CHICOLOGY Blinds for Windows, Mini Blinds, Window Blinds, Door Blinds, Blinds & Shades, Camper Blinds, Horizontal Window Blinds, White (Commercial Grade), 42" W x 48" H

These blinds are your standard cheap plastic mini blinds. We do not have them in a high traffic area—just an area we needed privacy on the window, which they do provide. We do appreciate that they’re cordless. They do darken the room slightly. Easy install.

I've bought about a dozen of these Chicoligy blinds over the years for different window applications. The 8 I recently bought were of the same good quality for the price as in the past.Several key points:. The blinds are a .5 inch less then the indicated width (ex. 24" wide is actually 23.5", 48" wide is 47.5" wide, and so on.) This has worked well for all my applications. If you plan to mount these between the verticals of the window, keep that in mind. Mounting is really easy if you use this method and if you mount to the outer face of the window. Just predrill and use the 2 screws for each bracket.When you lower the blind to cover your window they do initially look a little crooked left to right. But it fixes itself easily if you just pull down on the left or right side, whichever side appears higher. They even out. Then you can just raise and lower them from the center going forward. Mine were pretty consistently about a quarter inch high on the left side initially when lowered. So I lowered them by holding the left side to even them out. They always seem to retain the level once set.These do come with the bottom hold down brackets to hold the ends in place if you want to keep them always lowered and just want to close and open the slats. I don't use them, but they seem like they'll do the trick. I've never had a problem with the wand or mechanism used for opening/closing the slats.These come with a one year warranty and you can get replacement parts by contacting them. Instructions don't really say how to do that but it looks like the chicology.com website has all the information.Overall I'm happy with these and will continue to look for the Chicology brand if I need more. (I have no personal affiliation with the brand whatsoever.)

so i ordered these not expecting much. I ordered 42" as i wanted to cover the entire window and not install them inside the window frame and have that small gap on either side we are all to familiar with. Could not beat the price. i was expecting low quality for the price of 18.00, HOWEVER what i received actually surpassed my expectations. Pretty decent quality to be honest. Individual blades are a bit thinner then the ones you would buy in the box stores but not a deal breaker for me as they are still acceptable thickness. Anyone who has installed blinds knows that aggravating struggles some can be. Installing these blinds took all of 10 minutes.Functionality they work exactly as expected with no issues.They raise and lower smoothly.Opening and closing the blinds, they open even more smoothly.That was actually a shock to me. What i DID NOT LIKE: Opening the box and removing the blinds the entire back of the mounting track is scuffed with black marks. Now this is normal for packaging and can usually be wiped off, Not in this case. It looks as if a couple of employees decided to slide these back and forth across the floor in some warehouse game of my turn. Thankfully the scuffs where on the backside and once installed it could not be viewed. Even at a low price it is expected to receive a product that is not covered in uncleanable black scuffs or what looks like wear and tear on a brand new item. The mounting screws that accompany the installation kit is NOT an anchor kit so make sure you are either screwing into the inside of a window frame or to a wall stud if you are covering the entire window, do not install these above the window as i did and if you are make sure you have anchors Overall: I really am please with these and will be buying quite a few more in the next few weeks. The weight and quality and i have no doubts these will last a few years. Keep in mind mileage may vary, I can see these wearing within a year or two for household that have children. WELL worth the 18.00 price tag.

Absolutely love them , they’re perfect for what I needed them for !!!!

Nice looking and easy to install, but beware it will likely protrude out from window frame. A typical window jamb 1.5" (the depth of the inside of your window frame). This product requires two inches and thus will likely protrude out about a 1/2". For most, that would not be an issue. I have a blackout roller blind in in front of this that goes over the entire window outside frame. Therefore the blackout blind now is pushed away from the window into the room by 1/2" letting light in. Again, not a problem if you are just using the blinds and curtains on an outside rail.
