Easy Roman ShadesRebeccaI live in a nearly 100 year old house with very wonky and weird window casings that do not fit traditional blinds without a gap. I bought this shade to cover a window in the bathroom and it has been great (I've had it installed for over a year without incident or wear).
I unscrewed the top metal hooks, slid out the plastic top support, and slid in a metal tension rod to hold these up. It worked like a charm. Highly recommend. Will be purchasing again for other rooms of my house. 5
Oh SNAP! The plastic ribs break! JohnAs other reviews mention, it's true about the plastic ribs breaking from the slightest touch after about 5 years. I was thinking about replacing mine with the same product, but I see you haven't fixed the problem. So Ikea... instead of responding with your default 180 day return policy that is useless at the 5 year mark, how about making the ribs from wood or bamboo so they won't disintegrate and become unable to stay open after 5 years? And how about making replacement ribs from the same wood or bamboo? You would also eliminate one more product made with a petroleum part from ending up in our landfills, which looks like my only option now. How disappointing to have blinds that still look good, but have to be thrown out so soon. I'm losing my faith in your store. 🫤2
Simple to installHoaiGreat shades that are easy to install and move as needed. I like that they have more sizes available now. The white provides privacy but still allows natural sunlight in. 5
Goes with everything!RoxanneI was going to make my own Roman shades. I bought all the items needed THEN saw these on the clearance rack, I picked up enough for every window in my home. They go with everything AND they were cheaper than making them myself!5
Great window shades!SemeenI needed something to match my office decor and to be able to easily adjust the shades at the height needed to block out the direct sun. These shades are amazing because you can adjust the height quickly using the magnets in the shades. They fit onto the existing curtain rod and they look great. 5
good solutionJoanthese are easy to install, attractive, and they shaded the window nicely.5
Broken ribs, loose magnets dangerous for kids/pets TaraThese blinds are great, but they have one big flaw: The ribbing that encases the magnets (that allow you to raise the shades) break within a few years, even in climates that are not sunny/hot year-round. The magnets can become loose, which is dangerous for young children and pets. IKEA should really make replacement ribs available or redesign the ribbing so that it lasts.3
Nice shadesJulietaAs almost everything Ikea sells, these shades are good looking, cleverly designed and incredibly inexpensive. Easy to install too! Very happy with my purchase.5
Top rail sagsAnonymous reviewerThe top rail is a super thin plastic tube, which sags immediately. In addition, the metal hanging 'eye' hardware, screwed into the plastic tube are loose.
I am ordering more due to the price point and use, but will replace the flimsy plastic tube with a piece of lathe or dowel before hanging. 2
Poor quality, cheap materialRobynThe reason I give this item 3 stars instead of 2 is because I am sure this would be just fine for a college student or someone with less than sufficient wages.
Fortunately, however, that is not my current situation; therefore I have returned them asap!3
nice EditI got the Ringblomma light fitering window treatment and it looks good. I wish they had the same with blackout fabric, too. 5
Blinds Kathleen10/10! Easy to hang, looks great. 😌 5
Best faux Roman shadeMadelineWould recommend. Have these in several rooms. They look nice on a drape rod as well. 5
Why not producing it in 36x63" anymore?AtabayI dont know why Ikea stop manufacturing ringblomma in 36x62'' size anymore. They have all sizes except 36''. Same for the striped variation.5
Best faux Roman shadesMadelineI have been using these for seven years. They don’t fade and they last. I have used them in kitchen, office bedrooms, and even bathrooms. They also work as a valance over blinds on a curtain or drapery rod, just remove the screws and plastic insert. No one else sells anything like this. Please don’t ever discontinue this product.5
Great shade coverHoaiThey are easy to install and easily adjustable panels that use magnets to hold in place. I use command hooks in case I want to move them. They provide enough privacy and yet you still get natural light. Love them! 5
Nice shadeJenniferThe bright white shade adds a crisp modern detail to my 1870s home. Live the magnets!5
Broken SlatsMaryannBecause these are in the hot hot sun, the plastic slats have become brittle and are breaking. There are not any replacement parts for these and there is still wear left in my fabric blinds.1
7 years later...EmilyWhen we bought our house 7 years ago, there were no window treatments and I exclusively used ikea blinds. Different styles for different spaces. I can say that the quality really differs between styles. I'm certain that these ringblomma blinds were a lot cheaper then. But we're now at the point where several of ours (in our dining room) are starting to break and I don't want to replace them at this price point! The plastic bar that the 2 little magnets are on becomes brittle and snaps at the magnet site after about 5-6 years. One is particularly bad and I can't get the magnet to connect because it slides around in the fabric sleeve. Can I make a replacement bar out of a dowel?? Will contemplate. I like the concept, but think about cheap plastic with constant UV light exposure...not a recipe for a lasting product, sadly. C'mon, Ikea! At least offer replacement plastic bars.2
Quick and easy to put up. No drilling required SuzetteBest shade. Great price! I wish they came in different colors. 5
