I am a stay at home mom of two girls (under three years old) and was able to install them with rugrats at my feet. Also, they are beautiful and such a great quality. I accidentally didn't measure my living room blinds correctly (they were 2 inches too long) and when I called the customer service department they were so friendly and quickly took care of helping me reorder the blinds at a discounted rate. The new order came in within five days and I installed them in a few minutes. I can't recommend them enough. I consider myself a picky shopper and would leave honest feedback no matter my experience with the company...I am honestly happy with the entire experience."

Because of the narrowness of our window, (13") it was difficult to find blinds that would fit in a store. I LOVED the ease of ordering and the reasonable price for a custom-sized blind. I was very surprised and would recommend both the blind and Blinds.com to anyone who is shopping right now."

We got seven of the two inch blinds in silk white. I would suggest that color for most since it's not a bright white and matches most walls. The "headboard" has a low satin finish and the blinds have less sheen that that. Bottom line, there's no unwanted reflection. The blinds work very smoothly in all operating modes and they aren't "noisy" like the aluminum blinds we replaced. I like the fact that you can't see though the blinds, no small cord holes like most. Make sure you measure the top opening of the window. I measured the middle like an idiot and two of the headboards (inside mount) were about 1/8" too long. This was not blinds.com fault, and I used a miter box to trim them down. A couple of very minor issues; the mounting screws are philips head not 1/4" as I think was indicated. I would have preferred 1/4' heads since they are easier to use. Also, we didn't care for the clear plastic cord cleats that came with the blinds and will be buying metal. The headboards mount well. This is hard to explain but make sure the metal mounts are "squared up" when you install them. If the metal mounts are "bent down" your headboard will hang lower than it should. It's an easy fix, just bend the mounts back where they should be. The customer service at blinds.com is excellent. She was very informative, friendly, and patient. We will be buying more through them. I highly recommend these blinds and blinds.com."

Received these blinds very fast and I was very impressed with the accuracy to the window fit and the quality went beyond my expectations. The installation was easy and took very little time. I read a few complaints about installation and I would have to say if you have the right tools it is very easy to install these blinds."

Even before the blinds arrived I was very impressed with the customer service rep who walked me thru the measuring process and double-checked my order. The blinds arrived yesterday, just barely a week from when I ordered them. They are perfect. Installation was very easy and the quality is exceptional. I will be ordering more for my family room.

They were just the right size, color and quality. Installing them was fast and very easy. The vertical blinds for the patio door came a couple days later and, to my surprise, were even faster and easier to install than the window blinds. The only problem I've encountered is the vertical blinds build up static and stick together creating gaps that don't look very good and violate ones privacy. Is there a cure for that?"
