Thank you so much! We're ecstatic that you're enjoying your shades and we loved hearing your story via an expert critique! This will no doubt help people realize how easy it is to D.I.Y. your own window treatments! You guys are rock stars!
Thanks for checking it out!
i'm definitely checking them out
Great info and review Christina- I like your new side kick too. He is funny, cute and quite a handyman!
Awesome review! I'll check them out because I need new blinds in a couple of our bedrooms. Thanks.
Thanks for the review! I was on the fence about selectblinds but I'm going to give them a shot now.
I am looking for blinds for my 17 windows and your video was great. Thanks
Thank you so much! I have received my samples and had wondered about the quality and ease of installation. Your video answered all of my questions!!!
Glad it was helpful! 3 years later and they're still holding up great.
Thank you for the review. We looked at Lowe's they were outrageous! Then we found out about select blinds gonna go with them👍 Thank you!☺️
Awesome. Thanks for watching.
Great review! You guys are the cutest.
I just placed my order a week ago and will be getting mine this week. Never heard of them nor no anyone that have bought from select blinds. I’m glad I came across your channel b/c I was getting worried what if it’s not legit. Now I feel a little at ease 🤞🏼 Thank you for the reviews!

Your husband is a trooper! LOL Thank you so much for the review. We are waiting for out samples.
Amazing video, got quotes today from Home Depot that were way higher then we were expecting so going to try out Select! Question for you guys, with the faux wood was there an option for a valance to cover the top of the blinds?
This was super helpful! We have a new build and had a local company come give us a quote that was almost $7,000 for 17 windows!!! We looked into Select Blinds and this makes me feel 100% better about doing it ourselves. Thanks for the review!
We’ve received a quote of $14,000 for 12 windows 😮
Woohoo! I think I’m your subscriber 200,000!! Thanks for your video on installation of blinds! I had the volume up nice and loud SO MY HUSBAND COULD HEAR! 😉
I love the blinds behind you in the video. What color is that? Also are they outside one big blind?
I've been putting off buying blinds for my main living room, but you've inspired me to check out Select Blinds. It's time!!!
Awesome video, right after that, I went to select blinds and order some samples, thank you for your feedback 🙇🙌
Thanks for the detailed review. You seem to have covered everything. I've already received 'swatches' from Select Blinds and am about to order a couple of top/bottom blinds for our bedroom. A little 'nervous' about the installation since those are the hardest ones to install, according to you, but... going for it!
Only the hardest because he needed to measure and mark where to drill the holes, where as the other ones he just put the brackets up in the corners.. Still super easy. You got it!
Thanks, this was a really helpful video. Do you know where on select blinds website is information about what is meant by flush inside mount? I get the whole inside mount minimum requirement, but what is meant by ‘flush’ inside mount?
You guys are so fun to watch! You made me laugh and Ioved your down-to-earth approach. You talk to your audience as if they were an old friend. Well done!
Thanks for the review. I'm replacing the cheap quality blinds the home builder installed and got quotes from 2 local blind companies near me and they're crazy expensive for what I want.
I just want 2 window treatments replaced, 1 is a simple roller blackout shade and the other window, I would like plantation shutters. The company locally quoted me $3500 for both.( not gonna happen) the other was $2800 (again not gonna happen) I called select blinds today and they're sending out samples and quoted me UNDER $1K for both, now all I need is to hire a handyman to install them for me.
Awesome video thanks! I've been considering ordering from select blinds. I'll be ordering from them since it's reasonably priced.
Good choice!
Christina I love your blinds! The woven ones could I ask the colour name? They are exactly what I’m looking for
Great video...we are moving into a new house and this really helped. also..dead ringer for Robert De Niro!
Can you go into any more detail on why you needed those nice paper blinds for the first floor bedroom?
Thank you! Getting ready to order shades :)
Nice! I hope you like them.
We have ordered blinds for 6 windows. One shade had a slight wrinkle, and would not adjust properly. Select blinds was very helpful in trying get it adjusted. That did not work, they replaced it very quickly. We are ordering 3 -8'x 5' windows this week, considering the motorized option. Are you still liking these?
Super helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for this. The ending so cute lol
Thank you for sharing this! It was very helpful.
You are so welcome!
Hello! Christina and hubby. I just happen to be looking for blinds and you pop-up. I had followers your furniture painting and was surprised to see you. Hope all is well. Thank you for the information. I love your choose of color. ❤
That is awesome! This was a fun one to do with my hubby way back in the day. And thanks for following my furniture flipping adventures!
Sorry for all the questions but I have just 2 more if you don't mind 😊
I noticed you didn't get a liner done on the backaide of the wooden blinds and you didn't get the protective part along the edges. Do they still block the blinding sun in those few hours of the day that the sun is blaring into the house without the liner? And how are the edges holding up? Are they fraying at all? Thank you so much!
How are the faux wood blinds holding up? Please let us know, I am thinking of ordering them.
Hey all. I know this video was from 3 years ago. How are the blinds holding up? We're looking at the same wood blinds with the 'lift & lock' technology ( ie, they lift without a cord). How are those holding up? Are you having any issues with them? Thanks so much!
Great info! Can you tell me which shade/color is on the windows behind you guys, trying to decide which to order. Thanks so much!
Premier Woven Wood Shades - Boxelder
Glad you're enjoying yours. I want to throw mine away. SO frustrating from improper install instructions to pairing the remote.
i am debating whether i should get my product from select blinds which is $200 for a window or amazon $90
Thanks for this review, we are sold!
Thank you for this!!
You're so welcome!
Hey I am reaching out to see if you all still like these blinds? Have they held up after 2 years? I really appreciate this thorough video.
Sorry, just seeing this comment. It's now been almost 3 years and they're holding up great!
How are they holding up?! I’m about to order in a week or 2 and would love an update! Thanks
Holding up great! Still happy with our choices!
I know this isn’t sponsored, but it should be! I’m really considering purchasing based on your review! Thank you
Oh wow! Thanks Peyton. We couldn't find a video review when we wanted to purchase, so we thought this would help people out. We are still loving our blinds and they are holding up great!
Thanks for the review. I have the blinds for my non standard sized window in my cart right now. I just wanted to confirm that the site is legit before making the purchase. I'm so glad to hear that the installation is easy. I can't wait to get them and replace my current broken, lopsided blind.
Thanks for watching. Yes, the site is legit and we've been really happy with our blinds.
That's too funny- i was actually JUST checking out this site today. We just moved into a house that has no blinds either. My question is: we have a few really large (really wide) windows.. what do you do in that case? Do they make blinds that go that wide?
Over a certain width, I think they recommend splitting it into multiple shades. There are instructions on how to measure for that. We have a bay of three windows in one opening. We did three separate shades for that and it looks great.
Hi, Elissa! Depending on the product we can go anywhere from 96" - 120" wide with our window shades. You can also do two, or three in one window opening. We would just need to work with you to get them as close as possible to each other to prevent light gaps. Feel free to email customercare@selectblinds.com, chat with us on our site or call us at 888-257-1840 if you have any questions!
@@SelectBlinds Okay, yeah our window is 95" wide. What style of blinds come that wide? i'd rather not have to deal with putting multiple blinds up in one window..
Thank you for sharing your experiences from blind shopping to installation!
Are you still happy with these after 4 years? How did they hold up?
Do they have motorized ones
You guys are so damn cute. I've been overwhelmed by the choices. Plus, single dude here needs some help! Thanks for this.
Happy would could help. We’ve had these in over a year and we still love them.
How much was the price difference
Still like them? On a scale 1-5 ( 5 being you'd but again and highly recommend).
5
Yeah, it definitely pays to talk to someone. I was dealing with another major blind company, with the same type of business model. I went to their site, shopped and then called about a measuring question. They attacked me with an offsite "sales rep." but he knocked 50% off the website price, without even haggling.
Hi! I'm kinda new to your channel. This video was really informative. We are in the market for new blinds, so thank you!
I'm a mom who loves to paint furniture. I just wanted to say your hubby reminds me of a famous actor but I can't remember who it is. Does anyone ever say he looks famous? Lol 🤔
Thanks for being here! I’ll have to show this to my hubby. He will love your comment! 😂 He doesn’t get a specific actor, but I do think he is handsome. 😉
@@ChristinaMuscari yes he is! Look up Jon Hamm from the show Mad Men. I hope he takes this as a compliment. Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
I bought select blinds and they're great and easy to install
Awesome!
Total cost for your house ????
Great video thank you!
Glad you liked it!
@@ChristinaMuscari ❤❤😁I sure did.
Cost ???
Thanks for the video and the tip on leaving items in the cart. As far as DIY goes, this is pretty easy.
Like clockwork, a sales agent called me NBD on the cart I saved and was able to knock off even more of the price. It was a 40 piece order on their mid-tier roller shades, so ymmv, but it's for sure better than other retail prices.
We just bought blinds from them and wanted to see if you were still happy with them? I've just seen only bad reviews and got worried after I placed my 800.00 order!
Zero complaints so far. We've had them up for over a year and not one problem.
@@ChristinaMuscari how are your woven shades holding up?
We want to install some shutters. But I'm nervous to install it ourselves. 😳
You can do it!
Are you in Canada?
No. Tennessee in USA!
Nice job
How did you get 28 blinds for $2000?! Im pricing out just 6 windows (1 being super tiny) and I'm already over $3000 from this company.
Discount codes. I even left stuff in my cart and they emailed another discount when I never hit checkout.
@@ChristinaMuscari thanks for the reply!! do you remember where you found discount codes?
the biggest torture is finding the right colour. has ANYONE matched CC40, Benjamin Moore Cloud White to any of their honeycomb blind lines? The samples for ones that look like they MIGHT work are all out of stock
2:10 ....is my life right now. I don’t trust my husband putting any kind of holes in our brand new home 😩😂😂😂
Haha! It is a risky move- but it proved to be worth it for us!
Recently purchased blinds for our home, primarily based on this review. It took several months to receive our order, with additional delays. Considering COVID I let that slide However we received one shade that arrived broken. It has been an absolute horrible experience getting that shade replaced. After numerous rude emails and calls to service where they continue to say they've not received video after numerous attempts from different devices. I couldn't even get the same discount to replace and pay for their defective shade myself. The remaining shades are nice and easy to install. But beware you could be stuck like us and pay for shades that arrived broken. To top it off the rude and condescending customer service was the icing on the cake. Super disappointed.
I'm sorry you had that experience. This was a totally honest review from us. We didn't get paid for it, nor did we get any discount on our product or talk to them about this video.
"Should we make out now?" 😂
We ordered a skylight shade. It took 3 months to arrive, and then the next 3 months were spent going back and forth with them continually sending the wrong mounting hardware. I have requested a refund. I would not recommend the company.
That's a bummer. We had two broken shades as I mentioned, but they replaced them with no issue.
You know for years I had wanted to order those kinds of shades, when we brought the house about 20 years ago, we did the same thing, had different vendors come to the house and give us the spree!... I was shocked on all the different prices.. so we put it off and I went by mini blinds from Home depot. the windows in the livingroom.. were very high.. I had catherals ceilings.. and the windows ( 4 ) of them were round up on the top. I ended up just ordering them about 25 inches from the top down and leaving that part uncovered... until I had a friend make special curtains that I put on permanantly ... The cost was over 4000. 00 dollars. after that I was never happy... we lived there for a few years and then sold house. since then we have been living in rent places, and well.. never really thought about it again. we have been thinking about buying a house. Since then we have moved to another state .. so this is going to be the final place, since hubby is now retired.. We will definitely keep this info because I want to try again. Thank you for the information, it definitely was very informative and covered everything you need to know~
Do it! It was so easy. We went 2 years without shades in our last house, and I'm kicking myself now.
Just purchased blinds from them. Unfortunately my daughter got the sheer shades which are motorized. 😢 Will never purchase any blinds from them again. To make a long story short everything went fine. All the measuring etc. They are horrible when it comes to getting help with the remote. No one to talk to who knows what is going on. Just a printout with all you have already done. She paid over $900 for one blind and this remote doesn’t work. For hours we looked at CZcams for anyone to help. There People Are Bad. Blinds won’t go up or down. Just stuck in the down position.
900$ for a blind? Crazy. I got 5 bamboo blinds for less than 400$.
Poor quality control, and they do not stand behind their products. Warranty is not worth the paper it is written on.
I'm sorry you've had a bad experience. Ours are holding up well and we like them.
ugh
Totally should make out
Do not use Select Blinds, they are the WORST!
We had a good experience and sorry it sounds like you didn't.
