• Very happy!

  I first discovered Blindster when I was looking for a shade for my bedroom. I'm happy that I decided to order from them. I was hesitant at first since their prices are so much lower than any other shades I found. I am so happy with my bedroom shade that I decided to order one for my living room. When the living room shade came it was dented. I called customer service and was asked to send pictures. I did and the shade was replaced. I didn't have to return the damaged shade.I was actually told to keep it and donate it or give it away. (it was actually so dented that it didn't work,but still good customer service) I ordered one shade in the 1% Flint, and the other in 3% Granite. Here's my only caveat, I ordered several samples (which come quickly, much more so than others I ordered from competitors) some colors are not at all what you'd expect. But more importantly is that some samples in the 1% were much more open than others. The same with the 3%. There was a lot of inconsistency between samples. So, I'd definitely order from Blindster but I would make sure you order samples and compare before ordering.

• Great blinds, price and customer service BUT

  The blinds are great, the price was good and your customer service after I realized I measured wrong was top notch. My issue is with the brackets that come with the blinds. Yes, the left bracket can be mounted easily before the blind end is inserted into it. The right bracket needs to be attached to the blind, swung up, the blind needs to be leveled and then the bracket needs to be screwed on the wall. Only problem there, the blind roll does not give you room to drive the screws in. If your installing a 3' blind you may be able to mount and level the brackets but when your talking 139" like I ordered, it's not going to work. I welded a 4.5" piece of metal to all the brackets, drilled holes and that worked for me. I was able to get the blinds up, leveled and screwed into the wall with ease that way. Something to think about, extending the bracket attachment points.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you had problems with your installation. It is sometimes difficult to level a roller shade that is 139" wide. We usually recommend that you mark the place where the screws are placed into the bracket with a pencil (while you are leveling the shade. Then you can remove the shade from the bracket, install the bracket and then mount the shade. Thank you for presenting an alternative solution.

• Solar Shades

  I give the shades 4 stars because our window measured out to be the smallest width they had. The window frame is right around the window so I was nervous about ordering them but it was a great deal and the window measurement matched. When the shades arrived it was an extremely tight fit to hang the shades, but we got them up. They look wonderful and keep out the sun but it is difficult to pull the shade up or down. We are careful and hope that it will wear in time to be able to adjust the shades easier.

• Nice set of shades

  We ordered 5 sets of solar shades for our new home and they look and work great. Value was good and we loved the customer service: When we realized that one of the measurements was off a bit (the size of the window frame varied on bottom vs top), we called customer service and explained the issue and they re-sent us a new shade free of charge (we only had to pay $15 for delivery), which was excellent! The only thing I would note is, that I rather would like to see Phillips screws delivered with the purchase instead of the slot heads (which make it much harder/impossible to use an automatic screwdriver)

• Great Value Quality Product

  Have bought aprox 30 of these and have been satisfied with all of them. They install relatively quickly and help to modernize the office as well as brighten it.

• I really like these blinds

  I bought these blinds to replace some 2 inch venetion blinds. They went up easily and I like the look, sleek and neat. My brother even remarked how much he liked them. Thank again for another perfect fit.

• LOVE these Solar Shades

  My first purchase from Blindster, and I couldn't be more happy with the whole process. The measuring instructions were clear, the shades were manufactured quickly, the packing was very good, and the shades themselves were excellent. They've transformed my guest room, giving it a crisp contemporary look. This room has always been hot, due to the morning sun blasting the windows. The Solar Shades eliminated an amazing amount of the heat, making the ambient temp quite pleasant now. The 1 pct. opening allows just a bit of visibility of the outside, while still allowing privacy during the day. During the night, however, when interior lights are on, know that you'll need draperies to provide additional privacy. I am very pleased with the product, with Blindster, and will purchase from them again.
