LANTIME Wood Window Roman Shades, Lined Blackout Bamboo Roman Shades Blinds, Easy Installation for Home and Garden, Beige

TLDR: Great quality, great customer service, great price, will likely be purchasing from Lantime again for other windows!I have an old house, and like most people I can't afford an entire kitchen remodel. But I wanted to update my kitchen and not use builder grade boring honey comb blinds. More than that though, I wanted blinds WITH A CORD that I could actually reach and lift more than halfway open - truly a challenge these days, especially if you don't want to waste a ton of money on slow, loud mechanized lift features.Quality:The blinds themselves are great quality - they were the exact length/width I requested (very important for inside window case mounting!), and the build quality far exceeded my expectations for the price. The shades open smoothly, and are likely fully blackout if you don't use inside mounting (inside-mounted blinds will always have a gap of light). I live in a city and I was concerned about the shades being too transparent to outsiders at night - this is thankfully not a concern at all with the blackout option I chose.Mounting:I mounted each blind myself without help, but honestly it would have been much easier with two people. Especially if you have a long shade, you might actually need two people just to support both sides. That said, the shades are actually quite light and easy to maneuver around. The mounting holes are quite wide so it's very easy to maneuver the mounting screw & washer into the right spot - gives you some wiggle room as well in case you need to move the shade slightly left or right. I used the provided mounting hardware - two small brackets - and used my own longer woodscrews, as I was attaching these to the inside of my wooden window casings. Due to the awkward (old, slightly janky) depth of my windows, I was only able to use 2 screws on each side - the bracket allows for 4 into the upper casing, which I'd certainly recommend if you have the space. That said, these blinds are again quite light so I feel very confident that there won't be issues.Customer service:One of the three shades I ordered did have a minor part issue - I contacted the seller and they immediately sent an actual video of how to quickly pop the piece back into place, which resolved the issue instantly. Throughout the whole process they answered all of my questions (frankly too many lol), and just made the whole experience of ordering blinds sight-unseen as stress free as possible. They have samples available for purchase by the way - offered upon asking, and they send ALL of their shade options! And it's not just a few - check the size of the sample box in my pics - I even picked a color that wasn't my original preference, a brand new design they didn't even have pics for yet! Probably the best customer service I've gotten on Amazon, period (including most places outside of Amazon as well to be honest!).I shopped around for a LOT of shades and blinds options on and off Amazon. I did have specific needs - corded was a must - but I am so happy with Lantime's product, and so happy that I can now fully open my beautiful and unique shades!

We are super happy with these window shades. They fit perfectly, so perfectly that at first sight I thought they would be too big, but they exactly cover the entire width of our window. Installing them was pretty easy. They help block sunlight in our southwest-facing kitchen. Also, the design is quite beautiful. The only improvement I could think of is that if the lining where white, it might help to reflect more sunlight.

Took a gamble ordering these and WOW are they great! They arrived well packaged, instructions were clear, cordless feature works well, and they fit the window perfectly. Color is spot on and they are truly black out - perfect for my nursery.

excellent customer service and great quality

Quality is right!

Ordered these shades for the entirety of my downstairs. I did the light filtering,push pull shades.Pros: well made. Real wood and heavy. Good for the price. They did attach the bamboo to the wood with hot glue...but honestly I don't know how else they would do it. All of my pieces looked exactly the same and came in excellent shape. The measurements were all perfect. I am by no means a contractor but I got all my blinds up easily. I found that the inside mount was easier than outside mount, but that's just because I didn't have to deal with studs - not a shade issue. I also attached the shades to arched windows (which you use only halfway up the window), and while they do not provide specific instructions for this type of window, the brackets work either way as long as your window isn't super wide, requiring a center mount in addition to the side mounts.Cons: one of my blinds was quite large and had a center hole that needed to be screwed into the top window frame. Turns out, they put the motor right where the hole was! So I couldn't fit the wingnut to secure it (the motor was blocking the hole...see attached photo) I just went to the hardware store and got a non-winged nut that fit and secured it that way.I also asked them for end caps for my outside mount windows after my initial shipment and they assured me they would send some, but didn't.Finally, the screws and hardware were good quality and came with a pack of extras...but NEVER use the crappy anchors these companies provide you - that's just my rule of thumb for anything I have sent to me...you'll need to buy your own if you can't hit a stud.All in all, I would recommend them as long as you know what to be prepared for!

Look expensive at a lower cost! High quality, good fit, provide perfect coverage and I opted for lightly lined. Ask for samples if unsure of color.

Wonderful customer service! The company called me to ask if they could send one to see if we liked the color and fit. After we received the first one and loved the color, the rest of the order was completed and shipped. Installation was easy. I ordered the blackout lining and the bedrooms stay nice and dark. I have had them for over a year and the quality is amazing.
