These blinds are pretty chintzy and probably won't hold up over time, but they are miles more useful and better looking than my 10 year old mini blinds that are falling apart.
These didn't fit my windows well, and I was looking for some solution to leave a top portion of my window uncovered. I didn't end up using the mounting hardware at all. I used Command Velcro strips to attach it directly to the lower pane of my window. It works great and it looks like less gap since the frame on the lower pane is a bit smaller anyway.
Pros:
- very simple styling and clean design, they blend in well
- simple construction, no moving parts to break, lightweight
- no strings! The magnets are a great feature
- the fabric lets a good amount of diffuse light through while providing privacy
Cons:
- no way to clean the fabric besides spot cleaning. I'm not confident these will look clean for long.
- if your windows are an in between size, there will be large gaps on either side and the brackets may not even reach.
- they are intended to be folded up from the bottom, so the fabric layers unevenly.

Great, great, great!
First, let me start by saying that am in no way benefiting from this review.. it’s just my honest opinion of a great product I stumbled upon during hours of searching for quality roman shades that were reasonably priced.I recently ordered 3 of these shades but I have a total of 13 chicology magnetic Roman shades in our home and I can’t say enough great things about them! I will say that I prefer them to be inside mount since the top is bare wood and could potentially be noticeable if you hang them on a window that can be seen from above (for instance, if you have 2 story ceilings and can see the top of the shade from upstairs). But the one I have in our kitchen is an outside mount and looks great since you can’t see the top at all. I have hung all 13 shades by myself and it was very simple! These particular shades provide some privacy and minimally filter light, but I knew that based on their description and that’s what I wanted for the room they’re in. If you’re looking for a shade that blocks light and provides complete privacy, I highly recommend the chicology thermal Roman magnetic shades, which I have on 10 other windows in our home! If you’re on the fence about purchasing these, DO IT! You won’t be disappointed!
