Actually these are solid blackout blinds at a great price.The roll is smooth.You guide it up,so none of the crazy spring action that can flip your roller onto the floor.The balance gives a clean look and not cheap looking.The quality of the fabric is outstanding. It feels soft and durable to the touch,and I can tell that it will withstand the test of time.There are no loose threads or signs of poor craftsmanship.Even after a few washes,the curtains have maintained their shape,color,and texture,which is a testament to their high-quality construction.Installation was a breezes down all the necessary hardware was included.Overall I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.The curtain not only look beautiful but also offer excellent functionality and quality.The blind truly made a significant difference in my home,and I ‘m happy.
