We ordered plantation shutters for our living room and not only were they beautiful, when we shopped for price comparisons the price was very competitive! Installation was a breeze, delivery was on time and the communication and assistance throughout the process impeccable! We can’t wait to buy life shutters for all the windows in our house!
I ordered the 2" faux wood in smooth white for my whole house (11 windows). I thought ordering so many would make them take longer than the website's estimate but I was surprised when they showed up a week early! I really appreciated having the boxes labeled too because 10 of the 11 were just fractions different. We had someone recently try to break in and these were such a tight fit- you can't see in at all from the sides (or through the route holes because we got routeless) and I feel so much better. I did have one that became difficult to lower a few weeks after install but I emailed in customer service ordered me a new one right away!
Blinds.com delivered exactly what they promised! Our new blinds look beautiful, were easy to install, and working with the Blinds.com team was easy and they were VERY helpful. I had them on the phone for an hour while I struggled to measure properly and talked through all my options. Our rep, Jared, was patient as my wife and I worked out the details on what we would be ordering. Jared exhibited everything I've come to know about the Blinds.com brand - they make the complex simple. Even when I mismeasured, they remade a blind, for FREE! Just like they guarantee. The only thing I would change is having a bigger house so I could order more. :)
We ordered blackout roller shades for a patio door that gets a ton of sunlight and was heating up the house. I'm so glad I chose Blinds.com. It was so easy to order and install and I was really impressed with the quality of the shade. Now I want to cover the rest of the windows in my home.
