• Solar Shades

  I ordered ash, it's nice color. However, surprised that the back is white, not ash. I'm confused - is white for the back the norm for sonar shades?

  Response from Blindster

  Hi James, yes, we state in the product specifications that the back of the shade is white. White is the color of the material used to make the shade blackout.

• Good product

  One of the blinds came set up for the chain to be on the other side than I ordered, and one of the brackets came without all the screw holes it was supposed to have, but they were just the right size and they don't stink like my old vinyl blinds did, so I am happy with the purchase on the whole.

  Response from Blindster

  Thanks for letting us know Jesse! We want to make sure you're completely satisfied and your shades are just how you want them. I'll contact you soon to see what we can do about the chain and brackets. Thanks for being a great Blindster customer!

• Bedroom Shade

  The shaded is good. The chain hold down tension device is cumbersome.

  Response from Blindster

  I apologize for the hold down, Robert. Glad to hear the shade is working well, however. Thanks for being a great Blindster customer!

• Good Product But Needs a Couple Minor Changes

  We are pleased with the two blackout shades purchased from Blindster, but a couple of things were not so liked. First there was no instructional sheet. Yes, a roller shade is very simple, but a "simple" instructional diagram and minimal instructions should be provided. For example, the end connections received have a locking function that hold the roller in place. The design works fine on the left side with angled receiver slot slanted up, but when attached to the right side in our particular "inside frame top mount" the locking device is not accessible in one direction or, if positioned with angled slot down in the other direction, it is subject to roller dropping if the locking function were to fail. A right and left designed bracket design should be provided.

  Response from Blindster

  Thank you for the feedback David, we're glad you're happy with the shades but we completely see where you're coming from. Thank you for letting us know and thank you for shopping with Blindster!

• Blackout shades

  Nice quality shades, much better than what is available at big box stores for not much more money. Spend a little extra and get a product that will last a long time.

  Response from Blindster

  Thanks for the compliments Paul! We're so happy that we can serve you. Thanks for choosing Blindster!

• Blindster shades

  I ordered two shades. One fit perfectly and rolls up and down great, the other was remade for free. I just had to pay shipping. The remake was still too wide so I filed the flat end to make it fit the window. This blind does not roll up and down very well at all. It seems very loose as if the spring isn't tight. I'm not happy with it.

• Deluxe Blackout Fabric Roller Shades

  I'm sleeping a lot better after replacing my metal mini-blinds with these blackout roller shades. The shades do a great job of blocking light so long as they're mounted outside the window frame. My shades are coffee colored, and I chose a standard mount with a metal continuous loop lift. They look terrific and they're easy to lift and lower. I found out the hard way that if you're trying to make a room dark, you shouldn't mount these shades inside the window frame. It's amazing how much light can come in from a 1 inch gap all around the edges! I had to reorder the shades in a larger size so that they could be mounted outside the frame. Blindster refunded all but 10% of the cost of the original shades, which I thought was fair. I had to find an organization that would take the original shades as a donation in order to get the refund, and I found that most charities don't take roller shades (including Goodwill). Habitat for Humanity took them though. My husband had some trouble installing the shades because the hardware that was included for mounting the brackets into drywall was totally inadequate. The original hardware would have been easy to pull right out of the wall, so we replaced it with something that was more heavy duty. Unfortunately we didn't realize that there was a problem until we tried installing with the original hardware, resulting in extra holes in the drywall. I would have rated the quality of the shades "excellent" except for that problem.
