Select Roman Shades

good 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?

excellent value!



I ordered a house full of blinds as we moved into a new home (41 windows to be exact!). Initially, I had a consultant come out from a major department store to who me their wares and measure windows. After the estimate came back at almost $12,000, my husband encouraged me to look elsewhere. I found select blinds on line. After reviewing the products I ordered samples and was pleasantly surprised. The quality in my best estimation was of that of the major department store I received the quote from, (and in some cases, I believe it was better with more selection for color choice, etc.). I ordered from select blinds, got nicer blinds and saved over $6,000.00 dollars. I had a professional installer put them in for me for $375.00. They look terrific and I've had compliments galore. I accidentally ordered one blind too large by one inch in the width. Select blinds gave me specific directions for return and will cut the bind down to proper size for a fraction of the original cost. An additional benefit to customers. I would recommend select blinds to anyone. For selection, price and convenience, they can't be beat!

VERY pleased with my roman shades!



We just remodeled our home office- and I decided I wanted something a little nicer then the basic blinds we had. I had been going back and forth about Roman shades- but wasn't sure because of the cost. Well- after checking out MANY online sites for them, SelectBlinds was the best value . We have an odd-measurement window- but the blinds fit perfectly. We also splurged and got the cordless version- which I am extremely happy with. Our children are older- so it wasn't so much of a safety issue- but I just love the clean look of them. They go up and down with just a light touch, and seem very well constructed and sturdy. We choose the hobbled fold- and they are gorgeous when down OR up.Very clean, crisp look. (we got them in white to compliment our white wood trim) and they look gorgeous with our blue/grey walls. My husband installed these- and had no trouble. (he is very handy though- so I didn't think that would be an issue anyway) Again- very pleased with my purchase- and would order from selectblinds again for our next room remodel :)

Great Shades for the Price



I love these shades. This order makes the fifth, sixth and seventh time I've ordered this product and would absolutely recommend. My only issue, one that I have been able to resolve but may be an issue for some is that the mounting brackets don't have screw holes that align with my my interior window stiles and I have to drill new holes in each bracket.
