• Does not roll up flat!

  I have had bamboo roman shades in the past. This brand does not gather up flat when you raise the shade. love the color and quality. Just annoying the it makes a dome affect at the very top when raised completely to the top.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you aren't completely happy with your shades. The stack of a bamboo shade will definitely vary based on the thickness of the fabric. I will call you to see if you would like to do something under our Satisfaction Guarantee.

• The blinds were well made and attractive....

  The only problem was that we could not install them inside the window and I requested they be remade for an outside mount. When I spoke with the consultant, I asked if the wood header would be covered with the bamboo on the side so that the wood header would not show from the side. She assured me would. It was not. The shade is installed, and from the side where the wood shows, looks unattractive. Is there some way to send me a small piece of bamboo that I could glue or staple to conceal this exposed wood?

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you didn't get all of the parts for your shades. It does come with returns (side pieces that cover the exposed wood). I will get them sent out to you right away.

• Didn't quite match the (three) samples I ordered . . .

  The blind I ordered is much greener, and less tortise, than any of the samples I received. This has given me pause about whether to continue with other purchases as I have a whole house of blinds to buy. Blindster has great prices and the bamboo shade is of great quality but the samples aren't representative. Glad I only bought one blind, but now what to do??

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you are not happy with your bamboo shades. Because the bamboo shades are made from all natural materials in the natural state the colors can vary slightly. I will contact you directly to determine if the blinds were made correctly. The factory will remake your blinds at no charge if they were not made according to specifications. You also have the option of returning the blinds under our Satisfaction Guarantee for a full refund of the cost of the blinds.

• not exact but as ordered

  Unless I missed something in the details, the blind was made too short in width. I ordered an exact 27' and a half width and received a 27". The half inch would have made it perfect. If the company was making some kind of adjustment, they would have let me know and I would have ordered a 28". I kept the blinds anyway... it was just for a bathroom.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry your blinds didn't come as expected. We recommend that you use the window opening width (smallest of the width measurements at the top, middle & bottom of the window) when ordering inside mount blinds. All factories that make window coverings for us (and all factories that I am aware of in the United States) take a width deduction when making blinds/shades to be mounted inside the window. For horizontal blinds the normal deduction is 1/2 inch. I will contact you directly to see if you want to get a new blind under our Fit or Free Policy. Thank you for your understanding.

• 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.

• Happy Shopper

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

• They fit perfectly.

  The color seemed lighter than pictured, probably a good idea to order the free sample if you were using these all over your home. But it was for the room I did.

• Tangled mess

  Bought two bamboo shades. Easy enough to install but the cords on one blind was a tangled mess. Must of spent 30 minutes untangling and trying to re-tie the cord. Don't sign for email, you will be bombarded.

• Haven't gotten last order.

  It was a replacement that never got here. I don't remember getting confirmation either

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you haven't gotten your new shade. We are checking the status now and will get it shipped to you as soon as possible. I apologize for the oversight.

• Design flaws - bamboo shades.

  These blinds were installed inside mount on windows with 2 x 4 stud wall. The ends stick out past the window frame and the ends are unfinished. I knew they would stick out a ways but all other blinds I have purchased had finished ends. The mounting head rail is made of wood and the wood ends are unsightly. Pulleys used to hold up blinds are completely exposed when looking at the blinds from outside and are unsightly. This could be remedied by having a 4" valance behind the blind. I also had the top down bottom up option. When you have the blinds with the tops down, there is a screw in loop screw which is exposed and again really cheap looking. They could have drilled a hole through the bind top and have a knot under the blind top eliminating a cheap looking screw. The blind fabric looks good. I bought cheap; and it is obvious where they cut costs. I will probably not buy from Blindster again. I have criticize your product but also offered inexpensive solutions.

• Good value, so-so quality

  We ordered these blinds and they took approximately 3 weeks to arrive. They were kind of a pain to hang but not too bad. They look good and block lots of light. In the 2 weeks we have been using them, already a couple of the bamboo pieces have broken and some of the glue has come unstuck. Also, you can see the blackout fabric in the middle and it was not cut evenly, so it looks a little funny. Overall, these were 1/3 of the cost of blinds at Home Depot or Lowes, so we can't complain.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you were not happy with your shades. I will contact you directly to make arrangements to get you shades that are made properly.
