I purchased 7 of these shades for 2 bedrooms. The blinds come with a wrapped valance to give the them a custom look. From the inside and the outside, the blinds look great. Unfortunately, I made a mistake when measuring. I'd hoped to mount them "inside", but once they were "in hand", I realized that my window would not accomodate an inside mount. I was able to mount them a little higher.. on the top part of the window frame instead of inside, as planned. This made them slightly narrower than I would like for an outside mount, but since I plan to use drapery panels, it will be fine. When hanging drapes, you will need a rod that stands at least 3 inches from the wall to allow the valance to fit behind them. I am going to order more for other bedrooms, but will measure from the outside mount distance and make sure that my drapery rod is far enough to allow the valance to fit behind the panels. The next sets will probably be about 4 inches wider. These blinds are equal to the custom blinds I had in my previous home. They were very well packed and easy to assemble. The mounting instructions were just ok, but once I put up the first one, realized it was very straight forward. I was able to hang 7 of them, unassisted in under 4 hours. To hang you will need a drill, a power screwdriver , a level and measuring tape. If your windows are consistant, you will figure out a method to place brackets without measuring every time. I learned after the first one to hang the center bracket slightly off center to accomodate the center cords. Even though my blinds were only 30" wide, I used the center bracket for stability. The bracket screwed to the window frame, but there was no obvious place to screw it into the blind frame. I guess the support of the frame resting on it is enough? The instructions really could have been more informative.

I still can't believe the price on these blinds. They are as nice as ones the local "made to measure" places sell. I have never been able to find blinds "off the rack" that fit my windows- and these fit perfectly- not a single adjustment needed. I will furnish the entire house now!
