Review: Hater's going to hate, this product is great :P :) - SO glad that these have finally arrived....having read most all of the reviews, and hemming and hawing for 6+ months, I finally decided that these shades were worth a try...hubby works second shift, so sleeping in is a nice thing to be able to do...being super sensitive to light, and sick of the curtains I had up, I was desperate for an alternative. When these came, I just about ran to meet the UPS delivery man, ran back inside and immediately got everything out to put them up... Okay, first of all, yes, these are just thin paper....HOWEVER, they are not as cheap as construction paper. Also, for those grouchy about this, I'm not sure you could get enough paper to cover a window for $6, and then you would still have to fold it perfectly, and have the clips to hold it in place...It helped having read the reviews, and expecting the worst case scenario, and knowing that I was "just" getting paper....I'm super clumsy, and these poor shades have been through a bit already, and they're holding up just fine...one window is above our bed, and we don't have a headboard, so it's subject to abuse by pillows and restless sleepers all night, and seems to be doing fine. I do fold my shades back up during the day, because in my mind that will help preserve them. Second of all...the adhesive strip...I'd say it's a little more than that, because it sticks super well. If you're trying to adhere it to a wet, grimy, or super cold surface, I could see how it might not stick, but applied with care, mine have been up for a few days now, no problem. I peeled back a little at the time, and followed, pressing it firm with my thumb. One edge of one of the shades had pulled away from the woodwork, but pressing it firmly back into it's place, it has stayed ever since. Third, "Does it work??" ...I would say yes! If you are expecting for 120% total darkness, I would suggest perhaps painting your windows an opaque black. If you would like to significantly darken your room, I would absolutely recommend these shades. a bit of light does peek out from the sides, where I didn't measure and cut exactly to fit, and they are not thick and opaque, but I have to scenarios, that I think demonstrate fairly well how they work. The other evening, we went to my in-laws for dinner, for their safety, we crate our dogs when we are gone (crates are in the bedroom where these shades are up), so they don't get into something that they could get hurt with (and are never gone for more than around 2.5 hours), we always leave the light, and the TV going to make it nicer for them. When we returned from dinner it was around 8:30pm (which on the east coast = DARK this time of year)...as well pulled into the driveway, my stomach fell as I saw the bedroom windows were dark--"Oh my gosh, I forgot to leave anything on for the pups" ...I ran inside to start apologizing (yes, I am that kind of dog lady), only to find the light was on, and the TV was going--no exaggeration, you could not tell from outside in our driveway. Second example was this morning...when waking up, I was immediately disappointed thinking I had only slept until around 5ish, and that it was going to be a dreary day...upon fully waking up I saw that it was more like 8ish, and it was a bright sunny day--NEVER would have known with these shades up. So, after writing a small novella, I will conclude in saying, if you feel like these shades might work for you, then I would definitely give them a try...I would say that they are well worth the $6 a piece (worth more, but desertcart, please don't jack the price). If the belly aching 1-star people have such high and specific expectations/needs, they should be shopping in a store, in person.... You can't be that picky, and expect something for nothing (no disrespect, but come on...really now...).
Review: Great for darkening any room. - These are a great product and a great price. I bought them for my kid's rooms because their windows are flooded with light both in the early morning and in the early evening. They are young, so going to bed at 7:30p was difficult because there was so much light in the room. I didn't want to put blinds with cords in the room not only the risk of them choking, but they can use it to pull down the blinds. I used blankets to cover the window, but there was still lots of light leaking in making the room pretty bright. Plus the blankets covering the windows looked a little odd. First, I put up one shade in my older child's room and there was an instant difference. I wouldn't have thought it would have been so dramatic with just a black paper pleated shade. Next I put one in my younger child's room, which gets even more light, and you can see the difference in the photo. The first photo has the blanks over the window and you can see just how much light is coming in. There is still light after I put up the shade, but it's much less and there are no blankets up! There would probably be even less light if I spent a little more time in cutting it better. Cutting it is easy. I would recommend using a ruler and a blade to cut all the layers at once or in as few strokes as possible. I used a pair of scissors and just kinda held it up and cut it. It worked fine, but it's not super straight and doesn't fit the window perfectly. I might take them down and use new once since this comes with 6 shades. I haven't used the clips yet, but they seem straight forward. I don't know that I want to use them in the kid's room because they might pull them off and either put them in their mouth or lose them. If I have a need for more shade I will not hesitate to buy these again. Update: I've had these for about 2 weeks now. They still work great, but the double sided tape doesn't hold up very well. I've found it has fallen down every 2-3 days. The clips seem to make it fall down more, my guess is the extra weight. I'm going to try using velcro so I can take them down completely if I need to. One note I didn't make before was the the shade didn't go completely down to the bottom of the window without pulling on it. After being up for a few days it does stretch out to the bottom of the window. The only other comment is that you need two hands to put this up and put the clips on it. It's not a bad thing, but you can't do it with a baby in one hand. Overall still a great product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How well do these block out the light? I need something that completely blocks the light out. Anyone got a picture of how well these work?**
A: You can use scotch tape (or any other good tape) and use black trash bags which you likely already have to black out the window for significantly cheaper than these. I used a 30 gal 1.2 mil trash bag on my window which covered the whole thing, and it blocks out about 95% of the light. The drapes then block out the rest creating total black out. If you were to buy the heavy duty "yard trash bags" that are 2 mil or thicker, I guarantee those would blackout a window alone. A 50 gal yard or construction trash bag would cover a huge window. With my drapes (which I never open) you can see the trash bag either so it doesn't look bad. The window its on faces my backyard so nobody will ever see it outside. This window unfortunately faces east so the rising sun beams in my window and I work nights and come home to go to sleep in the morning. This works like a charm!

**Q: what kind of tape to use?**
A: 2 my redi Shade easy life cordless shades keep falling, the seal tape  liner stopped working, how do I get more tape for my 2 blinds that are 60" x 64"?  Where do I order the tape from?   Looking forward hearing back you soon.  Thxs

**Q: Is it sturdy enough to be taken on and off daily, without ruining the adhesive?**
A: A simple solution to mounting them daily is to use push pins or thumbtacks. If you cannot push them into wood to hold the blinds at the top of each side then use a tiny hammer or the rubber handles of a pair of pliers.  When you leave if you're worried about the holes created by use of pins or tacks just spackle them with wood dough.  You might use the same holes to push the pins into.

**Q: Can I use these in my apartment where there are already existing permanent blinds (not blackout ones) which I cannot remove?**
A: The blinds are about 1 1/2 inches in depth. If you have room between the permanent blinds and the window they should fit. The top sticks to the window and unfolds downward as far as you want. They provide a clip to set the height.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick Fix Blackout Pleated Paper Shade Black does the trick
*by N***T on July 12, 2015*

Quick Fix Blackout Pleated Paper Shade Black, 36" x 72", 6 Pack The Quick Fix Blackout Pleated Paper Shade Black is not too bad. The shades are kind of thin. They feel like a heavyweight paper, kind of like heavy resume paper. They come with an adhesive tape to hold them to the window, and I found this to work very well. In other reviews I saw people recommended purchasing 3M adhesive tape to ensure the shades stay up, but I found if you clean the window area properly with some alcohol, there was no issue with the shades falling. There are six shades in the package which is great. The shades were super easy to cut to size. I just followed the instructions provided. Once you have them hung, I found using the supplied plastic clips to hold the shades mostly “closed” while hanging was the best method for me. They are easy to raise and lower and keep that way by folding them together or releasing them. They do a phenomenal job of blocking the light. The only real negative I can provide is that one of the blinds was partially torn in two spots which I was able to tape. It was not the most professional looking thing, but for the price point it did the job. Update – after about six months I removed them and hung new Faux wooden blinds from Lowes. I spent almost $700 after installation. The reason I finally replaced the Blackout Pleated Paper Shades was more about my pride than anything else. They remained easy to use and did an admirable job of blocking light. They actually blocked light better than my new blinds do. I recommend these blinds for anyone who does not have a large chunk of money to put up blinds or in a temporary situation like an apartment. Clean the area you are installing the blinds on very well and they will stay hung. Take care while raising and lowering them and they should last you a good while, like mine did. If you found my review helpful I would appreciate that you click the “Yes” button to let me know that I am providing useful information to you and others.
