Dear customer, we are pleased that you think the Driftwood Beveled Reed Weave Bamboo Roman Shades look good in your home. This shade is "pre cut" to fit inside mount, so .5" is deducted from the nominal width. This deduction is explained on the package.
The package also shows the shade to have a grommet style pull cord if you look closely. There is a heavy shadow in the image at the top. We apologize for any confusion.
