• Faulty chain connector

  We’ve bought these blinds before and loved them. This was a replacement one. However, with this particular one it is extremely difficult to open or close the shade. It is stuck at about 20 inches open! It feels like the chain is going to bust or the entire shade will fall off if I pull any harder!

• fabric?

  I didn't expect linen, but seems pretty plastic-like. On the other hand, easy to wipe off.

  Hello Lora, Thank you for sharing your feedback. This product does feature a white acrylic backing designed to help block light passage, which can give the material a more vinyl or plastic-like feel compared to a traditional linen fabric. We’re glad to hear the easy-to-clean surface has been a positive feature for you. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Blindster!

  Decent light coverage but not what I would call blackout. Shade don't roll up easily, but we may need to adjust.

  Quality wasn't nearly as good as I had hoped for. Good price though.

  Even though I followed the instructions For custom fit, it still lets light in on the sides. The color of the shade is nice and the fabric is a good quality.

  Hello Cheyenne, thank you for your feedback on your order. On roller shades, the fabric will always be made approximately 1 1/2" narrower than the width ordered. Depending on your window, this may cause light gaps on the sides. If you'd like to look into an outside mount installation, please feel free to reach out to us and we'd be happy to go over your options and get you taken care of! Thank you for choosing Blindster.com!

• roller blind

  The blind is ok. It looks like a basic roller blind that you could buy at any box store. It works fine. Just don't expect a high end blind

• Roll orientation issue

  The shades themselves are good quality. The fabric makes it look a little classy. But my main issue was with the white plastic backing and the roll orientation. The website did not fully advertise or indicate that if you order "standard roll" you will see the white back part when rolled up. In order to avoid this, you need to order reverse roll so only the fabric shows. I felt the website was not clear on this and should add a note or live pictures where you choose roll orientation. Disappointed because I had to get them redone and paying shipping again.

• Product is awesome! The product

  Product is awesome! The product we received were different than the measurements we submitted, therefore the blinds did not fit. The third product fit and was easy to install but was not the correct specification we ordered. Sadly all three will have to be returned. I hope not to have an issue next time.

• Nice blackout roller shade

  Fabric nice and blackout excellent, however inside mount leaves too much space between window side edges and the shade side edges. Doesn't have a valance so is not attractive at the top. I will need to make a fabric valance to improve. Manufacturing time was over stated time and didn't received them until 3 or 4 days after the combined advertised manufacturing and delivery time. Once left manufacturing, they were delivered in timely manner, so it was not delivery that took long.

• Shades

  The shade appears to have been built will. It's a quality shade. The mechanical of the shade is not very good. Cheap plastic that most likely will not last. Overall installation was not quick or easy. Plastic cord and internal works don't appear to be very good. Time will tell.
