No Tools-No Drill Cordless Roller Shades

------ why i was looking for this product----- I live on campus in an apartment right by some frat and sorority houses. I underestimated how loud they would get on the weekends and even the middle of the week. I thought I'd get a head start before they all come back from winter break to make some changes to avoid some of their nuisances; one of these being the lights. The street lights are on anyway, but when they party the lights from their buildings and leds shine into my window. I live in the basement part of my complex so my window is high up and there's really no way to completey block the light. The cops also come very often because of underage drinking, noise, or just general problems that go on during their parties. So I also have to deal with the bright cop lights . ---- why this?----- I saw this product during my search for a curtain. Im not allowed to drill holes or even use adhesive or tape here, but we use command strips anyway. I was going to get adhesive curtain rod holders, a curtain, and a rod, but there's not much space or flat area to place it on my windows. It's also above my bed and I didn't want to get wacked in the head if it happened to fall. This product looked easy to place, was affordable, and looked like an actual black out curtain. ---- application---- It was super easy to install. I didn't have fabric scissors but my regular cheap scissors worked fine to cut this. My scissors glided smoothly during the cuts. I will note that I didn't notice one of the rods was bigger than the others, so I taped two together. I was about to tape the 3rd when i realized it just slides in. So i took the tape off and just slid the two smaller ones into the bigger one. The velcro was very easy to install and sticks great! I was worried it wouldnt stick well on my window because 1) the wall is cold from the snow, and 2) there's no flat space. It wasn't a problem and the curtain adhered just fine. ----- use ----- The clips work perfectly for holding the curtain when you roll it up. The light is completely blacked out. I included a video to compare my two windows. I only bought 1 to test it but now that I know what a great product it is, I'll be ordering a 2nd one for my other window. I got this one on sale for $13 but it was originally $19. Either way, the value matches the price, and its a great solution for anyone looking for a cheap but quality fix to light blockage.

These are definitely blackout shades! The first morning after I installed them my husband woke up late and said he thought he woke up early because of how dark our room was. I thought about giving them 4 stars since I had to cut them down to size. Then I remembered I like these also because of how cheap they are and if they would be made specific sizes they would most likely be more expensive. I put the black ones in my bedroom and plan to get some white ones for another bedroom. The fact I can put these up by myself with no drilling is another plus!

They're alright. They're kinda cheap. Stick, roll them out, cut or clamp at length. It's nothing fancy but I have two. It's a quick and easy way to get blackout curtains without adding a curtain rod. I haven't had them come off at all, either by the desk or over the bed. Even with kids moving them around, etc. Overall not bad.

So far, I have purchased 3 of these on separate occasions. They are great with blocking out the light completely. My husband works night shift so I needed something to block the light for our east facing bedroom window. It also keeps our hot beach sun from baking us in an oven warming up the bedroom. Super easy to install. Super easy to roll up to allow light in. I wish I would’ve found these sooner. Installed by myself in about five minutes. For a standard size window there was no need to cut to fit. Even if it’s a little wider than the window it’s just serving its purpose that much more.

Works great. I bought one large navy blue one and split it for the 2 patio doors. Was not sure about the black back but it works great. I use cute hair clips to hold them up. Really keeps the heat out in summer!

Adhesive isn’t as strong as could be. But it is great at blocking out the light.

All pieces were there. Nice material. Sturdy clips. EASY to put up in 10 minutes!

The shades are good and block out the light well. The best part is they are easy to install and you don't need tools. The one issue is that you need stronger adhesive. Mine fell down. So if you buy these you must get your own velcro or a strong double sided tape. Which can be a bit inconvenient.
