They are great, a little expensive, but they look good. Hint: If you do purchase and install them, have the family trained (from the begining) that if you raise the blinds it is a two hand operation; This is why... the blinds are heavy and the cords will break, use one hand to pull the cord and the other to support the weight of the blinds, as you raise them. Good Luck! They will look great!
