Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection Sahara Cordless Light Filtering Cellular Shades for Windows - 35 in. W x 48 in. L (Actual Size 34.75 in. W x 48 in.L)

Horrible Quality Control. Stay away from this and all Home Decorators Collection products and save yourself time, energy and injury. I just spent the last hour trying to install a defective product. Following the directions to the tee, I positioned the brackets exactly as they were supposed to go, attached them as instructed, then attempted over and over again to attach the shade to the brackets. No go. To the point that I cut my finger and broke one of the brackets. If I hadn't bought two shades, I never would have figured out what the issue was. It turns out the shade was assembled incorrectly from the (Chinese) factory (see photos). The hooking lip should be over the brown (front) side but in the defective shade, the factory assembled the hooking lip over the white (back) side. There is NO WAY the bracket would have ever fit. The question, though, is what kind of quality control lets a product that was assembled BACKWARDS through??? I can understand some chipped paint or a missing screw but THE WHOLE PRODUCT was wrong. Three hours of my time wasted shopping, driving and (unsuccessfully) installing. Stay away from Home Decorators. You've been warned.

These are decent quality at a not-too-bad price. Ordering custom would have been more expensive. My only gripe is that after putting in the desired width, the product page says "actual width" is 3/8" shorter. So I increased the width so that the "actual width" was what I wanted. Except when I got the product, it was actually closer to the value I entered, not the supposed "actual width". I still managed to force it in, and luckily my window widens towards the bottom. Pretty goofy measuring system though.

Very good shades at a good price. They wor well and we are pleased. We bought 2 in the store and had them cut to size. It only took a few minutes. We then ordered 4 more for the other 2 bedrooms. They come cut to the size you need. Measure and order the exact size for inside mounts. Installation was pretty easy. Love these shades. I personally liked buying in the store over ordering. It's a bit tricky on line to get everything out of your cart and paid for, but we really like these shades.

Needed a shade for the back door and this was perfect.

Like the shades. Purchased various sizes in snow drift white. Color a nice clear soft white without being too bright. The rails are solid and simple, shades easily push/pull up and down. The folds look good - they don't seem like they'll sag (I prefer wood blinds but in most of by experiences the mechanism to adjust yet along raise/lower blinds break quickly). One cannot look through the shades and light enters in the way I wanted (version I purchased are "filtering") Posted photo for a 72" long shade to show how little space is needed at top when fully raised. Data on the website is not great, Between sizes in some places size specs "fits window" sometimes matches actual size, in others the specified size instead. If the shade is used as inside mount the end caps of the top rail are probably not going to be used and therefore don't take up any space so that one can plan for a tighter fit, keeping in mind the recommended +/-

Used for our sunroom. Just the right amount of filtering. Easy to install and provides clean look.

Perfect for our needs!

Shades were easy to install and works well so far. Gives a very clean appearance without any cords. Stays in the set position.

They were very easy to install and look great. Very clean looking.

Great product at a reasonable price...easy to install....custom cut at store...perfect fit

These shades look great and provide great privacy, yet allow plenty of light into the house. Easy to install. They would be easier to raise and lower with a handle though.

Love these window treatments. Also so happy they were in stock

The color actually appears to be a bit darker than the picture shows. Also, the only screws in the box are for wood surface, so if your hanging surface is metal or plaster or drywall, u will need to buy extra set of anchor and screws for the specific surface on top of these. Plus the installation instruction is not very accurate, it recommends 1/4 inch drills but in reality it is too big of a hole I used 3/16 inch drill to secure the bracket. Finally, the bottom part of the head rail takes some effort to snap in, but it is even worse when you try to release it.

It looks great and easy to install. This product is not expensive at all. Love it!

I have tried many blackout options over the years, and was mostly disappointed. That is not the case here. These blinds were very easy to install, and operate smoothly, but with a solid feeling action. The pictures were taking during an bight, overcast day, with no flash, and the ceiling light off in both shots. Better measuring on my part could have produced an even better result.

Got them up and they look great. Raise and lower easily. You can see how they let some light through. The only reason that I didn't give them a 5 is that they are not quite the quality of ones I purchased for our bedroom.

These blinds are great. Installation is easy. They look great. And cordless is so nice. I have 7 of these throughout my house and just live them. High quality, great price, and they hold up great. I highly recommend.

Easy to install and looked great, but I have a 5-panel bay window and 8 months in one of the interior cords snapped and now slouches on one side when down. I thought it could just be a faulty one and was getting ready to just replace that one panel, but now it's happened to another one! The price was good, but not if you have to replace them constantly.

Installed easily and meet our expectations.

Perfect for our very sunny and hot living room that gets all the afternoon sun. Was concerned light filtering may not be enough overage but they are fabulous! Move effortlessly and are light. Cordless is always the way to go if can! We keep so much heat out with cells. Savings for sure on air conditioning! We just need more to cover our sliding door and we will be set! Get price and get color option/ opacity. As you can see from the picture the look so “light” visually on the eyes. Only thing I wish they had was handles, we will get low cost ones and attach ourselves.

very easy to install, can order to a specific size , look great, great shade, great price … definitely need the shade in AZ in July !

Easy to install. Easy to raise and lower. Looks great in my kitchen.

Perfect fit and easy to install-just snaps in place! I am very happy to have the light filtering on hot, sunny days, too.

Great blinds, easy breezy to install. Sales person cut them just the right size! Thank you pam. Looks really nice!

Very easy to install Product was as expected

I love them (all 4) no cords or strings. Just lightly nudge them up or down. The light coming from outside is perfect.

Very easy to install. Product was as expected

The product is excellent, looks great, easy to install and I love the fact that there are no cords.
