Radiance Imperial Matchstick Bamboo Roll-Up Blind with 6" Valance in Fruitwood

These bamboo blinds are way too thin to keep the sun off my Georgia porch. I thought they'd be a lot thicker. They definitely aren't serving the purpose I bought them for.

Blinds broke first time we rolled them up, waste of money. Not even one star worth, don't waste your money.

3 stars since I EVENTUALLY got them to do what I expected, after quite a bit of work. That's ok since I have the time, they are very inexpensive and I like the look. I first ordered two 60 and one 30 for my big screened porch. The biggest, and I mean a BIG problem, is the silly plastic things that supposedly anchor the cord, safety things, in case I make the cord into a noose. Well they are strong enough to pull up the 30, but immediately come out trying to pull up the 60ers. So I took them down and carefully drilled holes in the back, attached small wood screws and tied the cords to the screws. No more safety for me. I will take my chances. 3 weeks later I ordered a 48er for the other side of the porch. Again, a safety thing blew out, not a problem .....I am good at this now. However, even though all four blinds are fruitwood, the color of this 4th one is waaay lighter, not close to matching the first 3. Disappointing but I am tired of dealing with them now and will go with it. Finally, these blinds only filter light. The product photo makes them look a lot more private than they really are. Get the flat bamboo sticks if you want better privacy.

Bought a few of these several years ago and only did one side of the porch (where the sun hit), so I finally bought the rest of the windows to match. Easy to install and theyve all weathered well - color and durability. If youre looking for something that blocks the worst of the sun in your eyes, but doesnt completely block out the view or breeze, then these are perfect.

It is too transparent and hence negates its purpose.. The photo is misleading, it should show some of the trees on the right hand side showing through, as that is what it does. It did however arrive promptly, had all of the hardware necessary for installation, seems of good quality.

Beautiful blinds at a great price. One of the blinds did have a broken piece where the roll up cord was supposed to be secured, but I was able to fix it with a small screw, just glad I didn't have to return it.

Bought these blinds for screened porch that is mostly shaded. The blinds provide no privacy. The blinds were not "hang-ready" as the strings were not attached completely. Disappointed and will use till I can find others. The company was once again first rate in shipping and delivery promises.

I bought the bamboo blind to block late afternoon sun on my porch and I wanted to be able to see thru it. Happy with my purchase, easy to install.

My husband and I bought these shades to help shield out sun from our westward facing apartment/patio. They look very nice, and if set up correctly, they do pull up and go down. So far they are doing a pretty good job of keeping the patio cooler. The only negative that I have is that the shade is not as thick as the picture would have it seem. They are pretty see through, however I feel they still do their job. All in all, I like this product and I would recommend it to a friend.

These in use outside with full exposure to the afternoon sun. It will be interesting to see how long they last in the heat and ultra violet rays of the Arizona sun. This product was not rated for outdoor use. But it was the only thing I found that was the size I needed.
