I live in a 100 year old house with two large front windows facing my porch that would allow someone to look through the entire length of my home. Needless to say, they needed to be covered. I was concerned about blocking too much light, so I ordered a bunch of samples and was most satisfied with what I found here. I needed reverse mount shades to clear the bottom window sash, so no motorized option for me. The shades fit perfectly. At one point a mounting bracket got wedged to the rail, but disassembling one of the ends to slide it off was a case of removing two screws, which was helpful. Getting the brackets to grab the rail once they were mounted was a bit tricky, I had to use a quick smack to pop them in—but now I’m very confident they aren’t going anywhere. All in all the positives vastly outweigh the negatives and I would 100% buy these again.

My husband and I just built a custom 3,000 square foot home with lots of windows and French doors. I placed the Select Blinds order on the first of December, but waited to pull the trigger until the company could send me samples. It took weeks before they finally had samples back in stock. I attribute that to people wanting to freshen up their homes before the holidays which depleted Select Blind's sample section. Finally they did come back in and I was able to look at several choices and finalize my order. Again, due to a shortage of materials, it took additional weeks to make the blinds and start seeing our order arrive. We've received most of the order piecemeal, and are still waiting on the final two Roman shades. I had a local business come to my home to give me an estimate, and another person who works with Costco also come. The first estimate was over $7,000 and the Costco estimate was over $10,000 for essentially the same materials. SelectBlinds was a little over half of the $7,000 quote. When the blinds finally arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled (and relieved truthfully) with the quality of the materials. I ordered their Designer Elements Light Filtering Roller Shades in Vintage Diamond and their Designer Elements Blackout Roller Shades. The material looks like linen, and the motorized shades and easy lift shades work beautifully. The Roman shades are Premium Farmhouse Woven Woods - Avery. The sample looks beautiful and I expect that the actual blinds will be as well. I haven't ordered blinds for the French doors because I wasn't sure if I wanted to, but I'm now fairly certain that I will, and I will definitely use Select Blinds again. Oh, and their customer service is phenomenal - Vanessa was so helpful with one blind we received that was the wrong dimension, and was our error with the measurement. All in all, it was worth all the waiting; I'm so glad I went with this company.

The shade is very nicely made and fits the window perfectly. Could've used clearer docs.

Bought and installed light filtering shades for the rear 2nd story windows of our home. They are really great looking with the "sail cloth" fabric and have just the right amount of transparency. Good and sturdy construction, and operate flawlessly. I measured and installed them myself and the fit was 100% correct. It was a little tricky to slide the cassette onto the clips but it worked out eventually. I am a very happy customer and just ordered one more shade for a remaining window.
