which makes them ideal for rentals like mine where I cannot add new curtains. I placed them behind my blackout curtains and they fit perfectly. Simple, affordable, and practical, they do exactly what they promise. I can cover these four windows because my large window door still provides light and air, but if the window you plan to cover is your main source, it may not be the best choice. Buy smart; this product is well designed for low budgets and easy repairs.5
Pleated blindKarenThis is a great little quick blind to make a window look nice. Easy put up.5
Sun out Light in for $6.00PatThis is for a westerly facing laundry window. It gets hot summer afternoon sun. This blocks out the sun, yet allows almost full light into the laundry. However, I'd print out the instructions from this page as those in the pack are very small and hard to follow. Those on this page are the same instructions, but easier to understand.4
Best option for easy installation SungtaeGood quality compared price 5
Clips are weak need to use pegs, a hassle to open and closeMunThe plastic "clips" that come with this are extremely weak and cannot hold more than a few folds of the blind. Basically useless, so have to use my own pegs, one of those black binder paper clips would work well I think. It's also a hassle to unclip/reclip when you want to open or close it. 2
satisfiedLindathe curtin is very light, easy to stick on the window frame. the price is really reasonable.5
Great value, good temporary blinds.HeatherGood value, great temporary blinds, however, the plastic clips don't work well when you'd like to put blinds up. They dont fit over the thicker fold, therefore don't stay on.
Also the bottom blind needs to be stronger or plastic maybe, it wears easily after a bit of use.

Great blackout blind, good value, need to be a little wider.HeatherGood, affordable, quick to put up, blockout blind.
But it's a bit narrow for my window space and 2 blinds wouldn't work (double-window space in old house). So light comes in the sides..... check your window measurements.
The plastic clips to hold blind up - only work well if blind is down, won't fit over blind 'fold', when rolled up and really needed 3 clips per shade, not 2 only. But if you want to leave them down most of the time, they are very affordable and great temporary blinds.4
Value for moneyCynthiaThought this would be a temporary solution, but has lasted for many years5
Cheap and cheerful AnneEasy to install and use if you don’t want to pull up the blind 4
Great price, great blindMichelleNeeded a blockout blind for a wide and short window. Cut blind in half, used nano tape to put up second blind and some spare adhesive hoop and loop tape to hold it in place. Will leave blinds down for summer and put then up as the weather cools. They are working well, keeping the sun out and the room ccool. Great value.5
Blocks out sunlightKylieKeeps out the dust and truly darkens the room5
Great blindsMelissaThese blinds are so easy to install. Just measure to size, cut, peel off the asking and stick up.
Offers 100% blockout and reduces heat as well.
Perfect for renters as it doesn’t damage the window frame and can be relived easily. 5
Great blockout, but can’t stay up LaniThe material used is great quality and does a fantastic job of blocking out light (and heat!). The only downside is you can’t put the blinds up and down, because the two plastic clips provided to hold the blinds open, simply don’t work. Spotlight have temporary blinds for the same price in two additional sizes and with drawstrings for opening/closing, which work just as well as normal blinds… would love to see that applied to these blinds. I only bought this one from ikea because it was the correct size for my window… does a good job but it’s a shame you can only have it closed, not open or closed. 2

Excellent, useful block-out blindHelenThis is an inexpensive and practical solution when needing a block-out blind that can be rolled up and down. Perfect if renting. Cut to size, if necessary. Have bought a couple of these before for other windows. Bargain.5
Light filteringSarahLight filtering, clips to hold pleats open are flimsy, and don't hold very well. Otherwise it served the purpose that I needed3
Wouldn’t recommend Anonymous reviewerI applied these to my window and a day later the bottom of the blind retracted with the Velcro sticker removing all the paint from the window seal. Now I have no paint and I can’t close the blind due to the Velcro no longer being sticky. It’s a pretty useless blind now. 2
Worked really well for what we needed GeorgiaWe used it horizontally so that it was in the top part of the window. In doing so our cats can still see out the bottom half.
As it was hung horizontally, we had purchased a tension shower rod from IKEA to place under it to take away the slack and it looks quite straight / good.
The adhesive on the product has worked quite well, we had to add more velcro adhesive on to the other side because of how we hung it. 5
