Easy too fit!
Good instructions and easy to fit! Looks so much better than the 20 year old blind we replaced!

Perfect fit, all required tools supplied
I wasn't sure whether I'd go for the OEM blinds at pretty hefty additional cost, but I thought I'd play safe since this is very visible in the room...Upon opening the packaging it looks very good quality, with the runners matching exactly with the existing window and other blinds which were fitted on other windows.READ THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING OR PULLING ANYTHIN APART!!!- real important or you could pull apart things which will make installation much much more difficult!!The instructions have no words but fairly easy to follow basically:-- Pushing in top blind section until it clicks on mounts which should already be present on the velux. (If they're not present, there's a bag with a ? on it which provides two substitute clips. I didn't realise this at first and was scratching my head what to do with these at the end!) I had to give it a bit of a gentle bang to get it to clip into place. DONT take off the red bits yet!- Using the provided buttom clips, screw those into place using provided torx screws and torx screwdriver. (Note not to use the clips I mentioned above which are bigger and use the 2-3 philips screws in a bag)- Take the side metal runners and slide them in each side. Before sure they're slide firmly into place at the top before you clip them at the bottom. Hint if you get it wrong, unscrew the torx screw on the bottom clips rather than trying to force the thing out of the clip and potentially breaking the clip.- Once in place, screw the torx screws into the holes along the runners on each side. The torx screw driver should be adequate to screw into the velux wood without need to drill holes.- Pull off the red circles to unroll the cords and then pull out the grey plastic cordends and pull them down to the bottom clips. You'll need to gently stretch them for a moment at you get them to clip into place.- Now at the top take off the red retaining clips at the top and you should be able to pull the blind down- done!Installation took me about 20-30 minutes with careful reading of the instructions. Once done I'm very happy with the results.At £73 vs around £40 for a non-OEM one it's a hefty difference in price. However seeing the quality of this product, and the finish the materials, it's a premium I'm happy to pay for.I'll see over time and update in due course as I use these...

quality not very good
Overall is ok and easy to install. But for the money I paid, I expected better quality. The product I received has an uneven bottom.

Exactly what I was looking for!
Great product from Velux - had struggled to find the correct size for a replacement blind for our window which the original is from the late 80’s but found clear and concise details of the exact blind to order - this was to be taken to France so couldn’t afford to get it wrong !Thankfully fitted like a glove - although had to get a professional to fit it as fiddly - a great nights sleep followed . Thank you .

Very good
More expensive than the imitations, but well worth it. Very easy to fit, instructions spot on. Smooth and efficient to use. Good.
