• They are lighter weight than

  They are lighter weight than the ones I got for my slider at JCPenny for about the same price.

• I ordered six new blinds

  I ordered six new blinds for my house. Three were the same width, two others were the same width and one of a different width. But all were the same length, 35 1/4 inches. and all were inside mount. The packing slip, invoice and each label are marked 35 1/4. However all blinds are 37 1/2 which makes several slats stack up on the sill and makes the open and closer gizmo not work very well.

  Hi James, I am sorry to hear that you did not realize that the blinds heights were going to come longer than requested. This is something we advise of in our measuring instructions online that we ask that you check the box that you understand prior to purchasing. ~~~~ "STEP 2: The factory will add a minimum of 2 1/2" to the height you order. This additional height is needed to that the blind will tilt properly." I'm sorry if there was any confusion about this but we will have an agent reach out to you about this. Thank you for your time and business.

• Overpriced

  I was hoping these blinds would be more sturdy than the ones you can buy at Home Depot. No such luck! At least they're all the same translucence .

• Since you ask

  This was my experience which is one out of many. I was a Quality Manager for many years and can be anal-retentive. Got my embossed Vertical blinds for our house in 2 boxes. One of the boxes was very heavy. My wife would not have been able to move it. The FedEx guy struggles just as I did. The rails or tracks for my vertical blinds was fine but I felt the cord and beaded control lines had a cheap plastic guild which screwed into the wall. Not sure how that will hold up over time. Also not sure if I should have it pulled down so the lines are loose or tight fitting as friction my cut into the plastic. Instructions say move smoothly so I guess thats loose? On some windows it seems that the coverage area where the PVC slates hang to cover the window were short of full coverage. On some of my windows there was 3/4 of an inch which allows light in. All of my PVC slates required trimming from a 1/4 to 1/2 " to get the proper length. I was a little surprised by this but cutting them was not to difficult, just time consuming. The Valence is designed so that you need to screw it into the window frame under the clip which then holds it in place. The is fine except that the Valence length then fits inside the window opening for inside mounts. Small clips are then added to both ends of the Valence. This created some frustration for me as the valence was right on the edge of the window opening and sometimes inside the opening. Seems that a better design would be called for here but that would require the manufacture additional work to make a better fit. As they get paid for their work the cost would be higher. I though about returning my order but didn't discover some of the issues until half the work was already done. So I made do. I doubt the rest of the industry is any different from what I can see. Blindster appears to be use someone else to make their stuff if you have any issues shipping time are increased as orders need to be place. All and all I thing my experience would be the same with whoever I used so shop for price. Quality is equal across them all I would guess.

• Good Blinds

  This was the cheapest option for our oversized window that looks out into the patio...good product quality and looks good as well. Great value for the blinds but the shipping cost is very high which makes it just an ok deal.

• you get what you pay for

  quality not quite up to other name brand blinds

• Not the quality I expected

  I wish we would have spend a bit more money on this blind, they seem a bit cheap to me. My husband measured wrong, and we need to trim them as they fall off when opening and closing. I was expecting more, as all the other blinds were so great.

• Sorry, a bit disappointed

  The blinds are nice enough, but we don't much care for the chain & pull cord deal. They were touchy to attach to the frame and have to line up straight, so they are hard to hide from view. I would rather not have that device, even if I had to pay more - then I would like them just fine. I guess you get what you pay for!

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you are disappointed with your blinds. There is another mechanism that will operate the vertical blinds. You can choose a wand control. This control is a manual system. To open the shades you grab the wand and pull the blinds open. To tilt the vanes open you twist the wand. All of our verticals are available with either the cord/chain system or the wand system for the same price. I will contact you directly to see what we can do to get you this other option.

• Ok for the Price

  I installed two sets in my rental unit. The head rail was much lighter than the what I installed in my home. Also the vanes are a very thin gauge vinyl.

  The blinds are very well made. The instructions are useless. When installing them with a valence, it becomes beyond difficult because you are essentially blind drilling into your already measured window frame. The valence should connect with clips or something. I can't remove it without taking down the blind clips. I find that the vertical slats fall out sometimes when I open and close the blinds. Overall pretty decent for the price. They are definitely well made. The valence issue is the only bad thing.
