| Overall Rating: |      | | | Appearance: |      | | Construction: |      | | Installation: |      | | Value: |      | | I ordered roman shades for two large windows with OUTSIDE mounts. I preferred SelectBlinds' fabric selections over JC Penneys, Sears, and others I compared. Two concerns: the design/manufacture of the Roman shades "pull-up" system seems flimsy. I'm gentle with items in my home; but if these were used regularly by a family I don't think they'd last very long. Next, the outside mount design assumes all windows have trim around the frame. My home was built in the 60's and none of the windows have trim around them. Because of the location of eye loops used for the Roman shade design the brackets sent with the shades weren't large/long enough for installation. I had to go to the local hardware store and buy 5 other brackets for each shade installation. I also had to relocate the pulley/lock mechanism to the underside of the rail so I wouldn't have to use brackets so long that the shades hung far away from the wall to accommodate that fixture. I don't know if the average customer would have thought to make these changes if installing their own shades. I'm lucky I'm handy, and was taught to creatively fix things when growing up. Bottom line, your web site could list another option or two so the proper brackets shipped with the shades, and the pulley/lock mechanism was mounted in the best place for installation and operation. Too much info? | |
