FYI - I contacted Mado about getting a blind to test when they
are ready ship.? I haven't gotten any response to my email?

Thanks.? The shades look well designed. The only
challenge is that they are being sold through Kickstarter and
won¡¯t ship until September.? Given this is a Kickstarter
campaign you¡¯re never quite sure if that will be September 2025
or 2026?
The other challenge is that the manufacturer is in
reality paying Kickstarter for their marketing efforts. My
experience with companies in this situation is that they don¡¯t
feel that there is much value working with the press because
Kickstarter is doing the work. That may change when the hoopla
of the Kickstarter campaign dies down.?
But I'll give it a try
Thanks again?
Sorry, yes 48". I have couple of 60" windows and have
been monitoring IKEA for a while as I like to touch and
feel a product before I buy, and most of the custom cut
solutions aren't easy to return.?

Somewhat on topic, a new company/product has popped up
that I think it's unique in two ways:
- cut at home motorized cellular shade, AND more
importantly, solar panel integrated into the bottom part
of the shade. I think this part is genius, as it will
allow for better solar charging when shade is [almost]
fully retracted without exposing solar panel, charging
cables etc.?

Try to get your hand on one for testing:
