great shade, great price!
By Sherried
I purchased this shade at the beginning of the summer so it's been installed for about 3 months now. I have it mounted on the "sunny side" of our sunroom and it has definitely made the room much cooler! Although we have had a fairly rainy summer here in beautiful Bucks County, the shade still looks brand new. My husband reports that it was easy to install. The price I found here on Amazon beat all the competitors so this was excellent purchase all the way around.

Fabric and colors are nice. Great shade!
By Jazznme
SEE update below. I was pleased with the blinds, but would have preferred an 8' length option. What I didn't like was the dangle of the cord. The bracket install was a little hectic, as I needed to switch the cord side to the left on one of the two shades I was installing on my patio. Once completed, they looked nice and suitably blocked the sun.My biggest complaint is now, about 2 or 3 years later. The shades were removed when the house was painted. My painters only removed the shades and painted around the brackets. They replaced shades when done.About a week later, I went to lower the shade, and it came flying out of the bracket and knocked me in the head. Then I went to inspect the other--aware now, there might be a problem--it too came out of the bracket, but I caught this one with my hands, not my head. By the way I am a woman. And I installed them originally, and had no such problem.I got out my paper work and reread the instructions. Looked at both clutch and idle end plugs. Strung up one shade. Inside the idle end plug, the post needs to glide in and then this little piece functions to lock it in place, so it can't slide out. That little piece did not flex, it snapped and broke. So now I can't hang them. Will try to call Coolaroo and get a replacement part. The piece does come out separate from the bracket if you pry it out with a sharp edge. Just a hassle I didn't need right now.4/21/13 I've had these shades now over 6yrs. And they still look great! I'm upping the star rating to 4. Nearly a 5, excepting installation is not a breeze, BUT I think for a man it would be. These are great shades! Yesterday I rolled them all the way down just to give them some motion. They looked stained on the exposed portion. And I thought it was weathering stain. Not! Today I put some liquid soap in a bucket, with water and gave them a scrubbing. First, I had hosed them off and noticed they looked better. Then I realized they were dirty. They came out beautiful! And still look like new. They get so much sun, I thought they would start deteriorating by now. And someone said they didn't block enough sun. I think they're perfect! My FR is dark enough. Plus I have security doors that have the protection screen--also blocks sun. Love these shades!

By Flyguy
Have had three of these shades up for three years, in the AZ sun. Shades have heldup remarkably well. Only problem I've had is all of the idle end latches have broken at least once (all but one twice). This seems to be a common problem. It wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't a hassle getting replacements. Local dealers do not (or cannot) stock spare parts so have to order them (shipping to a dealer - Home Depot - saves shipping costs) but still a hassle, and they are presently out of stock from Coolaroo. Next time I order I will get some extras and try to remember where they are the next time one breaks (and it will).
