GoDear Design 99% Blackout Adjustable Sliding Vertical Blinds for Doors 45.8"- 86" W x 96" H, Extendable Panel Track Blinds for Windows, Metallic Luster Trimmable Natural Woven Fabric, Shadow +

Like the look, the mechanism, the privacy, the price!Reason it's a 4 and not a 5 star...Not truly blackout as advertised. They do let a little light through the fabric itself. Not able to mirror 2 blinds to open and STACK the same way. This is important because I have a 12 foot wide sliding patio door. Both of these 6 foot blinds meet in the center and have four tracks, from inside to outside they stack ONLY ONE WAY, so when closed for instance, on the left you see the inside track blind pulls to center position, but on the right, the outside track pulls to the center. And because this is where the two meet, it looks odd. The inside track and outside track come together in the middle. It would be great if I could close both sides and have them meet at the middle either inside to inside, or outside to outside.I'm trying to figure out how to modify the tracks stacking mechanism to fix this issue.Keep in mind, this would only affect people using 2 blinds in a large slider situation like mine.These blinds are beautiful and function great. Overall, I love them!

You never know what you’re gonna get when the description states “Blackout”. This item is for a true Blackout shade and the quality of the kit is really good. The instructions are very easy to follow and the they even provide you with a hole drilling template. The most time consuming part was trimming the excess from the bottoms but once you cut the first panel just use the cut piece as your template for the remaining panels. I like how it provided friction guards for the two panels that have the pole.

Arrived a day ahead of schedule…. Even prettier in person than the photos!!!! Has tiny silver threads in it that compliment our decor nicely.Really sturdy material and hardware. Spare parts included! Even has complete and easy to use instructions.SUPER IMPRESSED!!!!

Wasn’t sure if I’d like these or not. I have very much liked them. Weren’t too bad to install, and they work really well. I did off set the track on the “open” side so they didn’t block so much of the window. They are pretty wide panels, so they would block about 18” of the window. Now they only cover about 6” of window when open.Do a great job keeping light out.

Blinds look good, they were easy to install, but I just wish you could reverse the sliding tracks so the top layer can be on the left. I run into an issue where the left blind gets caught in the sliding door handle, but not that big of an inconvenience.

Nice!!! Just like pictures

Our walkout patio with sliding glass door had traditional vertical blinds from the people that lived there before us that stopped working. I was looking for an alternative because I didn't need partial light or privacy and just didn't like the procedures required for those twisting them open sliding to the side and vise versa. I also have a projector so I wanted to make the room dark as needed during the day. Being south facing, direct sunlight is nice but can be an issue trying to get the room dark.Like anything there are pro's and con's to these blinds but for me the pro's outweigh the cons. To get the cons out of the way, the first con out the gate is the instructions. I would not consider myself a handyman in general but am comfortable with Ikea type builds. When I looked at the instructions, they were extremely confusing. They provide tools to measure and mark places to predrill holes, but it didn't make much sense to me at all. I ended up skipping ahead, extended the rail to the size I needed and held it up to figure out where to put the screws.The other con is the material is easy to tear on the backside. It uses velcro to stay up and one of the panels I didn't have straight so when I went to pull it off, I grabbed it just under the velcro strip and the material on the back tore. So make sure to grab by the velcro strip to remove and re-apply.The only other con I can think of off hand is assembling the bottom portion of the panel. For some it may be easy but I had a hard time getting the fabric to lock in evenly after cutting it to size. Not a big deal but something to be aware of.As far as the pro's, once you get it up, it looks great. With direct sunlight coming in while they're shut, it does a good job keeping the room dim and has a contemporary look with sunlight variation contrasts coming in between the panels.The panels glide smooth and easily. By design it can be opened from left to right or right to left without any configuration changes. One thing I don't recall if it's advertised or not but it also blocks a lot of heat coming in from the direct sunlight. Standing by the blinds in the past I could always feel heat. With these I do not which was a nice bonus I didn't expect.Another easter egg I came across as a pro is the top rack has a channel that fits the Philips HUE LED stips pefectly to the point I could lay them in there and not even stick them to the top and holds it snug. I never intended to put lights on the top but just worked out great with the track design. :)Overall if you don't need "privacy" like with vertical blinds partially opened, I think these are a great alternative. They keep the room dark and cool. The rail system is butter smooth and panels glide with ease. There is some manual labor to get these just right and will take a bit of time if you're not used to installing things like this but once it's done, it's worth it in my opinion.

Shop around and you'll see how expensive this style of window treatment can be. Most of the offerings out there require you to provide measurements for a 'custom' blind. That word 'custom' instantly makes them very expensive. If you are handy with a few tools (and have a helping hand) these universal expandable style ones are very easy to install. I had to borrow my wife for a few minutes to hold the track system in place while taking some measurements and making marks on the wall above our sliding patio door. After that I had this thing up and the panels cut to fit in less than an hour. We chose to use the track fully expanded to 86" in order offset it with more track on the fixed glass side of our sliding door. (the door is not at wide as the panel track) This leaves less of the 24 inch panels obstructing the fixed glass portion of our door when the blinds are fully open. When it's closed it completely covers the door so you'd have no idea it's not centered. These really block out the light. We have a covered patio on the other side of the door so the door is almost always shaded. I'd imagine if the sun was shining directly on the panels the panels may let a little light through...but as far as I'm concerned these are truly room darkening.

If you want to stop cats from going to the other side get a different product. The weight at the bottom is not enough to keep them from just walking through the panels.

Very good quality!

Plus beau que sur la photo très satisfaite

Utilisé pour ma porte patio mais toute la hauteur, plafond au plancher.Facile à installer, bien fait.J'aurais donné 5 étoiles mais la pauvre qualité des panneaux m'a fait donner 4 étoiles. Ils sont faits à base de papier alors ça ne durera probablement pas super longtemps.Mais j'adore le look!
