Achim Top Down Bottom Up Indoor Cordless Wheat Polyester Light Filtering Window Cellular Shade, 64" L x 36" W

These shades are in every window of my home for many years. They're nice looking and are good at filtering light. The 'up down feature is great, it allows you to pull the shade half way down a window and let sunlight in and keep bottom half of window covered for privacy. USE the plastic handles when positioning the shade... DO NOT pull the shade by the polyester material because it rips very easily. When using this proper care - they'll last a long time.

These are awesome for the price! Purchased them to replace more expensive ones I had purchases elsewhere a few years ago because they had become faded, uneven, and started to rip. The Achim shades are super simple to install and they snap in and out with ease. They are more paper-like, thinner material than my previous shades, but they are also lighter and easier to lift up and down. I love that the outside facing color is white, which helps reflect the sun. Because of that, they do a better job of reducing heat inside the room than my other ones. They are not blackout, but they are what I would call "room darkening". Also, again because the outside material is white, they provide excellent privacy at night even when the inside lights are on. I wish they had come with the little brackets you install at the bottom of the sill to help hold them in place when they are down, but other than that I have no complaints. LOVE them.
