Probably temporary but priced right; an excellent, simple solution!
Breaking out to just over $4 per shade (bought as a pack of 6), you really can’t go wrong. The shades are extremely easy to install and immediately solve light filtering needs. I was skeptical of the sticking power and used a little rubbing alcohol as an extra cleaning step on the window frame prior to installing; the shade stuck quickly and seems to be securely in place, even after adjusting it up and down a few times. The clips are super noticeable and cheap-looking, and I prefer three across the 36″ shade width (I’ll look for something more inconspicuous to hold them up). These are truly paper – thin, easily bent/dented, and would certainly not hold up to any moisture or much contact. These shades are 5 stars in my book based on the price point and simplicity of the solution. I do not expect them to last forever and would probably look for a longer-term solution if I planned to have shades in place forever, but they are a fantastic way to meet shorter-term needs.

Quick and easy solution
They look great and make the room feel more open with shaded natural light. The only issue is the adhesive doesn’t work sometimes so I used command strips to keep them in place but they are easy to cut with a box cutter and super easy to install. Plus you don’t have to drill anything or hammer any nails or find a stud. Highly recommended.

OK for temporary use – but the glue doesn’t keep these attached (SEE RECENT UPDATED REVIEW)
UPDATE: I’ve had these ‘temporary’ shades up far longer than I planned and/or expected and they have held up quite well. Yes, I had to add additional two-sided tape in a couple of places, but all in all, my bargain has turned out to be a real money-saver until I can afford what I truly want. I’ve had to raise my rating to 4 stars.I bought these to use as temporary window covering. They definitely look better than putting sheets (or worse) up at your windows. They are easy to trim and install but I found that the glued part does not stay attached to my window frame. I now have pretty horrible looking bands of tape holding these up. So, they’ll be even more temporary than I intended. I also found that without the clips securing the bottom, the shades fell out of the window sill and began to stretch out.My largest windows are 53″ tall. When I first installed these, they were about 6″ short of the bottom, but in a day, the pleats relaxed and they reached the window sill. Lastly, when I opened the boxes, the shades were bent on one end. Fortunately, I did not need the full 48% width. These need to be packed in a box that’s about 3″ longer.PROS: Inexpensive, easy to install, provide a degree of privacy and look perfectly ok from the outside.CONS: The glue doesn’t hold, the shades arrived bent and the length may not be sufficient

Absolute Rubbish
Bottom Line: Did not stick to window frames for more than 24 hours (some much less than that), did not cover anywhere NEAR to the listed length (72″) which is probably attributable to the pleats though should be considered false advertising, and one blind in a box of 6 was less than HALF the length and looks to be a case that material ran out of a machine when fabricating and nobody noticed.Long version: I have a new home with far too many large windows and no blinds. I needed something cheap and quick while I order real window treatments so my family could change their clothes without putting on an adult exhibition. I needed 30 windows covered and these blinds got good reviews from The Wirecutter so I gave it a go. I bought 5 boxes, cut them to the necessary sizes, and attached to the top of the window frame as directed by included instructions.Immediately it was clear that my 69″ tall windows would not be effectively covered. Of my grievances with this product, this is the most acceptable. The 72″ in the product description clearly refers to the length of the paper material and not the size of a window it covers. I should have *PERHAPS* done more due diligence here, but I think it’s pretty poor game that the manufacturer doesn’t give you a clue as to how big of a window these blinds cover. So, it sucks, I think it’s not right, but I can maybe see where the mistake was mine and not the maker.However, one blind in the boxes I ordered was extremely too short, even when pulled entirely flat. This was clearly a mistake by the manufacturer. You can even see how the blind ends halfway through a pleat. Someone forgot to fill the machine and I got odd-end. Should have some better QC there.But the worst is that the blinds simply wouldn’t stick. I have a new construction house, I don’t know if the brand new paint on the windows made any difference, but of the 30 blinds I have hanging, I think maybe 5 or 6 have stayed up without falling. The rest of the 25+ fall daily, at odd times, and I have to climb up and hang them again (remember, 69″ tall windows, I need a ladder to fix this) only for them to fall again the next day. On the second day of re-hanging, the blinds started to fall and stick to themselves, so now 3 are ruined because the paper tore trying to unstick the folds.I’m extremely dissatisfied with this product. I don’t know if my experience is unique, but as far as stickiness goes, I had 5 boxes of this stuff and they all exhibited the same falling behavior, so I can’t say it’s just a lemon in my batch.I will note that I saw reviewers who suggested using a bit of rubbing alcohol on the window before sticking. I have done this in one case recently and it hasn’t fallen again yet, but it’s only just been over 24 hours (a new record). However, this tip about alcohol is not in the instructions and shouldn’t be considered ‘normal’ hanging. Also, I think the reason this works is because the alcohol compromises the paint a bit (the whole upper sill became sticky to the touch after applying the alcohol) so I can’t say this is a good approach if you ever hope to take these paper blinds down.

**UPDATED REVIEW**
These shades to the job, but you should plan on trashing at least one or two shades until you get the hang of installing them (unless you don’t care what they look like). One lesson I learned is once you get it cut to the right size, hold it in place and only peel off the left half of the adhesive strip, press it in place, then finish peeling off the right side and press the entire shade in place. Our shades have only been up for one day. Hope they stay. In a lot of cases, two plastic clips aren’t enough to attach the shade to the bottom of the window. Good luck! **UPDATED REVIEW** Even I followed the installation directions and they initially looked good, they have started to fall and just like other reviewers have mentioned, if the adhesive strip sticks to the paper part, you probably have a ruined shade. I wish there was a better way to adhere the shade to the window frame without taking the chance of peeling off paint when it’s time for them to come down. The second photo shows what you can expect the shade to look like if you can manage to put it back in place. Most likely some of the shade will be torn.

Loved these, they are easy to install and looks like a real blind. Didn’t like the clips they look like clothespins could be nicer

super bien emballés, mais malgré tout un bout d’un côté plié, maisj’ai réussi à déplier en manipulant avec soin.Satisfaite, ils sont rares en papier, les autres sont comme du tissus etils n’adhère pas à la surface lorsqu’on les colle, mais en papier ils collentbeaucoup mieux.

Las compré por $200 pesos y son 6 cortinas. Excelente para cubrir temporalmente; son de papel pero se ven muy bonitas. Fáciles de cortar y de pegar.

They are perfect. Made out of high quality paper and look amazing. Filter out light but not entirely. I am not regretting my purchase and that what matters. I would anyday choose these over traditional blinds in future. Long lasting.
