We love ours. Definitely not the top of the top elements and it didn’t come with instructions but it had been saving us every single day since we installed it. I love the brown black woven fabric. We decided we are getting another one!

Good quality but difficult threading the cover to the pole. Top of the pole has a small slit in which you need to push the fabric in while pushing a plastic cord through the sides line. Our shade was 12 foot long and plastic cord broke halfway through the spline should be more pointed on the end and more flexible for threading. We had to thread the remaining spline on the opposite side to complete the process.

Kind of hard to put together and install but they work great to block out the light.

They sell this at a 14' width, and I can confirm that they shouldn't. It comes in three pieces that just bow very much in that length. In addition to that, the plastic hardware feels very cheap and I'm afraid won't last long. Finally, the pieces that they include to hold the bottom of the shade down will unclip from the bar in the lightest of winds. Not worth the inexpensive price.

The shades arrived on the day indicated and are already in use. I think I will have a more enjoyable summer.
