A：①Roller Shades: The shade and hardware are all high quality, the installation instructions were quite clear, and so far the solar charger is working great.
②Zebra blinds: The installation is pretty straight-forward, and love the mounting brackets that come with this kit!
③Shangrila shades: These mount via spring loaded clips, so once you mount the clips with the included screws, you're done. The spring loaded clips make them super easy to take down if you ever need to.
