Green Mountain Vista EZ-Glide Top Down Bottom UP Cordless Cellular Shade-Size: 31x64 Color: White

These things work well, you just have to realize that the dimensions are exact, so they won't necessarily fit inside window frames which are normally half an inch off. When opening/closing you also really need to pull this down in the middle, or use two hands to lower/raise it, otherwise it'll get crooked and take you some wiggling to get it back even.

I bought my first one of these back in 2014, and I've been slowly buying more over the years. Now that I'm stuck at home due to a stay home order, I've just done 4 more of these. Installation is super simple, just 4 screws into the top of the window frame and snap in place. Never had an issue with the top down, bottom up function. Great for letting light in while maintaining privacy.I've seen some reviews complain about the blinds being uneven. These move up and down using friction, and if you don't pull up/down directly in the middle, they will get crooked, But it is super easy to straighten them. Just grab both sides, and adjust one side up/down until they're even.Negatives- The instructions tell you to put the mounts 3-4" inches from the end. This will not work due to the internal mechanisms blocking the mount. You need to put the mounts a minimum of 5" from the ends. Not sure why they don't update the instructions. It's been at least 6 years guys!- There are two plastic pieces that come with the blinds that aren't mentioned anywhere in the instruction. No idea what they're for or how to use them. I suspect it has something to do with external installation (I always mount inside the frame).- Over time, the blinds have darkened. I suspect this is just dirt/dust over time, I have tried vacuuming them, but it makes no difference. It could also be the material color has changed over time. Keep that in mind if you're like me and slowly adding these to your windows as you can afford it. You will notice the difference in shade if they're near each other.

Do not buy these!! Or even buy anything from this seller for that matter. Buying these shades has been the worst experience I’ve ever had on Amazon. I tried contacting the seller... no response. I tried contacting Amazon and was essentially told sorry they can’t help me. So not only am I stuck with three broken shades hanging in my windows, the seller won’t reply and Amazon customer service basically told me to get lost. It’s been an amazing experience. Let me tell you. I’ve been a long time Amazon customer. And this is seriously making me rethink my Amazon purchases.Previous review: They are super crooked and look a little ghetto. But if you just don’t pay attention to how crooked they hang, then they are ok. It looks like the cords inside the shades aren’t being measured and installed at the correct length. So it’s causing them to hang all jankety.Update: after a short time of gentle use, two shades have completely broken. And the third shade is even more crooked. These are absolutely horrible.

I am furious. I just finished installing the brackets to hang this product, and I followed the installation instructions exactly ("install brackets 3-4" from each end of where the shade will be installed"). As a result, the blind cannot be installed, because the brackets are lined up with the inner hardware of the headrail that controls the cords within the blinds. Do not, I repeat, do not install brackets before checking to see whether the headrail hardware will interfere with the bracket grips. Certainly, I will still be able to use the product, but not I will have to remove the brackets, the cheap screws included will almost certainly be stripped, and I will have to repair the wood window frame where I installed originally. I don't think it is asking too much for the instructions to be helpful rather than providing obstacles to an "easy installation."

:::UPDATE AFTER RECEIVING REPLACEMENT:::The replacement that came did not have the issue with the blinds being uneven so I added 1 star to my original 2/5 rating. I was able to replace them free of charge and Amazon picked up the return shipping for the first one too. For the price, I am satisfied with the look and operation of these blinds, but I don't plan to purchase additional blinds because they are "just okay". While it operates correctly and hangs evenly now, I think they don't look as nice as they could because the metal clips that hold them up are visible giving it a cheap look. This wasn't something that was obvious from looking at the picture or description prior to purchasing. For a laundry room, bathroom, or someplace where they won't be frequently operated, they'll work - but for a living room, family room, or other place where they are used frequently, I will go with something of higher quality that has a better design. I suppose this was worth the money, because a quality top-down/bottom-up shade would be over $100, and this was half that, but I would not do my entire house in these.:::ORIGINAL REVIEW:::I really wanted to love this. I purchased just one to try it, and intended to buy more if I was happy with the first one. However, I like others, received a shade that will not hang evenly. I made sure this was installed level, but when I pull the shade down, the rails will not stay even with the top rail. The right side hangs lower than the left side, giving it a sloppy look. I ordered a replacement and will update my review when I receive it. The other problem is that the mid rail when put up to the top rail does not sit flush or sink into the top rail. If the replacement is not defective I plan to put a couple magnets on each side so that it will stay put when in the closed position. The one I got also had the plastic pieces that seal the rail ends falling out. They won't stay in. And the metal clips that hold the shade up are visible when the shade is open. These are little things but they all add up and make what could have been a really nice window treatment a mess. I'm not super picky but this was poorly designed and does not sit neatly in the window like their photo shows.
