I am very impressed with the quality of the shades. Though this is for my own home, I am also a professional in the window shade industry so I am familiar with shades and installations. I suggest to anyone doing this themselves to really follow the instructions and call for help if needed. I did the measuring myself, on the inside mount shades I did run into some problems but managed to fix it. I suggest one pay the extra price for guaranteed to fit. Windows can vary in width from top to bottom so it is important to measure the top opening of the window ( as well as the bottom opening ) to ensure that the shade will fit properly. The one thing I did not like is that on the metal continuous cord, it is not continuous, the ball chain is connected with a connector. I have a tool that will allow me to connect the chain together without this connector so I can live with it, for now. All in all it is a great product and Blind Chalet is an excellent source for shades.

BEAUTIFUL BLINDS. Worth the price!

I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY ROLLER SHADE. IT'S GREAT QUALITY, INSTALLED EASILY AND SHIPPED AHEAD OF TIME

This is the second time we have ordered blinds, customer service (Kelly Rangel) is the best. She went above and beyond to make this a fantastic experience. Love the blinds. Thank you all so very much!

1. We love how nice it looks from the inside (not as glamorous from outside, but my husband is picky).
2. We LOVE how quiet and slowly it rolls back up!!
3. We love being able to see out (ish) without anyone seeing in
4. Sometimes you have to try a couple times to get it to catch right if you're trying to have the shade partially up (never taken more than 3-5 tries...usually it's 1-3)
5. Only major complaint - when our dogs play by the window and bump up against it, the shade will often close itself (making for some awkward instances in front of the picture window that faces the main road we live on). I just talked to customer service and they're going to check with the manufacturer to see if there's a hook or something we can use to keep it from self-closing...if not we'll figure something our ourselves.

We spent MONTHS trying to decide what we wanted and even with the headache of the shade closing on itself I'd still get the same one if I had to do it over (I just might do a different open/close option)
