I had this for several weeks before my handyman came to install and had not actually opened it to inspect, so imagine my surprise when I saw I was sent the green color instead of the sand I ordered. I decided to keep it as the color is a nice emerald/forest green and not the color on the website. The only problem we had was it is end mounted not from the ceiling. I have an enclosed screened patio, so we had to run an extra bar to mount as the screen columns did not match the length of the shade. It has draw cords on end, so it is super easy to roll up or down. The afternoon sun comes thru the patio and into my living room. This will be great to sun protect my furniture, plus give me some privacy on my patio. All in all it was an excellent purchase. Thanks, O.
