Easy Lift Pleated Light Filtering Shades

The media could not be loaded. I was super excited to get this. The size I ordered fit the space I needed perfectly so I didn't need to cut it down to size. The previous tenants of my apartment had frosted tints on the window and I enjoy being able to see outside and letting light into my home as much as possible. I live on the first floor and it's not raised from the street so anyone can see right in and see our whole apartment so I was concerned about privacy if anyone is walking by. So I was looking at alternative tints for windows but the issue with getting other tints is that you'll be able to see outside fine in the day but anyone can see inside at night when our lights are on. So I thought of a sheer curtain but that would have taken too much work and it's such a small space. SO during my search I found these blinds that didn't need any nails or screws or drill work, just self adhesive.It fits perfectly in the gap between my cupboard and the cubby window sill and there's enough height in between that the blinds can be hidden just have to make sure not to push it up too far.Today is the first day of it being up and so far so good. It's adhered to a dry wall paint so we'll see how it holds up. I know adhesives adhere better to shiny surfaces. My kitchen isn't very bright so I'm happy that there's a way to make it brighter with these blinds. What I love is that you barely need any strength to pull it down and minimal effort to push it up.**Update July 12, 2019**Ok so the adhesion to the wall wasn’t so great and it detached BUT I think it’s because my husband was fiddling with it showing it off to our friend and it became uneven and I was trying to fix it and it and that’s when it detached. I already had a solution in mind for when a time like this came and I needed to put it back up. Adhesive sticks best to a shiny surface so I put a strip of clear 2” tape over the painted area and put a new strip of double sided tape on the blinds and stuck the blinds onto the taped area. I will update again if this was a fail.**Update November 20, 2021**Still holding up strong since my last update with the clear tape method. I was having issues with the unevenness.. I always try to pull both sides together instead of pulling the middle incase it causes a strain on the adhesive but I’m so short that to stretch for far to reach the right side is not always so perfect. So I followed the instructions to extend the blinds to the max length to reset it. It’s been levelled fine since a couple days ago.** Update March 26, 2022 **Yea it went back to being unlevelled days later. And now the string has popped on the left side. So I guess this last 2.5 years. I don’t know how to fix the pulley mechanism for the string so I just took off the base, trimmed the length and using chip clips to hold it open.

I’m so impressed with the Redi Shade No Tools Easy Lift Trim-at-Home Cordless Pleated Light Filtering Fabric Shade! Installing these shades was a breeze — I didn’t need any tools or extra help. The instructions were clear, and I was able to trim them to the perfect size for my windows in just a few minutes. The cordless design is a huge plus, making them safe and easy to use, especially with kids around.Not only were they simple to install, but they also look fantastic. They filter the light beautifully, giving my room a soft, calming glow while still providing plenty of privacy. The pleated fabric adds a touch of elegance to my space without being too heavy or bulky.I’m really happy with my purchase and would highly recommend these shades to anyone looking for a hassle-free, stylish window treatment!

I used to be a big fan of these temporary blinds. So much that our former new build still had some mounted in a couple of the windows. We have moved quite a few times and buy these every time while we wait to order our permanent window treatments. This time was very different than the rest. In our new build forever home, we have two single windows and a big picture window in our primary bedroom. The picture window was just too big so we put some light blocking drapes up temporarily while we wait for the plantation shutters to be made. The two single windows, however, were the perfect candidates for these blackout shades.Where to begin…..First off, day 1, every time we tried to pull the shades down they snapped back up. We continually had to work on pulling them down and try to somehow hook them onto our windowsill. They would obviously not stay put the majority of the time and snap back up, which then we needed to pull them down once again and try to rig them to stay for the night. You are probably wondering why I didn’t complain? Well I did go to the product site, where Amazon sends you if you have an issue with the product. However, the manufacturer will not deal with you. You’ve ordered through Amazon and not directly through their website. So that was no help at all. I don’t have the time to try and chase someone down to help me on this so I simply chalked it up to a bad decision and figured we would wait it out until our permanent window treatments are installed.And then two days ago, one of the blinds completed separated at the top and fell. You can see the attached photos. We have tried everything to get it to reattach to the base at the top of the window, including firmly pressing the sticky part, adding additional packing tape across the top of the blind to try to hold it in place, and because none of these things have worked, we are now hoping that putting five nails through the top will hold it at least for a few more days to ensure our privacy and hopefully uninterrupted sleep.It’s really too bad that this product is not what it used to be because it was amazing! These are not cheap and for them to not function as advertised is not acceptable. Don’t waste your money. If you want a simple temporary window covering in between waiting for permanent fixtures, go to Home Depot and pay $7.99 for a redishade.

Good purchase. Bought for my mom who needed them desperately to replace some that were old and tearing. Great that we could cut to fit her windows and they went up with ease. Definitely will buy again when others need replacing at her house. Good product. Think but still does the job. Would be great to have in blackout functionality for days when it's super hot out and you want to keep inside cool. Doesn't block light so well because they are white, but darker color would be great. Love the ease of pulling up and down and not needing cords

I just love these shades! They’re really easy to install and look beautiful!
