"These wood blinds perfectly add richness and beauty to our living room! I'm glad we went with the real wood because they are so light and easy to pull up and down, given the large size of our windows. It was nice to be able to order samples ahead of time to pick a color that would closely match our wood beams on the ceiling. We went with the Pecan because it's a nice medium brown wood that isn't too yellow or too red tinted... Even the pull cords are cute and decorative and add to the overall look of the blinds!" -Jennifer M. Kingsford, MI

"I was SO skeptical to order blinds online. But I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the 2” faux wood blinds! They were delivered one day sooner than what was estimated once they shipped, and arrived in excellent condition. For the price, I was worried they would be the very thin slats with the wood grain texture, but they are the thicker slats that I was hoping for! Installation was a breeze and they look great in my home. I definitely recommend Blinds.com and will purchase again in the future." -Megan H. Minooka, IL
