I love these shades. They help give off a golden glow in the room when closed and a beautiful window dressing when open. They match our rooms great and are of great quality. They open and close very smoothly.

I ordered six of the Tavarua bamboo shades over the course of last year. I like them, and all came shockingly quick (a few weeks — although my first got delivered by DHL to a blinds’ business), but they aren’t perfect. For three of my shades I went with sunshade in white vs. capri chalk because I couldn’t tell from my sample of the latter if vertical lines were just along edges or every few inches. This could be fixed by full images online of what each design looks like. A small photo, or even a sample square, can’t beat a photo of a full shade on a window. I wish reviews could include photos so I could show others what my shades look like in real life. (The sunshade white is a very gray white and I feel like the image online doesn’t convey that.) On two of my three sunshade white shades I got the optional wide ribbon edging and the ribbon material is stretched out in places which is disappointing. Fortunately it’s mostly near the bottom which is usually hidden, but grosgrain in a less stretchy material would look better. Also disappointing is all my shades have some level of unevenness along the bottom, with the left side being a bit higher than the right on many. Also, one of my two parchment clay shades is cut unevenly along the left side, with a bigger gap up top near the valance than at bottom. Again this is disappointing as it’s a group C ($$$) style. I hope my feedback can improve quality control for these as they are unique and cool, easy-to-install, plus a good value compared with window coverings from other companies.

These blinds are gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. Still can't believe I measured my own windows and bought blinds from the web, but they were perfect. High quality...samples really helped.
