GoDear Design Adjustable Vertical Blinds for Sliding Doors, Extendable Track from 45.8" to 86" W, Trimmable Panel Curtains Up to 96", Semi-Sheer Panels with Shimmering Sequins, Diamond Silver

I love love love these blinds. Perfect to cover glass sliding doors.Goodbye to the vertical blinds that have slats that fall. These let light through but give privacy. They look good. They are lightweight but strong. Gotta know how to use a drill to put the track on. Overall it took less than an hour to unbox and hang.

We bought a house where the master had no closet door and discovered it was probably because it’s an odd size. After searching online I discovered the only other door option was custom doors, and didn’t want to spend the money on that. These were a much less expensive option, and work well. They weren’t too hard to install, although my brother who installed it for me found that the middle portion of the instructions was very vague, and had to look up video instructions to see which direction to screw in the mounting pieces.I’m very happy with the material for these. It looks and feels nice, and it was really easy to cut each panel the exact same length. We hung one panel, marked where we wanted to cut it, then trimmed it and hung it back up to make sure the length was correct. Then I just laid the panels across a table with the cut one on top, and trimmed each of them to the same length. Because the material is lined it was easy to cut in a straight line, and the material cut very smoothly.I’m not a fan of the look of the top of the panels where they are mounted, but plan to create some sort of valance from the leftover material like I’ve seen other customers do.

I considered so many options for a closet door in my newly remodeled bedroom (sliding barn door, drapes, etc.) and I am so happy I stumbled upon this on Amazon. For the price, you cannot go wrong. I was a little concerned that the material might be too thin but it is very good quality and it seems they have a lot of good color options. I chose Marble (which is basically white and a charcoal gray) and it blends well with my color scheme. I did add a small seafoam green lace trim to the front of the bracket that is visible above the blinds (which I added in the second picture), but honestly the visible track didn't bother me that much since it was gray and matched with the rest of the gray in the room. If the visible track bothers you, there are creative ways to cover it. I feel that the instructions were relatively clear and my husband installed the track in about 15 minutes. Cutting, finishing and hanging the panels does take a bit of time but it wasn't overwhelming. Just remember not to cut too short, because unlike a bad haircut, the panels will not grow back. I had to re-cut a couple panels as they were touching the floor and that does add time to the process. But I would recommend this to anyone as the end result is classy, clean and modern and definitely looks more expensive than it is. Planning to switch out a couple more closet doors in my bedrooms and it should be a breeze now that I know exactly what I'm doing :). I'm certain you will love the end result if you purchase this. And yes, it did help to have a handyman in my house to install the track for me - but once you get that up, the rest is pretty easy. Love it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very nice but I didn’t realize the track is exposed and looks a little cheap when open. Other types have a valance that covers the track, just something to note before purchasing. Very high quality and looks great other than that. Would recommend and would purchase again. Relatively easy to put together. But husband hung the track and I trimmed and installed the panels. Color:Love the pecan color

These blinds went into my mobile home, an old '73 model which I am rehabbing, and my sliding glass doors needed an upgrade from some ugly curtains that were there previously. I considered vertical blinds but then happened upon these, which I think turned out great.I built a custom valance for it with building materials that cost all of $20 and added some metal protection plates in the upper left corners of the blind panels that I bought here on Amazon for $7 (Art3d 4-Pieces Peel and Stick Stainless Steel Backsplash Tiles). I'd seen from other GoDear Sliding Panel reviews how the delicate panels could get damaged by the panel pull rod and figured I'd protect them all. The backsplash tiles were pretty easy to cut with a utility knife (scoring several times on both sides and then snapping) and they are backed with a sheet of heavy-duty adhesive (I think they'll stick forever on the woven fabric panels which are mostly made of paper and polyester). But if you want to do the same as I did, beware, because the pull rod needs to be adjusted so it sticks out more away from the panel. You might do different protection plates made of plastic or thinner metal panels that would work without adjustments.The sliding track that came with my original shipment was damaged and I had to write the company to replace it; they replaced it immediately (for free) and that was a huge relief. The panels are indeed woven paper/polyester and I'm not sure they'll last as long vinyl vertical blinds, but they've been up for three months now and still look like new. They certainly won't take a beating like vinyl blinds can, but vertical blinds have their own maintenance issues. To be honest, I think I would go with these sliding panels even if they broke down, since I love the way they look. You can buy replacement sliding panels, but a pair cost $60 and to replace all four you might as well buy the whole kit and get the sliding track as well (which is beautifully built and has other DIY applications for the creative handyman type).I would have given this four stars, given the broken sliding track and how I question the durability of the panels (and how I felt I had to take a step further to protect them), but GoDear was very responsive with the track replacement and only time will tell how really durable the panels are. Given that I love the overall appearance and have pretty much written off ever doing conventional vertical blinds again, I must give GoDear the full five stars. I think GoDear should make the plastic parts on the sliding track out of metal (the plastic is what broke) and that would solve the track issues. This is really an affordable and brilliantly designed alternative to boring old vertical blinds.
