They look very nice,were fast to install,and were affordable.If you are looking for complete darkness or privacy,they wouldn't work,they let alot of light in,and if you are standing in front of them with your lights on,you can see shadows............however they are perfect for us,in the livingroom! If we need more blinds we will be purchasing from this site again."

I called the customer service and immediately was assisted. The service representative wanted to take time to call the manufacturer and while I was on hold. During my hold, II was able to fix the problem myself. A few days later, I received a call that the manufacturer will be sending out a new blind. Unfortunately I was on vacation when they called or I would have asked them to cancel the replacement. Mine was fine. I will continue to order my blinds from blinds.com. Service is important and they go well beyond being average in this sector!"

Our only problem in installing them was that we needed screws about 1/4 in longer. My husband got those, and up the blinds went. Now to be fair, I should tell you that our installers are 85 and 78 years old (my husband and I), so maybe the shorter screws work for younger folks. Thanks so much."

The screws that were included were 3/4" and couldn't hold the shade in place. The screws should have been 1-1/4" as the shades needed to be installed closer to the front of the window frame. Fortunately, we still had the screws from the previous window covering and used them."

We needed a non-standard size and were quite amazed at the price of custom blinds at Lowe's and Home Depot. The website was easy to navigate, ordering was simple, the only hard part was containing our excitement until the blinds arrived. My only complaint is a minor one: the installation screws are hex head with slots. Hex with Phillips would be better."

The shade looks great: clean lines, good quality. I was given good guidance in how to measure with great installation instructions. The only thing I would change is to have ordered them with more blackout/light resistance, but completely my fault. Would definitely order from blinds.com again."

It was easy to install, and works well. Very pleased! Color and quality are both very good, just as expected. Shipping went as expected. Compliments on the way that blinds.com packaged my blinds.

I came across these and they were the most affordable custom shades I could find. Others being 4-8 times as much. I was skeptical that they may look cheap. They look very nice. They keep out lots of light. A little light shines through the cord holes but not enough to seriously disturb sleep. Nice product, I would recommend anyone looking for affordable custom blinds."

It is a difficult size, very long and narrow. When we asked for custom blinds, we were shocked at the price! At blinds.com, it was 1/3 the cost of these custom installed blinds! We were very pleased with the order and the blinds. Thanks!"

I thought the way the headrail locks into the mounting clips was a little strange and difficult to maneuver. But once it's in, it's in--so no big deal. The headrail does seem cheap and not too sturdy. This may be more noticeable in my shade because it is 62 " wide. But still, I was a little disappointed in that. Also, the room-darkening backing appears to me little more than paper. I don't know how long it will last in my 3 year old's room but I try to keep him from messing with the window treatments. All in all, it looks nice, does the job, and is adequate."
