"I used them, they're great"

"Got it from blinds.com 40" x 72" roller shades for about $110. Price goes up and down based on a lot of variables. Their online custom order tool is pretty easy to use."

"If you want to find a happy medium take a look at https://www.blinds.com/ or check out your local big box store's custom window coverings."

"I have purchased blinds from blinds.com, and I used to work at Lowes in the home decor department."

"Blinds.com. Watch their videos on measuring and you will be good. They do have some sort of guarantee if you mess up."

"Blinds.com (when there’s a sale) worked well for me."

"Home Depot’s Blinds.com is easy to work with. Did right by me."

"Blinds.com. I have a few awful custom size windows that needed blinds and these were pretty reasonably priced and came quickly."

"Blinds.com for sure. I did my whole house, about 5 windows for $500."

"Blinds.com!"

IKEA
