• Not my first choice

  My first choice fabric was backordered multiple times and I felt compelled to make a second choice. The blinds arrived and do not coordinate with the drapes at all. I’m not satisfied.

• Eh ok

  The edges let too much light in not truly blackout. I asked about balance as well and they don't have one. Just not great at being blackout Cause the sides

  Response from Blindster

  Hello Tyler, I have just sent you an email so that we can look into this issue for you and get you taken care of. We want to make sure you are satisfied. With an inside mount, there is always the possibility of some light seepage, due the to automatic inside mount deduction that is taken, in order to ensure that the fabric does not rub against the side of the window opening. We appreciate the feedback and I apologize for the inconvenience.

• Roman shades

  The location of the pull cord is poorly placed. It is located behind the shade and is difficult reach when putting shade up or down. A real pain in the rear!

• Wrong color

  I ordered their sample colors to ensure that we find the color that will look best. We found the color we liked. We placed the order and when we received the blinds they were the wrong color. This was the second order I have placed with Blindster and this is the second time the jacked up my order. I really would have appreciated the right color so did not dump $1000 down the drain.

  Response from Blindster

• Not Totally Satisfied

  The drapes didn't hang like I thought they should or even how they are displayed on your site.

• Low quality

  Fabric looks good. String is cheap and broke during installation. Pleats were not straight. Blindster remade them (only because I bought the insurance) and they are minimally better. I would not buy these again.

• Premium Roman shades

  Poorly made, the holes for mounting were not aligned properly (in position that you can't get to). And the chains were made of plastic instead of metal. Very disappointing. Not what I was led to believe! Specially I had paid an upgrade price for it! Just cheap plastic chains. Overall the Roman shades are great disappointment.

• Mediocre quality

  When the blinds are in the up position, it's almost impossible to get them to hang straight. When you pull the drawstring to raise them, once it reaches the top, the right side (the drawstring side) drops about 1/2 inch. In order for them to hang straight I have to pull each of the 3 strings individually, and stop it with the right side about 1/2 inch higher than the left. Then when the string is released it drops to somewhat even. The screws in the two boxes were completely different, even though the 2 blinds were identical. One set had 2 long and 4 short screws, the other had 3 long screws.

• Get faux blinds instead.

  They look nice, but that's it. The cord is inconveniently in the back... I love to open my blinds everyday so light can come through the house and don't like how cord is hidden. I wish I would have gotten some faux blinds, I had those before from this site and they were excellent and not to mention 1/2 the price. But if you do not like to open your blinds and leave them alone then they are perfect for you. :)

• Quite Disappointed!

  Received Wed. and scheduled paid installer for today. Fabric would have been nice if it weren't so wrinkled out of the box, particularly on left side of both shades. Hope hanging smooths them out. Fit is perfect and install was very simple for pro. Bought top down/bottom up option. String in middle of shade looks hideous and ruins the look of the shade. Not mentioned at all in the description which I find deceiving. Looking over pictures super carefully now it is barely detectable. Not noticeable if you aren't looking for it. Definitely not worth $52.00 per shade as an option! After waiting and paying installer's visit I'm keeping them but they will definitely be replaced by shades from another company sooner than later. Look elsewhere if you want top down/bottom up. Now I understand someone's comment about the frame. It looks OK and holds well but shades have to be totally unscrewed for painting, added cost if you aren't handy. Definitely not what I expected.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you are so unhappy with your shades. Unfortunately, there is not way to prevent wrinkles when shipping a fabric product. The factory uses the best packaging available to minimize wrinkles. However, most roman shades will need to be steamed or you can use a product called "Wrinkle Release" that will remove the wrinkles (spray fabric product). The number of strings on the shades varies by the width and height of the shade. They use the minimum number of strings that will still provide the support needed when raising and lowering the shades. All Top Down/Bottom Up products will have visible strings when the top is lowered. You can return the shades under our Satisfaction Guarantee. I will contact you to see what you would like to do.
