Versailles Two-Tone Bamboo Roman Shade - 24x48"

I got two of the 24 inch wide in fruitwood for some exterior door windows, nice color, but it was frustrating to hang them as the wood slats get in the way.I finally got them up and love the look!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and attactiveness of the shades. Neither the photo in the catalog, nor the one online did justice to the product. The shades hung in less than 15 minutes. I would recommend for those hanging the shades that they tweak the clasp on the mounting bracket up a bit before trying to close it. Otherwise the clasp sticks against the shades. The clasp, following installation, can then be pushed down to rest flush against the shade.

While the blinds were very attractive, they were nearly impossible to hang--my husband had to modify the hardware because the valance is in the way. As a result the bamboo all cracked around the screws under the valance, and I am afraid at some point they well fall apart because of this. I would say save your money unless the company modifies the hardware.

I shortened it by 9 inches to make an exact fit for my window. The result is beautiful.

These blinds are exactly what I had been looking for for my porch/dining room/kitchen. We enclosed our front porch using 11 windows to keep it looking like a porch but able to use it year round. When I could find these blinds they were very expensive and had to be special ordered. I got what I wanted for a fraction of the price. Great price and product!
