• Not suitable for Seniors or Privacy

  I needed something for over the sink, looking out to the street. These were a small fortune. The chain is hard reach because it is too short (and I have to lean across the sink and I am short) and I can only pull down six inches at a time. I found a chain extension but Blindster didn't write down the size of the chain anywhere and for this price, it should have been included. The shades themselves are way too clear. I can read the license plates of cars going down the street and people can see everything I am doing inside when it is dark and the light is on. That's the main reason I want blinds -- for privacy. I can't afford to replace them now. It cost a pretty penny to hire someone to put them up and he had trouble though I don't know what.

• Horrific Packaging

  My displeasure with Blindster is unrelated to value, quality or appearance. There packaging is horrific at best. That's why I gave them 1 star. Multiple shades in plastic sleeves loosely placed in an oversized carton without adequate protection was a recipe for disaster. Every end cap on the solar shade cassettes, 12 in total, was knocked off. The aluminum cassettes received minor scratching and 2 shades came loose from their brackets, no doubt from tumbling around in their oversized master carton. We also received only 5 sets of mounting brackets for 6 shades. I touched up the scratches with a felt tip. Bent back several brackets to reinstall the shade rolls and replaced the end caps as best I could. They are sending a new set of mounting brackets and some replacement end caps. Hey, but I saved 15%.

  I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with packaging. This factory normally does a great job with packaging. I will let them know right away that there was a problem.
