Blinds
I would recommend this product because it is very easy to install and live the fact there is no draw strings , you just push up from bottom and pull down same way. Good room darling feature.

Bad seller contact
This item is damaged and the seller tells me “ to package it and return it”. You cant contact the seller. Im trying to say send me a new one then I will have the box. This item is poor quality I dont recommend. However maybe I got a bad one. Im giving him a chance to make it right.

    Plastic or vinyl
    I don't understand how a vinyl slat can crack and break off, what do I do now? It looks horrible you can even see it from outside, I only know this because my neighbor asked me what happened to it. I went in to check it out and it was broken. I took a pick from outside and inside.

    Great quality great price! Super easy to install!!
    I love the way these look-they are super velvety feeling. I don't like the shiny ones these are more matte. I'm also not a fan of the faux wood blinds I don't like how wide they are and these are perfect! I installed them in 7 windows in about an hour and a half. Love not having to mess with a cord. My toddler can't swing on a blind cord like Tarzan anymore. Two cons to these are that they are light filtering not light blocking at all. I like dark dark dark rooms. I don't open curtains or blinds in my house. I have them for added privacy and efficiency of my home. Second con is that my windows are 40 inch wide and I did the inside mount which makes it 39inch and they are slightly smaller on 6 out of the 7 windows. I chalk that up to the craftsmanship or lack there of when the investor who I bought my house from paid the cheapest price he possibly could for contractors and renovations on the house. So it's more of a home construction problem than a problem with the blinds. Still, there isn't a 40 inch blind option so that's why it's a con. These are great quality for the price of $14.76 that I paid for them.

    Perfect fit, room darkening , nice bright white, easy to install, only hiccup was trying to adjust length , since no string it is almost spring activated. - but once I got the hang of it - it worked good. Would recommend and definitely will purchase again. The upper header is nice enough no curtain needed to cover.

    Horrible blinds
    I absolutely loved these when they came in. They looked so nice. Now that they are up and it's winter they are covered by plastic. Well under that is a cold cold window and these blinds fold down from the sun. I can only imagine what they will look like this summer. Horrible buy sorry these blinds are cheap and not good!!! ? Picture doesn't show all... Plastic is still up and it's like that on both sides of my son's room. I am so mad about this!!! I didn't even know until the plastic was being taken off... Not happy at all!!!

    Easy!
    Extremely easy to install. Look nice and easy to use. But they don't close completely flat, so some light comes though and the slats are very flimsy. I will have to hang drapes/curtains over top to keep the room dark. Also one of the boxes that I ordered didn't have the hardware so I had to return it.

    Don’t waste your money on room darkening
    May as we’ll be light filtering instead of room darkening. There’s no difference between the light filtering ones I had and these except that these are cordless. They also don’t stay open evenly. There’s a slight angle to it.

    They do the job but pay attention to size!
    Well I like the blinds but I had to return them bcuz they weren't the right size. My fault most likely. The 4 stars is due to them being crooked once extended down. One side always is noticeably lower on the bottom. Not that much of a deal breaker for me but my advice is order a bit bigger.. for example my measurement I ordered was 34x64 online but the sticker on the box said those measurements would fit for 33.75 to 34 etc so I had to reorder a new size. I had to go to the 35 just for them to fit perfectly for 34 1/2

    Five Stars for Me
    First of all I didn't expect $80 quality for $30 blinds. However, with that said, these blinds exceeded my exceptions. I was surprised at the quality. Both packages had all of their hardware, the screw heads didn't distort while installing (I always predrill but sometimes the screw heads will still give way), and none of the slats were bent. Although I did do a pickup order which I'm sure contributed to their excellent condition. I purchased these because I needed replacement blinds immediately and at the moment these met by price point especially since I needed 72” length. Even though these were not my first choice this time, depending how they hold up, they may become my go to.

    Would not buy them again
    They melt very easily.. I have direct sunlight, and as soon as the suns in the afternoon, the shades begin to melt or wilt

    Very good value but does not provide real privacy
    I am mostly satisfied with these vinyl miniblinds. They are easy to install. They are one of the better values you will find for window coverings. If they get damaged, they will be cheap to replace. The only problem I noticed was that they do not close all the way. When fully closed, there is a 1/4" gap between the blind slats. This means that the blinds cannot be "room darkening" because they let in too much sunlight. It also means that you will not have complete privacy. When the blinds are closed, someone just outside the window could see into the room (at least a little way); especially at night when you have a light on in the room. I don't know if this is a problem with all miniblinds or just these.

    nice product, good price, but had to order
    Effectively darkens the room I chose it for. Good Price but wished Walmart had this one in stock at the local store. I didn't mind paying for shipping as I really needed this product. Lots of old homes. in my town have 39" windows.
