I went with this color to match warm tones from the room’s pale yellow walls and light wood framing. But was I successful?? You be the judge! I quite like the different aesthetics the shades create throughout the day and in different indoor/outdoor lighting scenarios; personally, I found the “light filtering” variant necessary to accomplish this, but you may prefer an opaque shade to reduce incident sunlight for lower costs, or if you are a creature of the shadows. Vampires have needs too.INSTALLATION: Straightforward, requires a drill. I opted to use longer screws, but you can also drill thinner holes for more shear surface area. The shorter screws that are provided with the shade will suffice, nonetheless. The shade also comes with a plastic tab that snaps on to the bottom rail to make it easier to raise and lower.MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION: Probably should be dusted every now and then… but I will not judge you. Of note: I have had my shades up for four months, and in that time, they have lost some of their elasticity due to the ravages of Old Man Gravity. I think this is called plastic stress or deformation, and it appears to be unavoidable. It makes the shades more difficult to raise and lower.MISCELLANEOUS: Seller was very helpful and accommodating! Reasonably high quality materials and production for the price. Packaged well, and arrived in perfect condition. If you like how snugly my shades fit the portal in the pictures, I measured very carefully and so should you! (I mean measure YOUR window portal, not mine, you weirdo) The shades are available in different widths, and these are quite precise–my window portal is 80″ across, so I decided on 2×39 = 78″… somewhat nervously. I got 78″ as listed!
