Mainstays 1" Cordless Vinyl Light Filtering Mini Blinds, White, 23" W x 42" L

These blinds have been around for at least 2 decades, and probably much longer. The older ones have pull strings to raise and lower them. These don't have that string. You just push up or pull down at the bottom. Installation is different than the old style. Those had plastic brackets that you screwed on top of the window frame. The brackets had sliding front pieces that secured the blind. The new models use a steel bracket that sits either under or over the blind, and clamps into a channel in the vinyl or plastic frame. They are easier to install. But, if you're replacing the old style, you'll have to completely remove the old brackets, possibly drill new holes and screw them on in vertical alignment on both sides. Then you insert the stick to open and close the slats. Note, that the new stick is incompatible with the old style, which had a steel hook for the stick. The new ones have a piece of plastic coming out the left side, which the stick plugs into via a compression fitting made of plastic. If you break that plastic part, you're S.O.L and will have to buy a new blind, or find a left over stick from a previous replacement when that blind broke. Note %232: Cats tend to destroy these blinds! Other than that, the blinds work fine. You can tilt the slats up or down to control the light, or raise or lower them. They occupy about 5 inches when fully raised (the same size as the box they came in).

Bought this cheap blind for my laundry room. It doesn't get messed with often so I can't really speak to the quality/longevity after daily use. We really enjoy that it is cordless. These shades do not block out much light as they are very thin vinyl so I probably wouldn't recommend it for a bedroom, it's more so a privacy blind.
