Tools and Hardware Reviews of Redi Shade 3003236 36-by-64-Inch Room Darkening Vinyl Shade with Cord, Dove
Customer Review: Great affordable shade
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really surprised by this shade. We got this size and the larger one and both were great. It didn't quite fit the window but was easy to trim down with a box cutter. The raising/lowering mechanism is better than I expected for the price. This should last us until we can find the drapes we really want.Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently purchased these shades for some of my windows until we are ready for more permanent blinds and they are great. They look decent and open and close very easily. I bought more time than I expected until I need to buy "real" blinds.Customer Review: Great product for the price

I bought this for my son's room (hoping that he'd sleep later if the room was darkened!) It was very easy to install and looks nice enough. It does not darken the room a great deal but does darken it more than standard blinds.Customer Review: Great product, attrocious packaging
Summary: 3 Stars
Product is excellent for temporary room darkening (or even more permanent if you are careful about installing and perhaps enhancing with minimal window treatment.) However, please be warned about the packaging. Each of 5 shades came in its own box that was HUGE and loaded with paper. Completely unnecessary as all five could have fit in ONE box 1/3 of the size. It took me 45 minutes to unpack and get rid of all the packaging so I could leave the house (the five boxes completely blocked my entryway.) I was LIVID and will NEVER order these from Amazon again. I do want more and will go through another retailer. This is obviously the work of a disgruntled or zero-IQ employee that is trying to ruin Amazon's otherwise great track record. I had read another review mentioning this, but trust me NOTHing can prepare you for the insanity of this packaging. And, to make matters worse, one of the shades was bent! Completely ridiculous. Bottom line: buy these, but NOT FROM AMAZONCustomer Review: Great shade
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great shade. I have bought redi shades before; however, they always looked like a temporary shade because of the material (and no cord). This shade can easily pass as a 'regular' shade. The vinyl (which almost looks like it has a 'pattern') makes the shade look better and not temporary. You might wonder about the 'vinyl' but it's not like regular vinyl (nothing shiny here). My bedroom gets a lot of light and I was surprised how 'room darkening' these shades were. Of course they didn't make the room pitch black but they did a great job filtering out the sunlight and definitely made the room darker (almost as dark as my room darkening roller shades that I had previously). The cord is also a nice touch. It's in the middle of the shade and has a toggle which aids in the 'not temporary' look. These shades are truly peel and stick and don't look cheap at all. I didn't have to cut these shades but have previously cut redi shades and it always was as easy as gathering the shade 'together' and cutting the end with a knife. All in all, I thought they were great and would highly recommend them.
