If you’ve checked reviews online, especially from international markets like Amazon, you’ll notice quite a few frustrated customers. Despite their initial convenience, these blinds can have some pretty annoying drawbacks:

• They often don’t stick well long-term. The adhesive or tension methods these blinds use are great at first—but when they face South Africa’s strong sunlight and heat, they can weaken, causing blinds to fall down randomly.
• They damage your paint or wall surface. Ironically, even though they’re promoted as wall-friendly, many users complain about paint peeling or residue when removing them.
• Lots of returns and disappointed customers. People buy them for convenience, but after repeated issues, many end up returning them—making the supposed simplicity more hassle than it’s worth.

So, if you’re thinking of buying no-drill blinds, you might want to pause and consider whether the convenience outweighs these headaches.
