Beautiful looking blind. Dopped one star because after 5 years the blind, for which this is a replacement, failed. The small plastic strips in the headrail which draw the slats across started breaking which required a bit of DIY repair. However, I think the problem was that with the blind being 8 feet across, it was just too heavy all on one side. This replacement opens left & right thus reducing the strain on the mechanism by half on each side. A point worth noting if you need a very wide unit Otherwise very happy with my blind. I also have a smaller blind in the kitchen which is still looking perfect.
