Putting up your own window treatments is a heck of a lot easier than talking about yourself (seriously; this is worse than writing your own résumé), but here goes.
This is the story "About Us."
It all started in 2003 when our founder, reverent risk-taker and lean (because he's also an extreme athlete) startup evangelist Rick Steele was looking for window shades to help his young daughter sleep better. Frustrated and floored by the high cost and hassle of finding custom window treatments that fit, he decided to take matters into his own hands. So he started SelectBlinds.com.
Rated one of the Best Online Shops 2020 by Newsweek magazine, we're now one of the fastest-growing internet retailers in the home décor industry. And we continue to grow by leaps and bounds, with millions of super happy customers. (Don't take our word for it. Check out their reviews.)
Our goal? To provide a friendly, relaxed online environment where customers can find high-quality, budget-friendly DIY window coverings that meet their unique needs.
Why, you ask, are our customers so happy? Because we are! We're happy because we get to come to work each day and have fun helping people save lots of money and time buying beautiful, child-safe custom window coverings. All at ridiculously affordable prices. Which makes them very happy.
We make people even happier by showing them just how easy it is to measure and install our custom window coverings on their own. It's so simple, in fact, if you can hang a picture you can hang your own window blinds! We make DIY disarmingly easy.
Child safety is a really big deal to us. Really big. HUGE. That's why we were the first online retailer in our industry to offer a cordless option on every single product we offer, waayyyy before it became mandatory in 2018. Every. Single. Product. Because we're committed to helping our customers prevent the needless deaths and injuries that occur every day from strangulation hazards posed to children (and pets) by corded window products. That's why we offer free cordless options on more products than any other company.
We don't want to brag, but we will. Just a little. Here are just a few of the shows and networks our high quality, custom window coverings have been featured on.
We're very social, too. Designers, DIYers, popular bloggers and influencers of all things interior design like us. They REALLY like us! And we love being inspired by and collaborating with them. In fact, we're the go-to supplier of custom window treatments for dozens of DIY decorators who participate in the bi-annual One Room Challenge™ sponsored by Better Homes and Gardens. Interested in collaborating with us? Just click here.
Curious about our quality? Relax. It's the same (or better!) than the Big Brand Names like Hunter Douglas and Levelor. We put together this little Academy Award-winning video (well, we think it should be anyway) to show you just how well made your custom-crafted window treatments are.
Once an order has been built, a tracking number will be provided within 1-2 business days. It usually takes 7-12 business days for most custom orders to arrive at your doorstep after you’ve placed your order.
