• No extension brackets in the shipment

  We are unable to mount the blinds without the extension brackets. The blinds look nice as far as we can tell.

  Hi Nancy, thank you for your order and for your review. We’re sorry to hear that you’re unable to mount the shades without extension brackets. Because these brackets are an optional hardware item, they are not automatically included with every order. We’d be happy to help find a solution, and a member of our customer service team will be reaching out to you directly to assist you further.

• 8 to 5 Customer Help only

  Shades are good quality. Customer Service not. No instructions were included in the shipments. On-line videos showed different mounting brackets from what was shipped. Discovered that Customer Help LIne was only open during Business Hours. I don't know about others, but I do all of my DIY home improvements during the weekend. Spent about an hour trying to figure out how to mount the shades into the brackets. It was far from intuitive.

• Product feels cheap for the price

  The product build quality seems cheap, especially for the price. Concerned that the button mechanism to raise and lower the blinds will break within the next year. The double-cell material is thin and stretches too much up toward the top when fully lowered so the depth of the shade is largely lost despite it being double-cell. The mounting bracket is over-engineered and that makes it more fiddly and complicated to get the blinds attached properly, and they don't feel especially solid like other less expensive brands I've has in the past. On the plus side, they were cut and built to the correct dimensions so they fit perfectly the first time, and it didn't take long to get them up. They do work as advertised (for now, at least). I expected a more premium build quality and design for something they brand as Deluxe.

  Hi Robert, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear the Deluxe Light Filtering Double Cellular Shades didn’t meet your expectations in build quality and design. We appreciate you noting that they fit correctly and were quick to install. A member of our customer service team will review your feedback and may reach out to discuss your experience further.

• Ease of use

  We are not a fan of the push button area to open and close the blind. We prefer the previous blinds we bought from you years ago that you raise and lower just by pulling the bottom of the blind. This push button is not convent with plants I have hanging in front of the window. Dissapointed with that change but like the quality and price of your blinds

  Hi Jennifer, we're sorry to hear that the SafeLock Cordless Button has not been a good fit for your needs. The shades were redesigned approximately 4–5 years ago, but we understand that the newer design may not offer the same convenience as the style you previously purchased. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and are glad to hear you're happy with the quality and value of the blinds. A member of our customer service team will follow up with you in a separate email to review other options.

  Hello Richard, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you like the look of your Deluxe Light Filtering Double Cellular Shades. We understand that the first time using the push-button release on our SafeLock Cordless lift can feel a bit stiff — this is normal, and it usually eases up with a few uses. If you continue to have trouble or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We’re happy to help! Thank you for choosing Blindster.com!

• Not the size ordered

  I went back through my emails to make certain it was not my mistake. The blinds were to be 32 1/4", not 32". That was very disappointing. I will need the same color, different size for my bedroom. I am curious , if you dont do partial inches, someone should have said something.

  Response from Blindster

  Thank you, Jerralyn, for taking the time to share your experience. We completely understand why this felt disappointing. We do accept partial-inch sizes when placing an order; however, for inside mount installations, the factory automatically deducts from the width so the shades don’t rub or get stuck in the opening. That deduction is likely the difference you’re seeing. We’ll gladly review the exact widths you received to ensure the order was cut correctly. A member of our customer service team has already reached out to you for further assistance.

• Difficult to snap over the tiny sharp points. Probably won't be cat friendly. If I click poor/difficult it includes fair and the in between boxes. Should be at least half the price, only ones I found that I could buy as 3/4" inside top mount due to new windows.

• Good blinds, poor instructions.

  The blinds are very nice, but one had to be operated a few times to work out...?...something. The install instructions were lacking and there were no YouTube videos for these particular blinds, so that was a thing.

• Disappointed

  I was pretty excited when they came and excited to hang them up. You're written instructions were horrendous and really didn't cover much at all. I went online and looked it up and got better instruction there but still was disappointed. I put up blinds before so I wasn't totally in the dark on that. When I did get them up finally they worked great except that there's a rough spot in my cord and I'm afraid it's going to wear out and break. I do use them because it's in my bedroom and I like to shut them at night and open them in the morning.

• Review

  I am quite displeased that your website displayed no substantial view of the blind release mechanism, nor did I see any mention or view of the closed height of the blind. As many of your customers are coming from the shorter corded versions that would be useful. Visually they are nowhere near as nice as the blinds they replaced. They block about 2 inches of the window, top or bottom.
