GoDear Design Vertical Blinds Closet Doors 45.8"-86" x 96", Pecan | Panel Track Blinds for Windows and Sliding Closet Doors with Adjustable Track and Trimmable Panels to 96"

After reading reviews here, I went ahead and ordered these panels as I wanted to change the look in the Family Room. These panels are modern looking and were easy to install. The hardest part (for me) was cutting the length of the panels as I needed them to be 80 inches instead of 96 (the standard height of each panel). That was tedious because I had to measure each panel three times (left, right and center) to make sure I had the correct length before cutting. The last thing I wanted was uneven panels. My sliding glass doors are 96 inches wide so I needed to buy two sets. Each set has a maximum track width of 86". I also did not want the panels, when fully retracted, to block my outdoor view. So I wanted the track to be 142" long (96" width of door + 23" x 2, the width of each panel) so I could stack the panels to the left and right of the door opening to maintain the full view. If you are installing multiple tracks side by side, you can remove the plastic end caps of each track at the joining point. This way the panels can slide past the end of one track into the next and avoid any gaps. You can build a valance to cover the tracks if you're concerned that too much of the hardware is visible when the shades are retracted. In my case, I had enough panel material left from the panel cuts to use for the valance. Overall, I highly recommend these. I had looked into the Ikea panels, but those were of inferior quality and the cost would have been almost the same. I preferred the higher quality. The panels look amazing when closed during the day as they filter the light and brighten the room while maintaining full privacy (you cannot see through these panels). In summary, get these without hesitation if you've been considering them.

These vertical track blinds are beautiful! They are perfect for our bedroom sliding door window. They are very easy to open/close, the material is sturdy, they came with fray guards to place at the bottom of each panel & each panel slides on its own track so that you can open them from both sides. My husband and I hired our friend, a maintenance professional, to put them up for us & it took him approximately thirty minutes to complete. We are happy with how they look, glide & believe it was worth the $$$. We would appreciate being able to buy these same blinds for our bigger living room sliding glass door but they don't have the appropriate size. ☹️

I ordered these because the price was right and I was desperate. I had the same style sliding door blind that I purchased from another company. The price to replace my worn out blinds was higher than I could pay at the time I ordered these. So I ordered these knowing that the color would clash with the room. We are on the threshold of painting and replacing carpeting and flooring so the house is in disarray anyway. But the sturdiness and design of these is better than the blinds that I had. Each panel is held up with velcro like my old blinds were. Eventually, through the years the velcro wore out. This is a sliding door that gets used like it's our main entrance. Also, we have late afternoon sun come directly and annoyingly through that door. The blinds are subject to a lot of use and abuse. I don't expect this velcro to survive much better but the hanging rods make the blinds easier to slide open and closed so the abuse shouldn't be as much. The darker color that would have blended better had more of an open weave. I was afraid it wouldn't block enough of that late afternoon sun. When the sun is beating on the sliding door the blinds glow like the bright sun right after a sunrise. Not what I was going for but it is cool.

This worked well to cover patio door. Easy to install and use. Does not come with a valance to hide brackets so keep in mind.

These blinds went into my mobile home, an old '73 model which I am rehabbing, and my sliding glass doors needed an upgrade from some ugly curtains that were there previously. I considered vertical blinds but then happened upon these, which I think turned out great. I built a custom valance for it with building materials that cost all of $20 and added some metal protection plates in the upper left corners of the blind panels that I bought here on Amazon for $7 (Art3d 4-Pieces Peel and Stick Stainless Steel Backsplash Tiles). I'd seen from other GoDear Sliding Panel reviews how the delicate panels could get damaged by the panel pull rod and figured I'd protect them all. The backsplash tiles were pretty easy to cut with a utility knife (scoring several times on both sides and then snapping) and they are backed with a sheet of heavy-duty adhesive (I think they'll stick forever on the woven fabric panels which are mostly made of paper and polyester). But if you want to do the same as I did, beware, because the pull rod needs to be adjusted so it sticks out more away from the panel. You might do different protection plates made of plastic or thinner metal panels that would work without adjustments. The sliding track that came with my original shipment was damaged and I had to write the company to replace it; they replaced it immediately (for free) and that was a huge relief. The panels are indeed woven paper/polyester and I'm not sure they'll last as long vinyl vertical blinds, but they've been up for three months now and still look like new. They certainly won't take a beating like vinyl blinds can, but vertical blinds have their own maintenance issues. To be honest, I think I would go with these sliding panels even if they broke down, since I love the way they look. You can buy replacement sliding panels, but a pair cost $60 and to replace all four you might as well buy the whole kit and get the sliding track as well (which is beautifully built and has other DIY applications for the creative handyman type). I would have given this four stars, given the broken sliding track and how I question the durability of the panels (and how I felt I had to take a step further to protect them), but GoDear was very responsive with the track replacement and only time will tell how really durable the panels are. Given that I love the overall appearance and have pretty much written off ever doing conventional vertical blinds again, I must give GoDear the full five stars. I think GoDear should make the plastic parts on the sliding track out of metal (the plastic is what broke) and that would solve the track issues. This is really an affordable and brilliantly designed alternative to boring old vertical blinds.

These blinds are really nice. Clean lines. Measure twice before cutting the length. Little bit of work but worth it. Love the look!

Great product. Super easy to install fits the windows perfectly!

Used a product like this from IKEA. Better design. Design Issues: 1. No valance application means hardware is noticed n is rather ugly for a finish modern look: Create a valance tape to match I had plenty of curtain material leftover. 2. No valance, consider designing hardware carrier system hangers from directly behind the track system. Use a two bolt, wide steel hanger for wall and option your hanger for ceiling. 3. Track system isn't extendable with continual sliders. Each track system is only 86 inches long, adding additional track systems dead ends the curtain panel movements to a single track system. IKEA was connectable/continual. 4. Curtains can't be moved around in track to arrange different layers. When adding more than one track system the curtain panels always move/stack left to right. NO good if trying to create more fluid panel look, especially in the middle panel area of two tracks. I had to buy 2-86 inch units, only needed 187 inches. 5. All in all it's not a bad idea for affordable replacement of sliding glass door coverings. Through out old verticals and this is much better look. I needed two track systems because my space was 187 inches wide n 83 inches long. Looks fine, but could be much better design. Looking forward to covering the front window. It needs 2 track systems as well. Thank you.

Jai cacher une pièce de rangement...donc installer au plafond...Superr beau...facile à installer...j'adore

Straight forward installation. Smooth operation and good looking.

I was a bit leary on buying these. The reviews were mixed but I did like them and the price was great. I installed these in my sleeping cabin at our cottage. I love them! Easy to install and they were better made then I thought. I would recommend these to buy. Really happy.

I purchased these to use instead of sliding doors for my closet and it made my room look amazing! Extremely satisfied with this product.

Pour notre porte patio, qualité et facilité d'installation. Il est parfait
