Has anyone successfully made these look professional? I'd like them for my office, but need it not to look so DIY.

Depending on the metal border around your lights, you can put them on and stretch them out enough so that they don't droop. If that makes any sense...

It does help reduce the glare but I am afraid there is no real way to "professionalize" it.

I have yet to encounter a single comment on mine that isn't positive. People are more curious or don't notice them at all, they are on the ceiling afterall. The ones that notice them end up wanting some.

Sadly, no. There is not enough magnet to make these drapes stay taunt and professional-looking. The drop and look like a re-purposed shower curtain. I recommend shaded light sleeves that cover the bulbs and reduce brightness and glare.

They are completely unfinished when they arrive. I put on a few coats of teak oil for color and let that completely dry for a week. After that I put on 2 or 3 coats of oil based varnish. They chairs look great. My personal opinion would be not to paint the chairs because they have a nice grain.

We have two in our home bar. They changes patterns on their own and are not synchronized. The one closest to a speaker seems somewhat affected by the sound but not enough to say you will notice a difference. The effects the light produces are colorful and bright. It looks professional and it is well worth the price.

What do they look like? Those are the ones I've been using for over a year. Maybe the stylist has professional grade or something?

Hi, I'll be glad to give you my thoughts on this.The LED lights get a little warm bu not to melt the type of material you will use those against acrylic/polycarb.Go for it, these look amazing.

I would recommend making a frame. The material is a bit too soft by itself. I made frames and covered them with burlap and they turned out great! Cheers.

Hi Jeffrey. We don't have any way to personalize them on our end. We manufacture them imprinted with our logo. Perhaps a local engraving shop can further personalize it for you on your end. ..Deb at HC Essentials

Hi, I just posted instructions, they should appear in the Product Images from Customers, on the right from Customer Reviews section. I hope it helps.

1. They are not thick enough to stand on their own. They a very flexible and need to be hung rather than free-standing. They have the c hooks to join them together in 3 pre-drilled holes - one hole on each corner and one in the middle (or they would sag). 2. I used them as a window decoration to obscure an ugly view of a neighbors unkempt yard and roofline. I hung 2-across & 2-down. Your measurement will depend on A)how high your ceiling is and B) if you plan on going floor to ceiling or is you are going to use fishing line to hang them a couple of feet below the ceiling. They will not be a hard, wall like surface and will move around as people bump into them or even in the breeze of an open door or window. Mine are very attractive in the window and serve their purpose of adding privacy and add to the overall look of my shabby chic office. Hope this helps.

I've seen it done before. As for doing it myself, I have not. However I am very happy with this product and the black color that I have under this. You have the ability to add as much or as little gloss as you want to get the look you are going for. I would say do it! :-)

I print them for work, on an HP Color LaserJet. They come out pretty good, except sometimes the sheets stick together when they feed so I have to watch them carefully. I do a lot of desktop design so I can set up the labels in Adobe InDesign exactly as I want them to print on the sheet. Not all software probably gives you that option.

We have ordered a bunch of these for our office. We followed the instructions and made scored a few extra times for good measure and they broke off clean. I personally think that people who rush the work are the ones cracking their panels. Also read on another reviewers that they called the company and they will pre-cut for you prior to sending. So if you are worried about cutting might want to try that route. Good luck we love ours!

Very easy, it will depend on the paint finish.... My paint was satin finish so a gloss helped. Some of then fell off at first but 95% of them stayed on. I LOVED them!!! I just moved and plan to put them up in my new room.

Yes. They did fine. I went to a professional engraver. I handed them out as groomsmen gifts.

Yes. I had the same issue. I centered them when I placed them. They worked out great.
