Mainstays 1 in. Cordless, Room Darkening Vinyl Blind, Gray, 35"W x 48"L

These blinds are easy to install, looks very stylish and does exactly as the product description! I would highly recommend if your thinking of adding blinds to your window. They raise and lower by simply pushing up or pulling down. These blinds darken the room very nicely making it a comfortable experience for bedroom guests. Very easy to install as well, took only 5 minutes to install 2 blinds on the inside of the windows.

When you buy the blinds as a 2 pack you get a discounted price. These are great quality mini blinds with the cordless system to raise and lower them. You can shorten them if you do not untie or cut the lifting cords! You have to pull out the plastic buttons from the bottom rail but leave the lifting cords attached. Then snip off the slats you don't want at the bottom so you have only the ladder cords empty. Then you leave one ladder where you want the bottom rail to sit on. Cut the extra ladder but leave 2 extra ladders under the one you want the bottom rail to sit on. Cut the 2 extra ladder strings leave the one for the rail to sit on. Then you carefully pull the lift cords down and angle the rail and insert it into the ladder one side at a time. Tuck extra ladder string into the hole on bottom and push the plastic plug into the hole. Now you just made your own custom length blind for a fraction of the price of ordering them from a blind store!

I was pleased with the blinds. What I wasn't pleased about was that 3 out of the 4 blinds arrived completely broken. I know that Walmart is not responsible for the damage done by the freight carrier. but I was unable to get a refund, was shuffled around and then rudely told to call Walmart, she couldn't help me.

The slats broke after a month. I was looking out the slat to see out the window and the string cut the slat where it holds it. One slat broke so I taped it to the one above and then that slat broke. The blinds are very thin vinyl so they would have broke sooner or later. If you are not going to move the blinds and keep them stationary then they are a good price and deal. Also, I used them for a door window which worked well because they are very light. However trying to put them on, I read the instructions and somehow put them on backwards and had to unscrew them and screw it on the opposite of what they said in the picture.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS JUNK!!! I cannot believe these have such high ratings. These are cheap and the mounting brackets aren't even the correct size and broke the at the top and almost poked my eye when trying to install and the side piece popped off and flew across the room. RETURNING! I'M SO UPSET I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE! OFF YOU PURCHASE MAKE SURE YOU TEST THE BRACKETS TO THE TOP OF THE BLIND BEFORE SCREWING THEM IN THE WALL!!! NOTHING BUT A WASTE OF TIME AND FRUSTRATION!!!

after hanging the blinds, I noticed that one side sags and when I tried to take the blinds down to see the problem, It would not come off. Now I have blinds that sag, can't open so they have to stay closed. very disappointed.

First of all. It says 30” wide, but in small print it says “actually 29.5” Well why in small print? I did not see that until I got 20 miles home. Then I went ahead and put it up. First time I lifted up, I USED both hands and lifted to top, the right side would not go all the way up, just the left side. I called the number and asked if I could fix it. He said try pulling all the way down and then up. ( It made it worse) “He said must be a manufacturer malfunction. Sorry.” Oh ok thanks for making it right. Looks worse in person. Pics show left side up to top. Right side, as far as it will go.

The suspension strings are way too light and the small Ferrule that secures the end of the string (on top) has already "Pulled through" the socket portion. These may be inexpensive, but there's a reason for the pricing. I'll move up a couple steps on the Quality scale in the future. Yep.... you get what you pay for. These were for a rental home and I suspect they won't survive 6 months. Move on %26 Move up

These used to be a great, affordable go to for a window covering. Now they are so thin the slightest knock will break the slates. Ive raised or lowered and slates just fall out. Its mind blowing. There is no way they are vinyl. They feel like thin cardboard coated in something. I put these in 5 windows, only one is not falling apart and its bc it never worked to begin with so we dont lift it. Do not waste your money.

I've been buying walmart blinds for many years, and these were the flimsiest ones yet. They must really be saving money on production, because they kept breaking off and then were difficult to pull down or up, probably due to the broken slats. I would only recommend these blinds IF they were going to be used in a room where you never pulled them up or down, or basically touched them at all.
