3 of 5 broken in 6 monthsEvaAfter only 6 months 3 of 5 items we purchased no longer go up easily - it is like the inner spring mechanism is permanently stretched or something. Really disappointed1
Worked well until it didn’t AnnetteBought these for a bedroom for shift work, work well for about 10 months and then the mechanism stopped and wouldn’t go back up, so now have to replace again. Hoping it was just a anomaly and won’t happen again3
Affordable efficient product and excellent service from IKEA staff.PamelaGreat product but limited sizes. This ( largest) size would be great for French windows if only it was30 cms Longer so it can be fitted with high enough clearance to allow the doors to be opened when blinds up!!5
Simple effective design block out blindRosannaThese block out blinds not only keep excess light out, it also keeps the warmth in, waiting to see if the reverse happens in summer.5
Perfect Block out curtain when on night dutyRosannaBought several of these, used for almost total darkness during the day when sleeping after night shift. Also used in our coaster bus when exploring the country. Keeps out excessive lights when at the camp site.5

Celluar blindRobynFabulous works really well, need to make wider models5
Better thermal insulation than curtainsJohnLove how they look and perform but wish they were longer and were made easier for DIY cutting to size.4
Great window solutionRodThank you Ikea for a great design, a fair price, and an easy install.5
Great blindsDavidThese are attractive, easy to fit and work well.5
Easy to useCliveEasy to mount operate. The 80cm wide version just happened to be a perfect fit. Not enough varying widths available. 5
Broke within a few weeks of using.Anonymous reviewerI’ve previously had these blinds and they worked great, so I got them for a new property. After a few weeks of using (down once at night and up once in the morning) the blind is now stuck down on an angle and I can’t get it to go up. So disappointing and I’m no longer close to an IKEA store to return.1
Dark and warmLisaSo far doing the job, keeps the chilly evenings away and provides a good amount of light block out in the lounge. 5
HappyAnneThe blinds are great, blockout ones. Very pleased.5
Very easy installKirsiHandy install and easy to use5
Functional but Not PrettyKayBought this to replace a more see through blind which uses the same clips. It is rather bulky and not very pretty to look at but does a good job of blocking out light and heat. Only colour choice was white so I hope it doesn’t show too much dirt and dust as not sure how it can be cleaned. Also looks unappealing against a light coloured wall. Be precise when you put the clip on the bottom as once it is in position, it is impossible to move so mine is currently a bit off centre and I can’t move it.3
Bought based on previous happyLiloBought based on previous happy experience with the product, except for the price. I guess inflation has hit even IKEA!4
Perfect for blocking heat and lightAmyThese blinds are easy and functional. Would love it if there were some alternate sizes, eg a 90, 70cm or 50cm would make a big difference to adding together to get different sizes. It would also be wonderful to have a longer option for glass doors. Otherwise great!4
