Review on Allesin Cellular Blackout Cordless Darkening by Joy Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good shade, EXCEPT! - Cellular Shades

I replaced the blinds in my bedroom with Allesin Blackout Room blackout blinds. The nuances themselves are great. I would give them 5 stars except they couldn't be hung properly. I have installed many shades in my time. I had to mount curtains with ceiling brackets. There were two problems with the brackets that came with it (see old photo of the bracket), the first problem was that the bracket couldn't be ceiling mounted as it wasn't universal (ceiling or wall mount), it could only be for the wall be used assembly. I added holes so it can be attached to the ceiling. The latch at the attachment point was very poor and didn't hold up well. The dome fell off its mount after being raised or lowered 5 times in the first few weeks after installation. Luckily, shortly after installing the curtains, I replaced some of the old similar curtains I had in my break room. After removing the old braces, I noticed that they match the shades of Allesin. I have replaced the brackets supplied by Allesin and they are holding up great (see photo of the new bracket). So I'm wondering if the manufacturer ever installs the blinds they sell.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost Everything Is Fine
