Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection Maple 2-1/2 in. Premium Faux Wood Blind - 36 in. W x 48 in. L (Actual Size 35.5 in. x W 48 in. L)

These blinds did not last three days before heavy warping from sun. I am not sure how they can sell blinds that can not withstand normal sun exposure. I am very disappointed in this product. and will be returning them. Do not waste your time with this product.

Blinds are just what I expected and wanted. Look very nice. Many have commented on the wide slats. Looks very nice. Easy to hang. Only trouble is snapping on the valance. All blinds fit perfectly when measured and ordered as instructed.

I bought these primarily because they match the blinds the previous owner left in other rooms - easy decision. While installing, I realized the header is cut ~1/2" short, just as the blinds are, relative to the order size. That's normal for blinds & shades - but for this product, it leaves enough space for the header to jostle sideways in the mounting brackets (I did an inside mount - I think that this would be less of an issue for an outside mount). I used the workaround I saw in the other sets and wedged some of the cardboard the blinds came in at either end of the header, inside the brackets. Problem solved.

These faux wood blinds really dress up a window especially when installed inside the window frame. The pulls work easily.

Photo of these blinds installed over ten years ago.

I was looking at products everywhere, I needed blinds now. Easy installation, fast and simple. When I was doing the installation it was 100 degrees, after installation there was a dramatic effect on the comfort of my home.

No cons. Looks Custom. My daughter installed these in 15 minutes.

My daughter (who is moderately handy) installed these blinds in 15 minutes. If she had power tools it would have been less.

I purchased this blinds for my kitchen. It gave me the look of shutters which are considerably more expensive. The install was super easy and was completed in 15 minutes for one set of blinds.

Easy to install. Simple. Beautiful. I really like the trim piece at the top that covers the mechanism. I would buy these again.

Blinds well constructed and fit well. Look great and function smoothly.

These blinds are very sturdy and solid. I am happy with the brightness of the white and the construction. Not only were these easy to hang, but the measurements online were spot on! The top bracket perfectly encloses the window frame and the privacy is much higher with these than our previous 1" blinds. A good buy for the price.

Easy to install, functional, and looks great! Definitely a premium purchase at a bargain cost. Installed 13 in our new house for under $550!

These blinds look beautiful in my home. They have made such a difference and I have received numerous compliments. Also, they are pretty simple to install. I definitely recommend them!

We have put these blinds in two houses now. Have never had a problem with them, and are very pleased with the quality. Installation is easy and straight forward. All of the mounting hardware is included. One box was missing a valence and a replacement was sent following a call to the 1-800 number.

Our kitchen originally had white blinds and it looked dull. We wanted to find something that wouldn’t break the bank only look like it did and these were perfect. Custom blinds were going to cost us about $1,100. Home Depot was able to cut our Espresso Faux Wood blinds to fit and installation was a simple as 1-2-3. If you follow the directions in the video on how to measure your window you will be fine.

The measurements were perfect, so it slid into the place of the old one, in seconds.

These arrived quicker than promised, they are very straight forward to install and look great. Very pleased with my purchase and strongly recommend. It is hard to tell they are not wood till you actually touch them.

We have an older version of these blinds in our bedroom and after several years it is still working great. After a minor remodel we replaced some old metal blinds with these blinds. They are affordable, easy to install, work great, and look nice.

The Premium Faux wood Blind had all part and screws needed for a complete installation .all cords that is attached to the blinds were pack and storage in such away , they were tangle free This project came off without any problem . the instruction were in the box but wasn't needed.

Product is extremely easy to instal, however, you need to replace the screws with regular sheetrock screws for better bite and strength.

Bought the blinds in preparation for selling the house. Easy to install. Good value. Makes the rooms look more finished and camoflages the not-so-attractive windows. I prefer the draw-string cords for opening/closing the blinds, as opposed to the twist rod that comes on some brands.

Easy to install with minimal skill. The top rail detail looks nice and is appropriate for a living or dining room.

It was very easy to install, the finishes are good and it looks great once they are installed with the crown trim that helps give the window an expensive look. I recommend product.

These wood blinds are beautiful and were very easy to install. They fit the window perfectly and block light during the highest sun of the day to help keep my office space cool. My husband is a photographer and he needs to have room darkening blinds in order to edit photographs. These blinds work perfectly and accomplish the right amount of dark for his purposes. When the blinds are open, the office still looks light-filled and sunny.

I bought this product from Home Depot after researching several sites online. It was going to be delivered much faster from Home Depot and the price was better. My window measurements were very specific since this was a custom window. The other sites were going to take advantage of this and charge me more. The product is very good quality and fits perfect.

When you pull the cord to open and close the blinds it turns a rod inside the blind. This rod brakes after about a year of use. We have had to replace 2 sets of blinds, and home depot customer service cannot help us because this particular part is not under warranty. If we knew the blinds would cost so much to maintain, we would have spent the money upfront for a higher quality blind instead of having to keep replacing them.

I'm a 30-year remodeling and interior design contractor. I bought two sets of these blinds. I Installed them a couple weeks ago, and they are literally melting. Apparently they can't be exposed to direct sunlight, which seems like a major design flaw in window blinds. These windows get less than one hour of direct sunlight a day, one of the windows gets about 15 minutes of direct sun daily and those blinds are also warped. They are so warped now that they won't open or close, and provide no privacy whatsoever. Returning for a refund.

Looks good, not too hard to install. Plan to replace all the blinds in the house with these.

Just over a year ago, we purchased these blinds for all the windows in our home. They looked great when I installed them. We got lots of compliments. After a few months, the ones in the west window (getting the afternoon sun) started to gradually warp and become misshaped. Now all of the ones on the west facing windows (all but one) are warped beyond belief. It is an extreme eyesore and can be seen from the street. I would NOT recommend to anyone!!!
