• Pleated Curtains

  The shades arrived on schedule, were made from quality fabric, and we're easy to install. The roman shades were for two windows that are cornered. The folds do not match from shade to shade and have completely ruined the look in a master bathroom that was completely renovated. Very disappointing to say the least.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you were not happy with your shades. The reason the folds do not match is because you ordered one shade with the cordless lift system and one shade with a standard lift cord. To make sure that shades match, you have to make with the exact same length and options. After our telephone discussion I have ordered a new shade for you. You can return the original shade under our Satisfaction Guarantee for a full refund. Thank you for your understanding.

• Good But Wrinkled

  The material has wrinkles which appear to be permanent. Any tips for smoothing the shades?

• Nice blind; poor chord function

  We installed these blinds inside the window frame, and because of the size, we had to order the chord pull. There are two problems with this: 1) They design it with the chord pull on the backside of the blind. It looks cleaner because you don't see the chord. But when we have to lift the blind, we have to first pull out the blind to get to the chord, which can be a pain if you have books and stuff on the window ledge or something in front of the window like a bed frame. 2) Then, when we pull it up, you're supposed to trigger the tension to hold it in place by pulling the chord to the right, but this is mounted right up against our window so we could maximize use of the ledge for books and stuff, and the deep frame makes it impossible to pull the chord to the right to trigger the tension hold because the chord is on the right, so the wall of the window frame prevents us from being able to do so easily. Other than those two things, it's a nice blind.

• Disappointed

  The side flaps don't cover,the material was wrinkled and not the quality I was expecting. Wish I had been guided on the size to get for a French Door it ended up being too narrow and doesn't look right :(

• Happy with the look

  I really love the way the shades look, however, the quality is not the best. They literally staple the fabric onto a piece of wood and you have to drill the holes of where the brackets will go - when you do this, it tears the fabric, but it's in a place that no one will see so it's fine. I guess the saying is true that you get what you pay for lol!

• Nice looking roman shade

  I got four shades in two different sizes but all in the same color. I first ordered 10 sample swatches which was a great help when it came to deciding on color. My only complaint is the screws that come with the installation kit. They are the worst screws I have ever dealt with. Neither my power driver nor a handheld screwdriver was able to set in the screw head properly, which made installation longer, sweatier and more frustrating. The groove is just too shallow to hold the driver bit, and you can't get a hold of it to go more than a couple of revolutions at a time. If I had had my wits about me, I would have dropped everything and gone to the hardware store to replace them. Well, I finally did on the last shade. My advice: if they don't screw in easily, go get different screws! Otherwise, my windows look fantastic now.

• not so sure

  we got what we ordered. but If I had it to do over, I am not so sure I would select this type of window covering.

• looks OK.

  Not a bad looking shade, though I think it's over priced. The quality is good, but the appearance isn't as expected.

• do not have yet

  It is difficult to review the order number you referred to, as I have not received it yet. You said Uma sand was back ordered until July 24th. Is that still correct?

• Like the shade

  Looks good and is a good quality. Screws to hang had a very shallow head and very hard to screw in. Also, had to go to a larger bit head. The size recommended made hanging even harder. They do look nice and would buy again.

• Quality blinds but expensve

  I read the websites measuring instructions and am an extremely qualified handyman. I measured for exact fit minus their recommended buffer. Received the blinds and was impressed with the build and style. However, the blinds should have been 3/8 of an inch wider. If I had not subtracted their buffer, they would have fit perfectly. Not cheap either, even with their PROMO code.
