Worth the price, purple shade is not much fun.

We have a ukulele from Hawaii, this one came recommended, strings are plastic unlike the real one and the purple color does not "pop" like we wanted as a gift for my 9 year old.

I love this shade because it's pretty and exactly what I needed for a specific window in my entryway. However, it is very cheaply made, and I'm not expecting it to last for many years. The pull-cord isn't really cord; it's more like heavy cotton yarn. The mechanism that is supposed to hold it in place when you pull the shade up isn't very effective and the shade often is difficult to release and unroll. When I unroll the shade, the string moves out of place, so the shade often ends up looking off-kilter and sloppy, requiring me to realign the parallel vertical strings by hand. And finally, the small, clear plastic cord cleat is way too small to handle the thick pull cord, so I had to go out and buy a 4" one at the hardware store. Still, I'm glad I have this shade because I love the subtle colors in the wood and the way it offers privacy at night and fits so nicely into my home's decor.

I bought and returned this vest. The color was nice (I chose the purple option) but it just wasn't warm enough. It would be decent for brisk summer or fall activities but not the best winter vest out there. It MIGHT be the best vest out there for under $15, but I was willing to spend more.

I have mixed feelings about this product, though the price is great (Kendall Toyota here in Miami wanted $78 for it). The "Prius" logo is VERY pale grey and barely shows (our car is Blizzard Pearl), which is okay, but you have to be very careful applying the applique to the bumper to avoid bubbles (which I was unable to accomplish). The instructions warn about this problem, but I'm not sure what more one could do if one is not a professional installer . I am excessively careful about such things, and I was unable to keep the bottom that wraps around the curve from doing so before I was able to try to get it completely smooth. It looks all right, but as a perfectionist I wish there were no little bubbles at all. All things considered, if I were doing it again I would probably just go with the heavy black plastic kind instead. This is not an indictment of this product itself, just a strong warning that if you get it and aren't accustomed to installing such things, be very, very careful if you want a perfect installation.

Good product and pretty shade of purple! The downside is that its a very soft cover, so the corners slip off every time I put my phone into my purse.

I just received the ShadeMaker 2 and set it up in my back yard. It took me 25 minutes, working solo. I'm fairly experienced with tents and such, and doubt that repetition will cut that time by much. I also doubt that my time was unusually sluggish.

The two main poles are permanently tied together with a hub. It's one integrated assembly. You can't assemble one pole, then the other, and lay them across the fabric separately. I found this design very awkward to work with. Because the poles can't move separately during set-up and take-down, they can be subjected to some major torque. I bent a pole segment taking the canopy down. This is one area where having a person on each corner would have worked much better. It's very difficult to take the canopy down smoothly working alone.

Overall it's a decent canopy. The asymmetric design means there is plenty of room for a 6' tall person to walk under the canopy, but there's still a low side to provide better shade. There's a lot of usable space under the canopy, as the walls are almost vertical. I haven't tried it in wind yet, but it seems like it should be pretty stable, if the guy lines are staked out properly.

Top and bottom rim of lamp looks purple which clashes and take away the beautiful copper and brown colors of the lamp . If not for this it would be a gorgeous but very over priced lamp.

The backs are hard to get on and off, so lots of pinching with nails happens on the ear when removing. The colors aren't as pretty as I had hoped. For the price its a decent deal, and I can wear the stainless no chance for allergic reaction!!! My daughter loved the pink and purple, but the red is not red, its orangey red, not a pretty color and won't match really anything. The champagne isn't great either. Black has no sparkle what-so-ever, which is disappointing. Other than that, they're okay.

I had high hopes for these, but since they have passive cooling (no fan), I also had doubts that they would be very bright.  These are definitely not as bright as Sylvania H1 Basic Halogen bulbs (about $6 each on amazon, $11 each at auto part store), but are close. This set was also very purple, and had a strong purple artifact on one side of the beam when I was within a 5-10 ft of my garage door.  The only reason to consider these is if they last longer than basic halogens, or if you just prefer the more white/blue light, and in my case, kinda purple.  Otherwise, why spend the extra $ on something that's not as bright doesn't fit as well?

I ordered this set with an additional strip to run around the bottom of my loft that I built. As others have said, the adhesive is pathetic; don't bother trying to rely on it to hold up your lights.

All set up and secure otherwise, the lights are very pretty and bright, and the options on the remote are varied and fun.

CON: the cord connecting the lights to the power cord is very fickle...for some reason the connection is not very secure, and when it falls just a tad out of place the white color turns to purple, and thus certain other colors don't work...I have twisted, tied and taped it in so many different ways, but it always moves somehow and changes the color on me. For a while I was adjusting it multiple times a day, but now I seem to have found the sweetspot and I can go up to two days without the wires messing up on me.

Overall, the price was good and I do enjoy the product, despite the drawbacks mentioned.

I received a review sample of this from the vendor. Up front I want to note that this is strictly a solution for creating shade and blocking UV rays. It is by no means waterproof, so if you are seeking that type of solution this product is not going to work.

The shade itself it heavy-duty and has the texture of burlap. It does filter out the sun, but allows light to still come through the fabric. It's made of high-density polyethylene, which is practically indestructible and does not carry the health risks of PVC or BPA based materials. When I opened the bag that contained the shade and hardware there was a faint odor that completely disappeared after I unfolded it and started to do a temporary install. Because it is not waterproof it will not hold standing water the way a tarp will, which is a big plus if you live in an area with mosquitos. Moreover, this will quickly dry after a rain, so it will not rot like many fabrics.

You can install this permanently or temporarily. This kit comes with hardware that will help with a permanent installation: four heavy-duty  eyepads and four medium duty turnbuckles. The latter can be used for temporary installs too because the shade needs to be moderately tensioned to prevent damage from being buffeted by the wind. Since the total area is about two hundred and fifty-six square feet even a slight breeze can cause it to flap about if not sufficiently tensioned, so please take that into account when you are planning an installation.

The shade area itself has heavy reinforcing strips that appear to be both stitched and welded or fused since high-density polyethylene lends itself to both. Personally I cannot imagine them tearing under normal conditions, especially if you properly tension them when they are installed.

While this shade comes with eyepads it does not include fasteners. I am mentioning this because it's not an oversight since the manufacturer cannot anticipate how and to what you will be securing the ends. Indeed, the right fastener for the right situation is a decision only you can make. So you need to factor in how you intend to secure the eyepads, which are drilled to take four fasteners apiece.

One caveat about the turnbuckles: they may be a little difficult to turn when you first use them. I placed a little&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/3-IN-ONE-Multi-Purpose-Oil/dp/B0083V8LPO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">3-IN-ONE Multi-Purpose Oil</a>&nbsp;on the threads and they worked like a charm.

When you are planning the installation - especially a permanent one  - you need to take into account not only the size of the shade, but the added length of the turnbuckles. For example, one of the scenarios on the instruction sheet discusses setting posts to attach the D-rings on the shade itself. The shade is sixteen feet and five inches per side, but the turnbuckles with the screw adjusted eye in the half extended position are nine inches center-to-center. Times two means that you need to set the posts about eighteen feet apart.

Overall, this is a sturdy product that does exactly what it's supposed to do. Installation is relatively easy and the fabric seems as though it will last forever. A friend and I was able to set it up as a temporary shade in less than 45 minutes, which takes the learning curve into account.

I like the colors and the features but the purple part is rubbery and makes it difficult for me to put it in my back pants pocket. So I think it is lame for that reason, but it does its job as far as protecting my phone.

A little hard to cut down, but the shade is great once it's in place

What I was looking forward to was the purple accent that it offers. However, that's not really noticeable. Mostly the multiple hands look black and only show purple at a certain light/angle.

it's not bad, way more purple then i had hoped. And was on the 1.5" side of the scale.

It's decent quality. I will probably upgrade to something nicer when we can afford it. The color is a nice true purple. The material kind of reminds me of those plastic tableclothes they sell for kid's birthday parties, though. Overall not bad. Excellent as a liner; okay as a stand alone curtain.

These curtains are better than I expected, but not as good as the description makes them out to be.  They block out a lot of light, but not all (given the price, that's what I expected).  I specifically chose a color that wouldn't be too painful with the light shining through it.  The burgundy is gorgeous, that's for sure.  I get headaches from the sun streaming through my blinds, but with these curtains in this color, I don't.  I still get enough light to wake me up, but that could be because of the grommets.  When will companies learn that black-out curtains with grommets don't work???  I would recommend installing your curtain rods a little wider than the window frame, because the material doesn't sit against the wall very well.  I may end up thumb-tacking them in place, but I haven't bothered yet.
PROS: beautiful color, great price, convenient length that was hard to buy in stores.
CONS: do not block out all light, have grommets, hard to lie flat against the wall
