You get what you pay for here. These 'do the job,' but they're very cheaply made, and I don't know how they'll hold up over time. If you look at the 4th product photo, you can see that the ends of the slats are not stained — they are white, which gives it a very cheap unfinished look. I had to go to a crafts store and find a matching felt marker, and then spent a half hour coloring both ends of each slat to get it to look decent. There was also significant chipping at the ends of many slats on the front/back surfaces which revealed the white wood, which I also touched up with the marker. I put these up in a workroom window, so they're ok for that. In the rest of the house I have Devenco blinds, but those start at $350 for a 30" width.....

    Elegant and functional
    Home Depot came out and measured my windows. These blinds were for my back door. Since they didn't have the size I needed in stock, they ordered them online for me. A super nice lady called me back from the store and gave me a total. She also ordered a temporary paper blind I could put up until they arrived. The installation guy came two weeks later and installed the real blinds. They are a beautiful shade of espresso. I loved them so much, I got blinds for my entire house! If you're looking for real wood blinds at a reasonable cost, these are perfect. The quality is excellent, and the product is gorgeous. I'm posting pics from my upstairs room that we turned into an art gallery for my paintings and my husband's photography.

    Bought these and was delighted to get such a good price in exactly the size I needed. However, they are cheaply made — the vertical connecting strings don’t go through the slats, just fit in grooves along side, allowing the slats to slide side to side and not hang right. The string mechanism to tilt the slats open and closed broke less than 6 months after install — and these were not frequently used. Disappointed in Home Depot for offering such a low quality product. Disappointed in me for being enticed by the low price. You get what you pay for on this one.

      Ours is on a double windows and is very heavy to operate. To heavy for the kids. The quality is in the lower range but is priced appropriately. I would not buy again

      I can't tell you how disappointed I am in this product. It was so filthy I had to wipe it off before I could take it out of the packaging. Once out I saw nicks and scrapes on the valance and the blind slats appear to be made of some cheep particle board that you could simple snap in half. In fact, a few of the slats were chipped. I have come to expect a lot more from the quality of Home depot, this certainly disappoints.

        Poor Quality
        We purchased these blinds less than a year ago for our entire house. Within a couple of months they started going downhill. All blinds the get direct sunlight (more than half) are completely warped and bowed. They do not close properly anymore and look horrible. Would not purchase again or recommend, waste of time and money, which is ashame because they do look nice when they are first installed.

          Cheep plastic, slats do not close all the way. Difficult to install, hanging base was not cut evenly and we had to file it down to get it to fit.

            Beautiful but a pain to install
            These blinds are gorgeous! The worst part is installing them, as adding the wood trim to the top is a complete pain and requires two sets of hands and severe coordination. Otherwise I am in love with these blinds.

              Installed 2 weeks ago. Shipped promptly after ordering. If you are installing as inset blind you will find the instructions totally worthless. They say to install the brackets with 2 1/8" spacing which is silly as not every house has the same depth window jams. Do NOT install the brackets recessed into the window opening if using the supplied valence! Make sure you completely assemble the blind with valence and place in widow opening to verify the bracket mounts. If using the valence it is required that the bracket extends somewhat into the room fo the valence brackets to fit and to be able to close the bracket covers to hold the blind. We like the blinds once installed. Be aware the valence while wooden comes with plastic end finishing pieces.

                Wood blinds
                The color selection to choose from wasn't even at the store so we were guessing on the color- when it came in the color was very off!

                    Great product - good looking and functional.
                    We have Home Decorators Collection blinds in most every window in the house at this point. Their variety of colors and types allowed for customization for the various room styles. If they don't have what you need in the store check the Internet or get the store personnel to order for you online.

                      SIMPLE
                      These were quick and easy to purchase and install. Good value as well. Only complaint would be one set of bolts were straight rather than a much easier Phillips head. Other than that these were a breeze!

                      Beautiful blinds
                      We love these blinds, easy to install. However, I rated it 4 stars because when we want to switch blind direction, so the sun doesn't hit the room directly, the upper wood blind gets stuck a bit by the frame; doing have to pull a bit harder. Otherwise, overall, they work fine.

                        Very Disappointed
                        We choose these because we wanted real wood blinds and good quality . They are poorly constructed blinds. We order four sets and each set had a different problem. One blind had holes in the slats like a termit had a hay day at them. Another blind, the plastic piece was broken that kept it from not wanting to go up and down. The wood slats are very thin and will break if you have kids or animals that like to go near windows. There are two corner piece that are plastic and look ridiculous cause everything else is wood. For the price just buy the faux blinds cause they will hold up and will look just as nice.
