Rod mechanism breaks after a few years
These blinds break after a few years because the interior rod is made out of plastic. If it was metal, these would last a lot longer. It is unfortunate because I can’t find a replacement piece to fix them when they are fixable if I had the part. Has anyone else been able to find the replacement part? Can the company provide the part?

    The axis (rod) is plastic for blinds open and close actions. The rod breaks into two pieces for no obvious reason after a few years. Will you be able to send me replacement blinds or rods? Thanks.

      I'm not one to usually write glowing reviews of a product even if I love it - before now. These blinds definitely exceeded my expectations in quality, price and ease of installation. The online photos don't do justice to the richness of the color. I was worried that they were going to look "fake". They definitely have a rich tone and look like real wood. The hardware is solid and very functional. If you have some basic tool skills, you'll have no problem installing these. Now to do the rest of our home!!

        The blinds seem fine. The valance is longer than the blinds. Which are inside mount. The valance is at least a half inch longer and will not fit inside window frame. And the valance is needed to hide the ugly works of the blinds. So I will have to try and cut the valance or seek a replacement. I have put up blinds in my entire house and this is the first time for this issue. And the first time to purchase this brand.

          In March 2017 I purchased 3 blinds. The tilting mechanism has failed in the exact same manner on 2 of the blinds. The problem is that the tilting gear assembly is attached to to a long plastic hex rod that controls the tilting mechanism. Apparently, the torque exerted on the plastic hex rod is too much, causing the hex rod to shred & separate over time. If you look at the close-up photo , you can see that the plastic hex rod has completely shredded apart between the tilter gear assembly & the adjacent drum. The hex rod should be made of metal instead of plastic. Note that I returned the 1st blind that failed to Home Depot for replacement & I am in the process of receiving a replacement for the 2nd from the manufacturer.

            These blinds are GORGEOUS. Really nice quality; I was pleasantly surprised to find such superb quality inside this box from Home Depot. The 2 ½ inch slats are luxuriously wide, and the embossed faux wood finish is a top notch feature. I can't imagine getting any better quality from a custom blind that's four times more expensive. The cordless lift and lower is miraculous! You literally raise the blind from the bottom and it effortlessly goes all the way up. Same process to bring it down. No more struggling with a cord on a very heavy wide blind, and having the whole blind come loose from the end caps and crash on your head! The install was extremely easy, and the hardware provided is genius. No stupid end caps to meticulously measure and hope you got it right. It's just a simple four braces above the blind, and it's sturdy as can be. This 72 x 64 blind fit PERFECTLY in my window, and the extra wide 2 ½" slats make for a tight closure and room darkness. I was even able to get the beautiful valance installed, even though I have an inside mount! This blind is PERFECT, and is a great price. Thanks, Home Depot!

              Didn’t send the installation hardware
              I received the blinds and no installation hardware was in the package. I called them and they said they’d mail it out. I received it about a week later but I’m still missing the side covers for the headrail. Need some quality control.

                The longer cords to change direction on the left side did not move and we had to wiggle them (still tight after 2 weeks). One cord to hold and change direction on the top left already came loose (should go into the inside slot on the metal bar) so the slats drooped slightly, see picture. Will take down the blinds and fix the cord later. Also, the width wasn't exactly 69.5 in so we had to cut a few milimeters off. The cords cover on the right side was easily opened (flimsy). Overall, we would have returned it but because we had guests and needed it right away, we kept it. Nice slats width and the textures helped the look.

                Installation easy. Not thrilled with mounting brackets, as they should be wider for more secure mounting. Have installed many in my business that I feel had better mounting hardware. But they function well and look pretty good for the price.

                These blinds are outstanding! Bought enough for entire house, 17 windows total, some specialty sizes, home depot has them or will cut them to fit, or special order. Beautiful in every room, sturdy wand and easy to pull up and down. We bought a total fixer and home depot has everything we need and no junk. Love this store!!!!!! I highly recommend every one shop here, were about to buy their lattice cedar fence panels, more lighting, rugs, paint, you name it! They carry the best best brands at great prices!

                A little difficult to install if you have to use the top inside mount option. Also, some if the strings lost their plastic end coverings soon after installation. But overall they look fine and are easy to operate.

                Blinds have a great look for a very reasonable price. Lots of off the shelf sizes available. Installation was easy. We love how they look in our windows and plan on replacing all our blinds with these. Hoping they will offer a smooth finish in addition to the faux wood finish in the future.

                Easy to install but shortening them a little tricky. After removing button at bottom and taking off excess, putting button back was harder than it ought to be.

                Just put these up today. These are so much better than I imagined! They are heavy, high quality material and look so much more expensive than they are. We are going to do the rest of the house now also. The 2 1/2 inches really set them apart. Installation was easy once you got one up.

                  It's been a couple months now and I still love them. They were fairly easy to hang. I mainly just tip the blinds, not fully open them. The cords work well so far.

                  The Premium Faux Wood Blinds are awesome. My wife loves them. The packaging and installation was straight forward. Very affordable and good quality. I've never installed Blinds before, so for me to install these it had to be straight forward. Minimum tools where required. I definitely recommend this product.

                  These blinds are very well made and beautiful. Removed the old skinny metal blinds and whipped these on in a flash! They are 21/2 " wide and much more fitting for our windows. The hardware on top with 3 fasteners are easy to attach and the blinds pop in nice and secure. Were recommended by my neighbor, who also purchased hers at HD. I bought 4 of this size and 8 larger ones for my larger windows. They are luxurious!

                  These are the worst blinds I've ever purchased.. Bought these in September and the already began to warp by October in the Californian sun.. I bought blinds for 2 windows spend $78 and $96. crazy expensive for blinds that won't last more than a month. Very disappointed by this home depot brand.
