Could you please let me know if the shade has an area where the fabric ends &amp; there is a visible seam. Thanks.

Yes. There is a seam. I have it facing away from the entrance to the room...once you put the glass filter, you can't see it from the other sides...only from the side where the seam is.

The fabric is synthetic, and not natural, such as cotton. The shade should withstand damp weather just fine, even with some direct rain. But, I would roll the shade up, when not needed, or during heavy blowing rain storms, just to add to its life. It might mildew over a long period of time. But, it should be generally ok with wet weather conditions.

Hi Joan,I was very disappointed with the shade. the fabric is a very light canvas, not at all sturdy. It is about 4' long, only partially shades. I returned the item. Hope this can help.Susan

no ... but a very cool product of which we bought a second and overlapped them to provide the coverage we desired. The shade may have equal sides ... but it seems to me that one side is slightly greater in length.

It is not a problem--the shade stays wherever you put it. It does not look bad if it is scrunched up a little at the bottom, and it stays in place. I bought just one at first to see if it worked ok, then bought 4 more. I am very happy with them.

I can't see a seam on the top, however the backsplash does come in two pieces which you have to attach together. After a year, I still haven't done that.

Just to clarify, the shade is not made from glass. It is made of resin (ie. plastic).

i have not cut mine - the fabric looks like it would fray - there's something called 'Dritz Fray Check' which stops fabric fraying - that might work along the edge

I think it will have some leakage from the seams. I think I had read in the directions before we set it up, it stated that it would have a little leakage from the seams. We've had no problems with ours yet, the only thing I noticed was fading of the colors from the sun!!

The seam is really hard to see, however, you can adjust the shade when installing so that it faces you desired direction.

Yes, mine has noticeable seams. It is still very pretty, but if you want a seamless look, this is not for you.

I would say that the fabric is not flimsy at all. It does let the light through but you can't see through it. It's not as heavy as canvas but has a similar texture and weave. I was totally surprised by the quality as I'm picky about that. It was also very easy to assemble and they included the tool. Although I haven't removed the cloth panels, the tool would make it very easy to do. Considering I bought it online, I'm really quite satisfied.

2 sides of mine were 18+ feet and one side was over 17'. Just requested to return because it doesn't fit my space. I also read one review that said the longest side on his shade was 14.5'. Not happy about this.

It does not hide what's behind the fabric. Especially if there is lighting on the opposite side.

You can easily poke a needle through the fabric of this lamp shade. There are inner and outer layers of fabric and at the top and bottom there is about a 1/4" of space between them but this flattens out if you smooth your hand over it.

It has tiny pin holes. If you are in the care you can see through it quite reasonably . It shades effectively from the sun but is not opaque. It's the most effective sun shade I have found for my daughter. And it allows you to Open and close the window at least haft way without any problem.
