Details: From one picky person to another

Overall impression: I bought 7 of these blinds, all the same size 39x64. I am very happy with her looks. But if you're a picky person, here are a few details that may sway your decision. If you are a very picky perfectionist then these blinds are probably not for you.1. The color is beautiful, bright white. This is a natural product, so reeds of various sizes let in lots of light. The headers/flaps are of different lengths, but I'm going to hemm one edge by gluing them to match - that's an easy fix. Only one in seven is really long. The rest differs by 1/4 inch or so. Again, a natural product is not perfect.3. A curtain sags on one side. I'm just swapping places with someone else. They all work well, gently pulling and pushing up or down. You have to reach out to grab the bar, but after you've done this a few times you'll understand how they work. Most of the installation was done by one person. He just needed an extra arm supporting the blinds/flap to tighten the wing nuts. I pointed out the screw stripping/cutting checks to him and he pre-drilled the holes in several places. The blinds were surprisingly heavy.5. One curtain had torn seams (see photo) on the canopy. But it kind of merges, but I can switch places in this one too. 6. If you look at blinds from the outside in, you can definitely see through them. This is NOT a privacy/blackout blind. More like a heavily patterned sheer fabric.7. Some blinds have a gap at the top through which you can see the wooden part of the bracket (see photo). Five of the seven window fittings are at eye level. I plan to use a white paint marker and fade it out - easy to work out. I wish they were bigger so my picture window would match the rest of the house. I had to order 75 inch blinds from another company. I also really like these blinds. This is a natural product, so there are flaws, but they are easy to fix. I would buy them again.
