DEZ Furnishings QADO230540 Corded 2 Inch Faux Wood Blind, Dark Oak, 23W x 54L Inches

They did the job that they were meant to do. They are true to size and easy to install. I did notice about 4 days after hanging that the slats started sagging in the center. This REALLY surprised me cause they were only 22½" wide! But this is not my complaint, on the 8th day after the return date 3 of the strings tore from where they were attached to the mechanism that controlled the opening & closing. I was baffled & shocked that this would occur since they were set once and not touched again. They were hung in a bathroom and we have no children to "mess around" with them. I'm very concerned because we purchased 4 sets of them for other windows, 2 more bathrooms need a pair and our office needs 1 set & 1 individual. I do prefer that my windows viewed from the outside of my home have a consistant appearane (the inside just the same) . I still have some I need to purchase so America, should I continue with the same merchant and keep my fingers crossed... or should I throw them all away, start new, and chalk it up to a learning lesson? I do have 12 windows and 2-12ft. picture windows on just the first floor with 2 more floors needing window coverings!

 Ordered two sets of these blinds for our new home. The brackets are pretty cheap and were all bent up. Once I installed the first set they won't even twist open. It just clicks endlessly and they're stuck in one position. They also sag (see photo). I didn't bother to open the second box, I'm sending both back for a refund. Super disappointed - waited a long time (even with Prime) for them to arrive.

Poorly made. The top rail is plastic and if you pull the string with too much force to get them to work it could eventually cause the plastic rail to break, as seen in another customer photo. All the metal supports and bracket pieces were severely bent; I had to bend them all back into shape with pliers before installation. If done over again I would never buy these and definitely do not recommend them.

Omg I am literally obsessed!!!! It's so beautiful and really changes the way my whole living room looks! It is a little pricey but you get what you pay for: rich and sleek looking blinds! :) Totally worth it instead of buying the usual flimsy blinds that rip if you pull it down too far to peak outside the window. I cannot stop looking at it! Fits so perfectly - very happy customer!

These were great for about 6 months. One string broke a few months back but I was still able to operate the blind to go up and down. This morning, a second string broke and now the blind cannot stay open. Very disappointed and will be contacting the seller. I have one in my kitchen that has given me no trouble.

I moved into a new house with absolutely now window coverings and a bunch of oddball sized windows. Needing something affordable and not wanting to have to replace in the near future I bought these. I was a little concerned with the quality when they first arrived but thought they would be fine. For a while they were. Then my daughter started opening and closing hers as the weather improved. They jammed constantly and this morning one of them broke. The main housing at the top simply snapped. So I guess if all you want is something to cover the windows these are fine. My others that basically only do that are fine. If you intend to open and close them at all I would look elsewhere.

This was a piece of crap. The strings that lift the blinds came loose from the lift rod as soon as I tried to lower the blinds. It appears they are just anchored in a slot in a plastic piece and once they come out there is no way to get them to stay in. All three of the cords came loose. I wouldn't buy anything from this manufacturer. based upon this experience. Now I have to repackage them and go to the post office and wait a week to get my refund on something that fell apart within a minute of being installed. No thanks.

Seriously, these blinds are acceptable only if you're rarely going to adjust them. If you need to lift and lower them more than once a week I would tell you to certainly look elsewhere. I'm a fairly athletic, middle-aged guy and I have to grasp the string with both hands and lean back to lift either of my two 30W x 50H blinds. Oddly enough, in order to lower them, I have to jerk down and then hold sharply to the left with my left arm while I pull down on the bottom shade with my right hand. The action is exactly the same for both brand new, carefully unpacked, and properly installed sets of blinds. This shade is really too inconvenient and troublesome to be called cool
