Victoria M. Bamboo Roller Blind 150 x 160 cm in Natural Colour - Privacy Window Blinds

Nice blinds. A reasonable price for some off the shelf blinds to fit in our open living space. Would be fab if you could take the strings to the opposite side, but when rolled up I just coil the string and lift it up and over to be out of the way. You could take the strings and rollers apart and swap them over and it would sort of work but I didn't think it was worth the effort.To my personal taste the white string clashes with the nice natural bamboo of the blind. And the little metal cleats that are included to tie the string up, are pretty naff and ugly.My plan in the future is to possibly make a little wooden pelmet to cover the hooks that hang up the blinds and the mechanism and if I really feel motivated, replace the string with a more natural looking line.But all works well and looks good. And as others say they don't block light or make things dark.Had an issue with our order but manufacturers sorted it out very quickly and efficiently.

I wanted one of those cheapish ikea bamboo blinds that you can see through but provide good privacy, in the daylight anyway. Ikea queues are too long for me post lockdown, so I sent for this. I chose the natural light bamboo. It has a flatter bamboo than ikea and it isn't as see-through, but that was fine. The packaging and blind is of good quality. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it doesn't arrive rolled up, sort of folded and the cord is around it. There are white plastic triangle things that, given the quality of the packaging, I thought was a method of keeping it all together, so I untied them to get to the blind. What I didn't realise until the end was that these bits of plastic are part of the mechanism that winds the blind up and down. It isn't obvious because the other bits of the mechanism is metal. It took me ages to tie it all up back together, infact a YouTube demo on how the stringing works. The instructions obviously didn't cover that but some unpacking instructions might have prevented it. Overall, I am very pleased with the blind.

I was a bit apprehensive about ordering this item but needn’t have been. It came much sooner that stated, the quality is good for the price. It’s a doddle to put up. I did it myself (lady, over 60) I didn’t use the hangers provided but used stick on hooks (also bought from Amazon) as there was no room to screw into frame and also didn’t want to damage upvc frames. It took about 10 minutes. Pulley mechanism works fine and it looks good. So impressed that I have now ordered another for my conservatory door.Would def. recommend

These blinds are accurately cut, assembled and carefully packed.I bought two blinds of the same dimensions - and they were within a millimetre of each other in length and width.The blind control fittings are of standard, simple design but neatly assembled and fixed - they work well.I hung each blind from stick-on hooks, so did not use the supplied fixings - they look just about adequate to resisting the forces applied to them when raising the blinds.Very happy with the final look and feel to the blinds when hung and in use.

Impressed; better quality build than previous items ( not from same supplier)N.B. this curtain does not allow you to seethrough whilst providing shade - previous curtains we have owned have had small spaces between the horizontal slats, this one does not. Its not an issue for us but might be to some folk used to the open-slatted curtains.

We have a partly enclosed structure on the side of our house which was getting to be a bit of a dumping ground. I have cleared it out and put table/chairs, hanging baskets, plants & patio heater out there. These blinds were just the finishing touch to keep out the wind and give us a little privacy. Really pleased, as we struggled to find the width and a reasonable price. I was kept fully aware and was able to track my order and delivery date. They arrived a couple of days early and would certainly recommend them.

Arrived quickly and securely packaged. Colour and finish accurately portrayed on line. Quality very good, but butterfly cord tie is flimsy/adequate. Pulley mechanism not too robust but works very well and has a ratchet which allows the blind to stay in any position, without securing the cord to the butterfly tie. Width can be cut to size, if you have the confidence to do a neat cut. The blind allows daylight to filter through, but sufficiently reduces glare from direct sunlight. Good value product, simple to fit to my summer house.

Just before Christmas 2018 I bought this blind to replace one where the bamboo and ancillary bindings were getting a bit broken. Therefore in just over a year I have had to replace the raising and lowering cord with the cord that had been used on the previous one. This cord is still intact and serviceable even after this blind was obtained secondhand and fitted sometime in the late 80's! The new cord in this item has a sheath which has frayed and separated around the central core fibers! Very dissappointed to have suffered this failure!John
