These blinds are flippin awesome! I do have some expensive ones in my house but I needed these for a games room that's got a projector in to block sun from other side cause it was becoming an issue (that's my excuse for dying so often anyway)I fitted straight on to the wooden door frame itself and the blinds roll down over the glass smoothly blocking the light out just right. The material is good and all in all, compared to the £250 quote I got off the blinds guy.... This is an utter bargain product!

Item arrived. Wrinkled surface in bottom left and hole in bottom centre of blind. Blind itself only measures 206cm across not the 210 advertised or shown on box. Note they do advise that the fabric is about 3.5cm less than the size stated. Be aware when buying.

There were parts included that were not on the instructions. But the worst bit is that there was one part just didn't work as intended. I quote the instructions: "Note that the spring operating pin on the pin side mechanism should be slightly depressed (ideally half way in) when the installation is complete." That pin could not be depressed at at as it was a fixed pin! This meant that I couldn't screw in the pin side bracket fully so I had to put two screws by the side of the bracket to hold it in place. This looks awful but should work. So...for me, this product is not good. It's only because I'm practical that I could make it work.

The blind (cappuccino colour) has a PVC-like feel on the back which provides the blackout feature. Unfortunately, the blind had a soiled mark on the front, but as I needed to cut the blind down to size, this mark was fortunately cut away.The instructions don't cover all the parts in the box and where they fit, makes no mention of how to cut the blind to size, and what instructions are given are poorly articulated. It will help with the installation if you have previous experience of fitting a roller blind and don't need to rely on the instructions provided.Once up, the blind looks good and was also a good price, but with rating stars knocked off because of the issues.

I bought these blinds as it's label said blackout blinds which once I had put them up I discovered that they were as blackout as looking through a pair of net curtains with the the light inside on (looking in from outside obviously)

Bought this product as I wanted a black out blind in a bedroom. I have black out curtains in another room. I ordered white and I suppose I should have known better. Is it black out? no way jose! Also after reading the instructions, be sure to do the opposite because the instructions made no sense because they were backwards. Other than that they work perfectly well and look ok.

Gives you a better idea of the fabric quality and shades, shame they don’t put a sticker on the reverse with the shade and company name in, I ordered from several company’s and couldn’t remember what sample was from who, over priced samples, just the money to cover postage would have been sufficient in my opinion

Arrived a day early, well protected, by courier, with tracking made available via courier website or an app. ETA given on morning of delivery. No problems there. Blinds were as described and good value at my ordered length (240cm), with an aluminium inner roller tube. Cappucino colour was ideal for magnolia walls. Roller brackets allow minor horizontal adjustment, when fitted to a wall face outside a window recess, which helped a lot.Pleased with this purchase. Thanks !
