  Deluxe Blackout Single Cellular Shades

  thoughts on cellular blinds

  I compare this with similar blinds from Springs Window Fashions. About the same, except Springs fit closer to the top of the frame for my blinds installed inside the frame. Leaving less gap then the Blindster blinds. Would be nice if Blindster provided, at extra cost of course, some sort of Valance to hide any gap between the upper inside Window frame and the top of the cellular blind. Also be nice to supply the inserts needed to screw into drywall. Pain to have to go out and buy them when you are ready to install. But now I know if I purchase more blinds from Blindster. I like to install these blinds close to the front of the window opening so as to provide a deeper air mass for insulation in this cold area where i live. The instructions only showed installing the brackets at the back of the frame, for inside the frame installation. All in all though, I am happy with the purchase. Would I buy again? Probably. Once I figure out how to make a valance to cover the gap mentioned.

  Deluxe Bamboo Woven Wood Shades

  Just What We Needed

  We have a corner next to the TV viewing area that needs a good looking shade, with almost complete darkening..this combination worked for us: Bamboo shades with darkening. They are beautiful and glad we added the edge seal for longevity (no open ended bamboo to rub on the opening). My only complaint is that the center hole drilled for mounting was too close to the center pulley and I had to move (re drill) the hole to allow the wingnut to fully rotate.

  Cordless Light Filtering Single Cellular Shades

  Economy Model Cordless Shades

  The shades arrived quickly and were easy to install. They fit fine. They are cordless and everything works but the retractor springs are a bit weak compared to other cordless shades I have. Customer service was good for a missing handle and the overall price was good.

  2 Inch Premium Cordless Faux Wood Blinds

  Not up to snuff.

  The pull cord that is used to raise the blinds came apart at the connector which transitions from the two cords that actually raise the blind down to one cord that you pull on. The knot on one of the two cords inside the connector let loose. Also, with just two cords actually raising the blind, the middle of the blind will eventually sag lower than the two ends where the cords are attached. We had also purchased an identically sized (and slightly less expensive) blind in a different color from another Internet blind company. That design uses four cords to raise the blind, so the middle will not sag over time. And the transition from four cords down to the ones you actually pull on was implemented using a much more secure and stronger method. Our remaining blinds were purchased from the competitor.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you aren't happy with your blinds. You can return them for a refund of the cost of the blinds under our Satisfaction Guarantee. The number of lift cords used on a blind varies based on the size. The number of ladders used on the blind also varies by size but there are usually more ladders than lift cords. The ladders are what provides the support that keeps the blinds from sagging, not the lift cords. Your blind should have been made with 4 ladders and 2 lift cords. The cord joiner is designed to separate when there is stress placed on it. This is a child safety feature that is required by Federal Regulations. I will contact you directly to give you instructions for returning the blinds.

  Deluxe Blackout Double Cellular Shades

  Great Look,ToughI nstallation

  I installed a pair of these shades today using an inside mount. The kit comes with hex-head screws, which stick out beyond the bracket. Using my own flush screws made installation vastly easier (Blindster: take note). I tried again and again to get the blinds to hang, but my efforts failed until I substituted flush screws on the back hole. It turns out that the non-flush hex screw heads were keeping the shade from properly locking into place on the non-spring hook. After making the change to a flush screw on the back, hanging took only one attempt.

  2 Inch Deluxe Cordless Faux Wood Blinds

  I would buy again.

  Product looks nice. I feel the quality control at the factory may be lacking. The head rail section of my blinds were bent just slightly at the corners w/sharp edges, scratched my paint and me. I did an inside install and the brackets dig into the top of the window casing when you open the bracket to install the blind...and yet there is still a gap where light shows through above the valance, even thought I mounted the blinds as close to the top of the window opening as possible. One set of brackets were actually bent so much that they would not open and close and required some bending with pliers which of course scratched off the paint, however that doesn't show behind the valance. The blinds did arrive in a timely manner and the measurements are perfect. I have one that pops-sticks when I open and close it so I suspect the mechanics were not popped down tightly into their position, but it's so difficult to take off the valance and get to this one window that I have not fixed.

  Happy Shopper

  Love the quality and construction. Only frustration was that there were no brackets included, had to wait for separate shipment.

  2 Inch Premium Cordless Faux Wood Blinds

  problems with remake

  One of the blinds was too big by about an eight of an inch so I ordered another bind under your remake policy. I have yet (about ten days) to hear from you.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry for the delay in getting you your new blind. I have checked with the factory and your new blind will ship tomorrow. I apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience.
