I was shopping around in different stores and blind manufactures for cellulars blinds. This is my first time doing it on my own, what an education. In the past we lived in a different home, we custom ordered these type of shades with a upscale brand through a blind dealer/ installer and we paid a lot of money. This time I decided to shop around and install them ourself. I don't know why cellular shades are so expensive, especially anything custom. I came across these shades from Overstock.com and reading all the reviews and Q&A, I decided to order a couple to try, even if it's not good, it was so inexpensive, I don't think I have much to lose. After feeling the texture and the thickness of numerous brand and make. When I finally got these shades, I was so thrill, the quality of them was very good. Even though I read most of the reviews / Q&A, I was still very hesitant, since I normally would never order these things online. I love them!!! I love the price even more. I do hope they'll hold up in time...***For those of you who have questions like some of these I wonder about when I order these (1/4 or 1/2 inch could be very very important in some cases, especially when you're doing inside mount of the window and you don't want to order ones that are way too small that could look unfitted or order ones that are just 1/4 inch too big that doesn't fit or it has no room to move up and down. So how much smaller is the actual shade? I order a 34 inch and the actual shade is 33-3/4 inch, so it's 1/4 inch smaller. Manufacture makes their shades a little smaller so it fits your windows especially if you do a insde mount, so the shade will move. The width / thickness of the shades (not the bracket, bracket is slightly bigger) is 1 inch (one of the Q&A answer was 1-1/2 inch, not sure why, maybe a different brand.) (This may or may not matter to most people, but I thought it may matter to others.) The site didn't accurately point out these top/ down bottom shades are CORDLESS as well. (some review did stated it's cordless, but one of the Q&A answer stated that is corded, so it's quite confusing for the consumer.) The color IVORY is definitely a bit more yellow, but it's a nice color, but, if you want something cooler, then you may want to simply order the only other color choice for the top down/ bottom up...WHITE, which is what I did when I reorder more of them, I wish they have more different sizes and color available...like smaller, wider, shorter. I would have order even more. All in all, the ordering process was very smooth and all the REPs are very professional and friendly. First time ever use this website, so glad I did, will recommend OS.COM to anyone. Hope this helps.
I got these for my front living room windows. I wanted somethign that I could lower from the top so that we could let the light in but still have some privacy and these were just the things. I didn't realize that they were cordless, but that is just an added bonus (my 2 cats love to play with strings) They were very easy to install (just predrill the holes first) and the shade itself just snapped right into place. They come with two small hand holds that allow easy manuvering of the shade itself. I love them so much that I plan on buying 8 more for my sunroom windows :)
This is a single cellular shade which I have in my living room to block the view of neighbors below me. So I mostly use it for a "top down" effect and it works really well. Controls look flimsy but in fact work very well and are just more unobtrusive than most conventional shades. I think these shades are well worth the money.
These are a very nice shade for the money. It should be noted they are a bit more creamy yellow than tan but not unattractive. Also they provide privacy but do not blackout light so on a very sunny window you will awake to the golden light of dawn. I would but them again and replace my more costly shades which are wearing out and going out of warranty. Like the concealed string cordless feature perfect for a safe home with pets or kids.
These blinds were exactly what we were looking for and have fit the window and the room perfectly.
The shades are great and easy to install. The color is yellowish/beige color and not ivory. On the original box the color name is stated "Buttercream" and someone wrote "Ivory" over it in permanent marker. Regardless of the real color, it went well with my décor. I purchased it because other people mentioned that the color was yellowish/beige looking and not Ivory. I love the option of lowering from the top and raising from the bottom. Great shades for the price. I purchased a total of 5 and they all are the same color even though I purchased them in 2 separate orders.
This shade is really well constructed and sturdy. It is easy to install and to use. I love that there are no strings hanging down. I would have given this a 5, except for the color description. I was disappointed that the shades are more yellow than ivory - had I known, I would have ordered the off-white. My husband had already installed 6 shades before I saw the color, otherwise I probably would have tried to return the product and order the off-white. If you order the right color, you will be very happy with these shades.
These blinds are easy to install and look current! Love the versatility of the blind as able to bring the top down and/or the bottom up to block or let in the perfect amount of sun. Will buy more in the near future for other rooms of the house. Love them!! Would love to rate them excellent but haven't used them enough as of this date.
The box states that these are IvoryShades Bed Bath and Beyond. The Ivory color is more of a pale yellow or deep tan. I was going to return them, however, Overstock sticks it to you good when you return items. Regrettably, their picture of the shade showed an Ivory / Off whiite on my computer screen. I find the vast difference in the ACTUAL product received quite puzzling because I''ve rarely had a problem with on screen color of products when ordering and receiving Overstock products. The product price on the box states $****. Therefore, the Overstocks price is a fair price, however, not a great price/good deal. An average rating because of color and price.
