US Window And Floor 2" Faux Wood 30.5" W x 60" H, Inside Mount Cordless Blinds, 30.5 x 60, White, CLF0103040600

These blinds are sturdy, cords that bind blinds together appear strong, and blind slats are thick. No tearing of blinds reaching through to unlock windows. These are not black out blinds but do block excess sun/heat of the morning to mid day summer sun. Will work well for plants that need strong but diffuse sunshine.This is true for all blinds without cords that I have used, they are not easy to pull down. While they appear nice, less cluttered, I will purchase with cords in the future. Those with better upper body strength may not find this an issue.

Arrived undamaged, even though packaging had a hole damage from shipping, product was well protected and easy to install, looks great!

I ordered 21 blinds. 18 of 1 size & 3 others for various sizes (kitchen window, back door and attic window). Only 2 out of the order were damaged so considering all the comments about damage I guess I did pretty good. Every box also had all hardware, screws and brackets needed to install.Pros:1) The blinds “look” like high end blinds. Your friends will never know they aren’t.2) The lift up and pull down feels good on all units and holds the weight of the blinds at any height.3) Easy to install - inside mount is just 3 screws per bracket and then pop the blinds in and mount the valence and rod.Cons:1) Prepare yourself mentally (not that this is actually possible) for the smell that will overtake your nose when you open the box. The blinds are “odor-free” but there is a horrific smell at the start that will go away in about an hour or so. I work in plastics extrusion and have kids… this smelled horrible.2) 1 of 18 - the twist rod wouldn’t open or close (not up or down but the angle of the blades) the blinds. I found that the little metal bar wasn’t pushed through the twist “screw” part at top left of unit. I was able to fix easily but had to take the blind back down to do it.3) 1 of 18 - the blinds wouldn’t close all the way down (not up or down but the angle of the blades). 1 of the strings in the middle was too tight. I had to adjust the little metal clamp on the top end of this string to allow blinds to close fully. Not hard to do but was a little tedious due to small parts. Also had to take this blind down to adjust several times.4) Almost all of the valences had some kind of very dirty greasy looking small spots on them that was very difficult to clean off. I ended up hitting a few of them with furniture touch up paint to cover some of the spots I couldn’t get off completely.5) my windows are about 1/2 inch wider than the blinds - the valence doesn’t completely cover the top mount bracket due to this but that’s just me being picky.Time saving tips (after having installed 21 of these):1) open the boxes outside or in the garage - run away quickly for about 20 mins to avoid nausea2) before starting to install fully inspect all pieces and parts to ensure nothing is damaged - make sure no metal is bent, make sure the small metal shaft in the top is going through everything up there, make sure the end brackets (plastic clips on each end at bottom and metal a-frame looking thing on each end at top) are snapped in place correctly3) if you’re doing inside mount don’t waste your time trying to level and measure the placement of the brackets - just put it up against the top of the window opening and pull it flush to the front and mark the holes.4) Pre drill the screw holes if you have any kind of drill. I used a 3/32 drill bit which is smaller than the screws. It makes it a lot easier to get the screws in.

My kittens had shredded the mini blinds in my living room. These are great. Very sturdy and well made. Kittens are not even attracted to them. Love them very much wish I had purchased sooner

Easy to install, perfect fit and made well.

My only complaint is that the cut steel, which is hidden and never needs to be touched, is not cleaned off burrs. I knicked my finger when grabbing everything out of the box.I received it today and installed it.If my terror of a child can break this over, I'll update the sturdiness rating.

I purchased a set of these for our dining room. When I unpackaged them, the top frame was slightly bent in one place (looked like during the manufacturing process, not a shipping damage), but no one would see it once it was up, and it was not serious enough to return it.Once I got the side braces mounted, I mounted the center brace directly in the center of the window. When I tried to slide the blinds into all three braces, they didn't match up (I didn't have the side braces touching the top of the window frame, partly because of the bracket covers that raise and close to hold the blinds inside the braces). Plus, putting the one center brace they supplied me with directly in the center of the window makes it so that it runs right into the center string. So, I left the center brace off, because I didn't want to take out all my side screws and move them 1/8 of an inch, and it still seems very sturdy when I pull on the blinds.Another disappointing aspect of these, and maybe there's an adjustable feature I don't know about that US Window can enlighten me with, but when the blinds are all the way down, they are uneven (see the last 2 pictures). No matter how I pull and push from the bottom, they don't lay flat.The top valance looks nice and puts on that polished, finishing touch, but I feel it should've been slightly longer (see pic 5). When I ordered them, I followed their measuring requirements, but feel the valance leaves a slight gap.But none of this is enough for me not to recommend them. They look great, and are fairly easy to install. The panels are smooth and clean-looking. When closed, light still seeps in a bit (2nd photo) but blocks out a good chunk. Nothing's perfect, and these are all minor complaints that don't take away from the beauty of the finished, affordable product.

White valance doesn't cover metal bar. Metal bar is too short for brackets. Installing was a nightmare and one of my slats has a chip missing. Not returning to hard to take down and put another one up. They look ok, but I was also a little upset over the color. They are an off white. They look like a cream color compared to my bright white walls. The picture on their website is the exact color. Just so everyone knows.

Looks great, perfect fit, and the wand to open/close the blinds work well.Lifting the blinds up or down takes a lot of effort though which is a bit annoying. Very stiff, need both hands with a firm pull to get them down and firm again raising. Got 70" wide blinds so maybe smaller blinds would be easier to move up and down.Edit: too hard to move the blinds up and down. Have just left them up now and using curtains instead.

Actually look really nice shdn up BUT They are NOT FAUX WOOD at all , just thicker plastic slats, the faux wood actually has grooves in the slats like wood would and feels like wood........ super easy to install I did outside mount, lift easily with both hands and come down nice too.. truthfully walmart has better quality faux wood blinds like all my other ones just are low on 48inch blinds... price wise yes worth it

We bought 5 of these blinds, and 1 was missing the mounting brackets. That blind & valance cover were not in a plastic packaging inside the box as the other 4 were (and was also missing the hardware package), so I'm assuming it had been returned but not properly inspected. We were unable to contact the seller through our amazon account as it had been delivered successfully (and we didn't want to return it), so we ended up buying replacement brackets for about $17 ourself. Other than that, we are happy with them. We believe we will be able to shorten the blinds to match our window height, but no instructions are included for that so we will have to be careful. It takes a bit of work to raise & lower the blinds, and turn the slats, but they are functional.

High quality, durable, and luxurious looking. Perfect fit for our window. Pulls down and pushes up in a breeze. Will be purchasing another in the near future for another bedroom in our house. Thanks again for the super product and shipping!!
