I had beautiful huge wide white blinds on a 4' wide window that got hard usage. After 6 years one cord broke and I asked Selectblinds if they could be repaired. Selectblinds said they don't use that factory anymore. So they sent me new blinds-- that look the same, but have no cords at all, you just push them up and down! I sent them the money for shipping and the blinds appeared at my door. This is a thing that never happens!
