• Nice product but poor instructions.

  The instructions say start scee through opening then press into place to make a mark for hole location. The pass through metal tube for screw is loose fitting so those instructions don't work. Also the screw must be installed at an angle and instructions don't mention that.

  Hi Michael, we wanted to confirm that with an outside mount, the shade will be pushed slightly away from the wall, which may allow some sunlight in. If you’d like to discuss alternatives, such as an inside mount or different shade styles that could better suit your space, please contact our customer service team at [email protected] or 888-256-8672, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. CST.

• Nice

  They are just nice. Not crazy about the fabric. I’ve ordered before and loved the past blinds I bought. This one fabric quality is a little different.

  Hi Lynne, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We’re glad you’ve had positive experiences with our shades in the past, and we’re sorry this fabric didn’t meet your expectations this time. A member of our customer service team has been alerted and will be in touch to see how we can make this right.

• No anchors provided???

  I was very disappointed when I started to install my new Roman shade. In my experience, anchors are almost always needed since drywall is generally the material being drilled into. This shade did not come with anchors for the screws. The directions said you will have to get them yourself. What?? I’ve never not had anchors provided with the 100’s of products I’ve installed. What a pain. Now I have to make a trip to HD to find the correct anchors.

  Hi Lisa, we’re truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience you faced with the installation of your Premium Plain Fold Roman Shade. We understand how frustrating it can be to start a project only to realize a trip to the hardware store is needed. While we appreciate your point, we don’t include anchors with our Roman shades since the type needed can vary depending on the surface being mounted into. That said, your input is incredibly helpful, and we’ll definitely pass it along to our team for review. We truly appreciate you choosing Blindster!

• Took for ever

  The blind are very nice,however it took many calls, emails and days to have a simple correction done. Finally recieved them and the width was short by 1/4 ". The staff was very friendly.

  Response from Blindster

  Hello Sergio, We are so glad to hear you like the shades and I apologize for the longer production time we are experiencing currently. On inside mounted shades, the factory will automatically take an approximate 1/4" deduction from the window opening width provided to ensure that the shade fits within that space. If you'd like to look into a different size, please give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "2" for Customer Service, and we'd be happy to walk you through your options. Thank you for shopping with Blindster.com!

• Roman shades

  You should use 60 in wide material to eliminate any seams. My shades are only 51 inches wide. The seams stick out like a sore thumb.

• Roman shade

  Love the top down bottom up shade. The only negative is the color. I ordered white and the shade is ivory, almost a pale yellow.

• Just okay

  Material is thinner than I expected, should have been 1/2" longer and do not like the pull cord on the backside of shade.

• Roman shade

  Fabric I chose didn't allow for cordless. I thought I could stand it , but I loathe the cords. Standard Cords shouldn't even be an option.

• Beautiful shade but order cordless if inside mounted

  I'm extremely happy with the appearance of my shades. However, I ordered the cordless option thinking I'd eliminate the potential of it becoming dirty over time from people's hands when they open/close it (not to many use the little plastic handle). Well... the cord sets behind the shade, plus I have an inside mount, so people need to move the shade with their hand to get access to the cord (defeating my reason for getting the corded). Also, when the shade is opened/closed, the top of the cord "cuts" (bunches up) into the fabric as I pull it to the side so the fabric never lays flat (and it's too high up for me to straighten the fabric each time). Love the fabric and look but poor design/engineering on corded open/close mechanism is what's disappointing.

• Fabric great, head rail broken. customer service to remake it.

  I ordered 2 blinds in my first ever order and though one of the blinds head rail was intact, the other was broken. These are very heavy shades and the head rails should be stronger wood with metal reinforcements. Also the hardware used n the head rail was flimsy and came out repeatedly during installation. Besides the fabric being good I was not too pleased with any of the construction of the blinds.I hope they remain on without incident. I will however say the customer service was very helpful and has sent the other blind to be remade and shipped to us right away.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm so sorry about that broken headrail Zenab. We completely understand where you're coming from and appreciate the feedback. I'm glad our customer service was able to assist you and we hope you're pleased with the replacement. Again, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.
