Wooden blinds have a tendency to warp and are usually more expensive that other traditional types of blinds. Wood blinds are heavier as well and require more frequent cleaning due to attracting more dust. Wood blinds also need to be oil treated and they absorb as well as release more moisture so its not good to install them in moist or high humidity areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, etc.
