Great value

The blinds are temporary so they're made from paper but they work well and I like that I was able to install them under existing blinds. We're using them in a nursery and they make the room as dark as night. Since six come in a box you can also have some on hand if you travel and want to darken a room for napping. I recommend them.

Great item, can't beat the price!

I got these today and put them up about an hour ago - it took all of five minutes. I was debating whether to try them, and to tell you the truth, the review that made me decide to get them was the 1-star 'don't buy this product' review - it described exactly what they were and it sounded like they were exactly what I was looking for.
I live on a street just off of a major road in a very collegiate neighborhood. During the day I get a LOT of sun, and at night there is a very bright streetlight just outside my window, and it being a busy neighborhood, there are usually fire trucks going up the street at night (those wacky college kids and their candles...) As I rent, I didn't want anything too permanent, and I wanted something easily replaceable and affordable in case of any problems that might spring up. I put these up behind my white roller shades and they're going to work fantastically - I can't wait for my day off when I can finally SLEEP through the morning!
They are heavy, but flexible, very thick paper, thinner than oaktag/posterboard but very dense. The accordian pleat is very stylish. You raise and lower them by gathering the amount of shade you want to raise and clipping them with the plastic clips that are included in the box. To cut them, don't use a knife - a simple pair of scissors works just fine, as long as you don't try to cut the entire shade in one fell swoop.
The box of 6 shades was $30, with free super-saver shipping - at five bucks a pop, they're well worth it (I certainly couldn't fold posterboard this accurately, that's for sure!) My roomates will probably use a couple, and again we have extras as well as the lengths cut off from the shades to use for something I'm sure.
They're probably not good if you want to raise and lower them often as I'm not sure how long the adhesive would hold, but even so you could just get a roll of heavy duty double-stick should they come down.
I'm quite happy with these.

Awesome Shades!

Super easy to put up, they do a great job blocking out the sun; easy to cut, and if you cut them exact, no light will shine through. Sleeping during the day in a dark room is a breeze, and blocking out lights at night whether it's cars, homes, people, etc - is no issue anymore!

Awesome except for adhesive!

It's easy to cut and blacks out great. It actually looks pretty nice for just being thick paper. Comes with clips if you want to open it or clip it to the bottom of the window. The only problem was the adhesive. It fell after 5 minutes and attached to a lower section of paper tearing it. Now I only have 5 shades instead of the 6 included. I used clear tacks under the adhesive section and it works fine now.

Perfect!!!

I was looking around for the blackout curtains, but they were expensive and cumbersome to put up. After receiving these I had two rooms done in less than a minute! They look great, come off easy and really do block out all the light and heat. My only gripe is that the cutting blade really should have come with the shades, instead of having to purchase it separately.
