• Nothing Special

  For the price the value is limited. They keep out the light, however, light still shows around all the side and bottom edges ...There should be some sort of strips to put on the sides to completely close off the light. Mounting was straightforward. Operation with the bottom button works, but feels cheap and hope they last. The delivery time was exceptionally long, several weeks. For the high prices they better not fail and last a long time...

  Response from Blindster

  Hi Kevin! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry that you're disappointed with the amount of light coming through around the edges and understand that you were hoping for a more complete blackout experience. Unfortunately, we don't offer additional light-blocking strips for our shades. One alternative would be to change to an outside mount, which can help minimize light seepage. If you'd be interested, this is something we can explore through our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. Regarding the production and delivery time, the blackout shades you ordered may take approximately 5–7 business days to produce, with shipping taking approximately the same amount of time. We're sorry if the overall wait felt longer than expected. We understand your concerns about durability, but we're confident your shades will provide lasting enjoyment. Please know that we're always here to help should any issues arise. We're always happy to assist!

• No beep.

  The product was all there but the instructions said when teaching it it would flash twice the. Beep twice and it never beeped. So it was very confusing trying to set it up.

• Motorized blind

  Overall no complains about the product: easy installation, measured as specified on the command. The only issue is that the remote is coming with outdated documentation. The steps for remote configuration does not match what is actually needed. This need to be fixed.

• No Room For Continuous Cord Mount Even Though it is Within Specs

  The shades are wonderful. I got 3 same size blackout accordion shades with an inside mount. Each of our windows has a 3" depth. Unfortunately the continuous cord mound doesn't really have room to be mounted between the shade and the woodwork, which I assume is the proper location. See pictures for the less than satisfactory solution we had to use. I cannot see how your 3/4" minimum depth requirement for inside mount would even work, and we have 3". I'd appreciate your thoughts on this issue.

• Feels cheaply made

  It's flimsy and the lock doesn't always work well so when you pull it it sometimes falls out of the brackets. But the blackout material is effective

• Motorized, motor shifted out of

  Motorized, motor shifted out of shaft for the opposite side from the motor. Moved so far the wired unplugged from the motor. Had to put the shade up then take down to adjust the shade for level operation. Once figured out the adjustments, tightened motor, charged unit and now operates correctly. They're fantastic and there is NO light coming in. Work as advertised, packaging could have been better...

• Not sure if it's a

  Not sure if it's a construction issue or a shipping issue, but the top piece of our top-down / bottom-up blind is all wrinkled and twisted looking. Other than this esthetic issue, everything else is fine. The Blackout is excellent and the controls are easy to use.

• Works fine, just a little

  Works fine, just a little cheaper quality than I thought it would be.

• Pretty Good

  Easy to install and work as designed. The upper right side (most visable portion given where my entry to this room is) was glued to the rail poorly. The glue yellowed the white shade and it's crumpled up for the last 5 or so inches in that corner.

  Response from Blindster

• misinformed for accurate measurement

  I was led to measure 2 1/2" above the window frame when in our application it should have been no more than the thickness of the top of the blind mechanism, plus the wall brackets were not out far enough to clear the window trim. In all your order taker did't understand the application or didn't listen carefully enough to understand what the application needed. Therefore, we had to have you send the extension brackets. Now we are waiting for the hold downs because the blind is too long to rest on the window sill. Other wise the blinds are of great quality, and I won't pay 15.00 to return for resizing.
