    Thanks for the review. I'm replacing the cheap quality blinds the home builder installed and got quotes from 2 local blind companies near me and they're crazy expensive for what I want. I just want 2 window treatments replaced, 1 is a simple roller blackout shade and the other window, I would like plantation shutters. The company locally quoted me $3500 for both.( not gonna happen) the other was $2800 (again not gonna happen) I called select blinds today and they're sending out samples and quoted me UNDER $1K for both, now all I need is to hire a handyman to install them for me.

    Sorry for all the questions but I have just 2 more if you don't mind 😊 I noticed you didn't get a liner done on the backaide of the wooden blinds and you didn't get the protective part along the edges. Do they still block the blinding sun in those few hours of the day that the sun is blaring into the house without the liner? And how are the edges holding up? Are they fraying at all? Thank you so much!

    Over a certain width, I think they recommend splitting it into multiple shades. There are instructions on how to measure for that. We have a bay of three windows in one opening. We did three separate shades for that and it looks great.

    Hi, Elissa! Depending on the product we can go anywhere from 96" - 120" wide with our window shades. You can also do two, or three in one window opening. We would just need to work with you to get them as close as possible to each other to prevent light gaps. Feel free to email customercare@selectblinds.com, chat with us on our site or call us at 888-257-1840 if you have any questions!

Like clockwork, a sales agent called me NBD on the cart I saved and was able to knock off even more of the price. It was a 40 piece order on their mid-tier roller shades, so ymmv, but it's for sure better than other retail prices.

    Recently purchased blinds for our home, primarily based on this review. It took several months to receive our order, with additional delays. Considering COVID I let that slide However we received one shade that arrived broken. It has been an absolute horrible experience getting that shade replaced. After numerous rude emails and calls to service where they continue to say they've not received video after numerous attempts from different devices. I couldn't even get the same discount to replace and pay for their defective shade myself. The remaining shades are nice and easy to install. But beware you could be stuck like us and pay for shades that arrived broken. To top it off the rude and condescending customer service was the icing on the cake. Super disappointed.

    You know for years I had wanted to order those kinds of shades, when we brought the house about 20 years ago, we did the same thing, had different vendors come to the house and give us the spree!... I was shocked on all the different prices.. so we put it off and I went by mini blinds from Home depot. the windows in the livingroom.. were very high.. I had catherals ceilings.. and the windows ( 4 ) of them were round up on the top. I ended up just ordering them about 25 inches from the top down and leaving that part uncovered... until I had a friend make special curtains that I put on permanantly ... The cost was over 4000. 00 dollars. after that I was never happy... we lived there for a few years and then sold house. since then we have been living in rent places, and well.. never really thought about it again. we have been thinking about buying a house. Since then we have moved to another state .. so this is going to be the final place, since hubby is now retired.. We will definitely keep this info because I want to try again. Thank you for the information, it definitely was very informative and covered everything you need to know~

To make a long story short everything went fine. All the measuring etc. They are horrible when it comes to getting help with the remote. No one to talk to who knows what is going on. Just a printout with all you have already done. She paid over $900 for one blind and this remote doesn’t work. For hours we looked at KZread for anyone to help. There People Are Bad. Blinds won’t go up or down. Just stuck in the down position.
