Mainstays 1" Cordless Vinyl Light Filtering Mini Blinds, White, 29" W x 64" L

These blinds have been around for at least 2 decades, and probably much longer. The older ones have pull strings to raise and lower them. These don't have that string. You just push up or pull down at the bottom. Installation is different than the old style. Those had plastic brackets that you screwed on top of the window frame. The brackets had sliding front pieces that secured the blind. The new models use a steel bracket that sits either under or over the blind, and clamps into a channel in the vinyl or plastic frame. They are easier to install. But, if you're replacing the old style, you'll have to completely remove the old brackets, possibly drill new holes and screw them on in vertical alignment on both sides. Then you insert the stick to open and close the slats. Note, that the new stick is incompatible with the old style, which had a steel hook for the stick. The new ones have a piece of plastic coming out the left side, which the stick plugs into via a compression fitting made of plastic. If you break that plastic part, you're S.O.L and will have to buy a new blind, or find a left over stick from a previous replacement when that blind broke. Note %232: Cats tend to destroy these blinds! Other than that, the blinds work fine. You can tilt the slats up or down to control the light, or raise or lower them. They occupy about 5 inches when fully raised (the same size as the box they came in).

My window had blinds when I moved in, but they were dryrotted. I wanted to put in a curtain rod and hang curtains,,, I realized that it would be easier to just hang a new blind, because the bracket was already there. I've decided to move out of state in a few months so didn't want something costly. I bought these because they were the only brand that had the size I needed and was within my price range. These are great! They fit perfectly. I was confused because there is no cord for raising/lowering. No cord for kids or pets to get tangled in! You simply pull down or lift with both hands. If I had more windows I would definitely buy more.

We recently moved into a new home that needed new blinds throughout. Window coverings are so expensive and we already had so many projects taking money and time. We decided to try these, good enough for now kind of thing. So happy we did! They look great and are so cost effective. Easy to use, fit perfectly, do the job. If you don't want to go broke getting new blinds, these are a great option. If you have cats like we do that will likely break them, they don't cost a ton to replace. All good things.

I really like the blinds except for one fact I ordered White and I'm trying to figure out. Why did they come a little darker than White? They came almost Beach but other than that it was very easy to install if I'm 75 and I could install it myself that's very easy.

I have 48 windows. Count 'em. 48. I have had to mostly make all my curtains and drapes, because I am on SS and that doesn't allow for much high-end treatments, but I like to sew. When I first bought this old historic relic, it had the old-style roll up shades on every window and I found lots of discounted fabrics at Walmart, some as low as $1 per yard, and made fabulous curtains to hand in front of the shades, but eventually, the shades wore out and had to come down. I then repplaced the ones in the dining room (6 windows) and living room (7) with the 2" plantation blinds, and they were perfect. They fit the style for the age of this house, which has forty six 32" x 65" windows and two 24" x 45". But I couldn't afford those on all 48, so the 2 rooms that had them still equaled almost $400. I now have to replace those, as the cords have worn thin, some are frayed, 2 are broken abd the blinds can no longer be raised or lowered, as they are starting to come off the cords now.Boy, I should have planned for this a decade ago! The price of the heavier 2" blinds are off the scale! So when I found these mini blinds at this price, I ordered a couple for the two smaller windows in the bathrooms, and WOW! So pleased to find they are not cheap looking or flimsy, and unless you inspect them up close or feel them, you don't know if they are vinyl or metal, and they look absolutely fine! I was able to acquire enough for all 48 windows, such an upgrade even (especialy) from the outside. Every widow is uniformly dressed. I have comlete privacy when they are closed. They are not room-darkening, but tone even the brightest summer sun down to a cool shade tree light-level.These are one of my BEST finds and best buys at Walmart to date, simply due to their price and the quantity I needed, and having them all in stock. GOOD ON YOU WALMART! Thank you

In the first of the 3 I bought recently one was broken . that was not all when I went to open it the blind broke to pieces. And all 3 are hard to turn to open %26 close. One of them when lifted droops to one side. I had bought the same type several years ago with no problems but will not buy these again. I gave it a 3 star only because they do cover the windows.

I ordered 4 of the same blinds. 3 were new, but 1 had extra tape on it, which was my 1st sign. After getting it out the box, I noticed it was missing the end cap. I was going to accept that, but once I mounted it and pulled down on the blind, I saw a 10” piece of 1 of the 1” slats was broken, and completely missing. Now I have e to make another trip to the store and hope they have another 1 in stock.

These blinds can not even handle being opened one time. The first day they were hung, we opened them and they immediately began to crumble. If you so much as walk by the window, another piece falls off. I understand they were $7, but the quality is nonexistent. Absolutely junk.

They aren't white! They are a pinkish beige. It's obvious from the stark white carton. They're wrapped in that. The product inside is actually blush not white! So here I am in a new house short one set of blinds. I go to Walmart find what I need and I actually pay to have it delivered within 3 hours. Imagine my frustration when I look at it, open it up and the product is not white! Customer chat said they'll be happy to give me a refund when I return the product to the store. So what was the sense in all of this craziness when now I have to go to the store anyway! Complete waste of my time and money. I will never shop at Walmart again.

It literally crumbles to pieces with barely any use. Meaning it just hangs on my window and every once in a while I go to lift a slat to look out and the piece breaks. If you promise to never ever touch it again once you hang it, it'll serve the purpose of a window cover. lol
