Customized Faux Wood 69-inch Window Blind

I bought these blinds in Aug of 09. They were a pain to hang and the cord was very, VERY hard to pull to lift the blinds. I pretty much have to put all my strength into it. I rarely lift the blinds though so I just figured I'd leave them down and only use the other cord to "open" the blinds. This cord too was very difficult to use but not as bad as the other cord. Yesterday I pulled the cord to open the blinds and it snapped off in my hand! So I got 1 year out of these crappy blinds, definitely not worth the aggravation and certainly not worth the money. Would not recommend.

Very pleased with these blinds. Purchased 5 in 3 different sizes to update the windows in the condo I just moved into without spending a fortune, These look like the more expensive kind you can purchase, and much more affordable even than the ones you can purchase at the home improvement stores that are only available in the 64" length that have to be trimmed to fit. Easy to install and included is the 3" valance that looks like crown molding and cover the top and completes the look. If you are lucky to find the sizes you need in the same color, don't hesitate. Remember to order at least 1/2" and recommended at least 1" in width less than the measure of the window for inside mounting. I shop with confidence from Overstock, as shipping is always fast and if ever a problem, the customer service can't be beat.

This looks good but it's definitely not wood. Nice crown molding to trim it out included. Pearl white is an off-white for sure.

The blinds are definitely "faux wood", but work well if you are looking for something that looks nice. Be aware that the "pearl white" is definitely off-white; if you are looking for something bright white, the color options above do not have anything "bright white." Even the "snow white" is slightly off-white as well. The blinds are also very heavy (this doesn't impact my rating - it's nice that the blinds are so substantial).
