I was scared to order these because I read so many terrible reviews. I ordered 3 sets of wood cordless blinds with cloth tape. Most brands didn't have the cloth tape on the cordless version, but Select Blinds did so I took the risk. My blinds were not damaged on arrival, but I could see how they could be. I'd give the packaging a B-. The blinds themselves look great (Distressed Cabin w/black tape). I'm very happy with the quality and appearance. The valance is magnetic. I wish they had more valance options because the one I got looks a little "country" for my tastes. Still, it looks nice and many people would be happy with it. The magnets are held on with glue. Hopefully they stay attached in summer by the hot window. Guess it doesn't matter much because the magnetic valance has my DIY wheels churning. Had I not ordered samples, I think I could have been in real trouble. I wouldn't even order white, you can't trust it. My only real complaint would be the Dollar Store looking clear wand. Looked horrible against the dark colored blinds. I cut strips of black vinyl and carefully covered the wands. The clear wand is unacceptable. I think it's worth taking the risk of ordering from Select Blinds.
