Reminiscent

All shades come with a continuous loop clutch - allowing you to easily stop the shade in any position. These high-quality vinyl shades are available in a variety of colors to coordinate with your room with a white backing.On inside mount roller shades the fabric will be 7/8" to 1" narrower than the roller measurement. This allows space for the shade to operate properly and is true on all brands of roller shades. You may compensate for this by adding to your width measurement and opting for an outside mount. On all inside mounted roller shades you will have a 7/16" to 1/2" light gap on each side of the shade unless there is a window frame, trim, or drapery covering this space.Color shown in picture is White RE1050.Hem Style is 4.

OK for limited uses, August 11, 2008

"We bought two 4ft x 4ft blinds for a basement bedroom to darken it. The windows already had metal blinds but the sun shone through terribly. We added these blinds to the inside of the window, behind the metal blinds, where they won't really show. We don't plan on raising and lowering them very much, if at all. And because of that, they work for us. If you will be raising and lowering them, even once a day, I would buy a higher quality. The pull cord feels very cheap like it will break, the gears the cords are attached to work very poorly (stiff and don't pull smoothly). The installation was a little tricky because they've redesigned the end of the roller opposite the pull cord and that type is not shown in their installation video. If you basically want something nicer for darkening a room than tin foil on the windows, and won't be raising and lowering the blinds, then, after using much care to install them, they'll probably work for you. If kids will be using them, definitely buy a higher quality blind."

"The blinds do not spring up and down easily at all- they do not spring up all the way. I have even had to roll it all the way down to get a spring to get them back up. Im keeping them because since they dont work well, my children dont play with them for fear of breaking them so that is OK with me. They do block out the light well, though."

"I ordered a room darkening shade. The price was much lower than most I had priced. I had made my initial order online then had a question. The customer service department got right back to me and addressed my question. Quick response and great customer service. The shade arrived quickly and was exactly as described. It really cuts out alot of the light...Easy to install....I will absolutely do business with this company again and will recommed to family and friends."

Install, clutch just did NOT work, July 13, 2008

"1. It took me forever to figure out how these things were supposed to be installed.

2. Once they were installed the clutch mechanisms failed after the fourth or fifth use.

3. Then, after comparing this to the Bali shades I eventually bought, I realized how incredibly cheap the install hardware and clutch mechanisms were on these."

"I searched many sites for the right shades. I found that Blinds.com was the fairest in price. When I received them I was impressed with the quality and ease of installation. I LOVE these, they fit my decor perfectly. Not to mention, the outside appearance of the windows are awesome.
Again,
Thanks!

"I ordered on line it was very easy and the direction were understandable. The blinds arrived well with in the time frame they had given and they were as they said. I used the instructions to install them and again no problems. The only negative thing and I don't blame the Blinds.com people but the vinyl smell stays for a week or so.
Outside of that I am very pleased with the blinds and the blinds.com company"

Hard to install, March 14, 2008

Quality:		4 out of 5

"There were NO instructions on how to measure for the brackets! It was trial and error with numerous holes in the wall before the 2 shades were installed.The same bracket measurement did NOT work for the second shade altho both shades were supposed to be identical. Also they taped the center of the shade so tightly (with a notice not to unroll the shade until after it was installed) that the braid on the scalloped trim is now IMPRINTED on to the shade and will not come out despite a hair dryer on low speed applied to the area or anything else we can do. It looks awful & is very noticable ! Also even tho I allowed 3 inches on each side of the outside mounted shade, the sides curl to the center so light comes in big time. Light comes in at the top also. I've had to install drapes to cut down on the light. Won't buy this type of shade again!"

"I ordered vertical blinds in the morning (they had the best prices in the phone book) and by 2 pm they were at my door to install. Installer was polite and nice and product was just what i expected and he cleaned up afterwards. I was so pleased with the service and product i had to call the company and tell them. I wouldn't go anywhere else now."

"Used the online chat to ask a rep questions I had, they were very helpful and friendly and answered all my questions and offered additional tips and advice. Ordered the room darkening shades in black and they look very crisp and clean. Exactly what we wanted for the room. The screws could have been a tiny bit longer my husband said. Installation was quick and painless. Much better quality than the cheap roller blinds you get at discount stores. Received order a full 8 days sooner than we expected even!"

"This entire experience of ordering, shipping and installing was great. I bought black shades that would help keep the bright light out of the bedroom for a day sleeper. As soon as they came in, I immediately installed them and it was a breeze. The quality of the shades was apparent the next day when the day sleeper was able to sleep in a dark bedroom. The quality of these shades is much better than I expected."
