From beginning to end, ordering these blinds was a wonderful experience. The blinds are beautiful, were easy to install, and easy to order.
They shipped quickly - within a couple of weeks of order - and arrived quickly. The product was just like described on the website. I can't comment as to colour accuracy, as I did not get samples (I like to live on the edge?) beforehand. They arrived and to me the colour is perfect, and what I expected from the website.
The Blackout 1/2" double cell blinds I got really do blackout the room.
It was very easy to install the blinds, took about 15-30 minutes per set. Once we installed the first set, the others were super easy.
When I had a question about my order, I used the online chat box, and the agent was extremely helpful.
The price of these blinds was about a fourth of what we were quoted through a "designer blind" installer - now you won't get the exact same quality blind as the big names, but I honestly can't tell the difference, and the blinds from select blinds are absolutely beautiful, and look to be of good quality. They don't look cheap at all, and they make my home look wonderful.
If I ever need to buy blinds again, I would buy from this site.

The blinds were very easy to order, delivered as promised. They look great now that we have them up. We did have problems with the installation instructions in that the drawing of the brackets was not very clear and we did not have the brackets installed correctly and were not able to install the blinds. When we called customer service they were not able to help. We finally figured it out on our own but drilled some unnecessary holes based on advice from the CR rep. In the end the blinds look great and are easy to install when the brackets are in correctly

Order on the site was easy. Unfortunetly, of the two blinds ordered, they sent the wrong size for one of them.. When I emailed the problem, it took a couple of days to get back to me, however, I was assured the blinds would be sent. I requested speedy service. Still waiting a couple of weeks later. Not happy.

product info
description
A distinctive look that makes a statement, this revolutionary sheer shade adds personality to any room. These zebra shades are made with two pieces of fabric, which both have alternating panels/bands: one 3" solid color band followed by one 2" sheer band. When the bands on both pieces of fabric are matched together, you get the look of horizontal blinds when open, including an outside view and natural light filtering into the room. To block the light and increase your privacy, you simply rotate the fabric so the solid colour bands fill the entire shade, giving the look of a traditional roller shade. Choose from 31 colours and patterns to match any decor.

shipping & production info
Shipping is FREE to Canada on all blinds under 94 inches wide (verticals under 94” long).
Blinds 94 inches and over may incur an oversize handling fee.
Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be.
Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.
Deductions
Headrail will measure ordered width minus 3/16".
Please be sure to measure exactly as instructed BUT NOT TAKE OFF ANYTHING FROM THE MEASUREMENTS TO ALLOW FOR FREE SPACE since we automatically take deductions from the measurements on your order to provide for this free space.
If you are planning to do a flush mount, please ensure that you have the space required to do so--you'll find the 'Flush mounting space required' under the Features tab for your blinds.
Height
Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three places.
Take the largest of the three measurements.
Write down that size making sure that it is the second number of the measurement. This is the height you will order.
Click here for length consideration to prevent buckling. This does not apply to the following products: 2" Premium Light Filtering Sheer Shades, 2" Premium Room Darkening Sheer Shades, 3" Premium Light Filtering Sheer Shades, 3" Premium Room Darkening Sheer Shades, 2" Value Light Filtering Sheer to Shade Shades & 2" Value Room Darkening Sheer to Shade Shades.
Your sheer horizontals will be fabricated to the exact lengh ordered, when the vanes are in the open position. When the vanes are rotated to the closed position, the shading will become 3/8" longer.
When closed on a inside mount, a slight puckering may occur on the lower most sheer section beccause of the contact with the sill. You may slightly raise the shading off the window sill. If preferred, the shading can be ordered 3/8" less than the measured length.
*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8”
Width
Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be.
Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. Example: If the window opening is 36", it might be helpful to order 40". This will provide 2" coverage on each side of the window.
There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.
Headrail will measure ordered width plus 1/4".
Fabric will measure ordered width minus 3/4".
Height
Measure the height you would like the blind to be by measuring top to bottom.
We recommend adding about 3 or 4 inches to this number to insure maximum light gap coverage and to cover the window completely.
Please be sure to know that the height measurement will always include the headrail. Example: if the height ordered is 80” this will be the height including the headrail (from the very top of the headrail to the bottom rail).
You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.
Headrail is 2 7/8” in height.
The length of the shade will be the exact length ordered when the vanes are tilted in the open position. When the vanes are tilted shut the shade will become 3/8” longer.
*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8”
