Track width is correct. I ordered a 10 panel split stack. That means 5 panels on side, so a 5 slot track is needed. My order came with a 6 slot track. That adds nearly. 75 inches to the depth of the panels.
The description does not specify width of panels. I was told to divide the width of the track (149 inches) by the number of panels (10) then add 1 - 1.5 inches. So 149/10 =@ 15". 15 + 1.5 = 16.5. The panels are actually 18 inches wide. This means that the panels will cover part of the window on each side, and the panel overlap is excessive and unattractive. Other sellers are clear about having standard panel sizes. SelectBlinds makes it seem that they offer custom panel sizes. They do not.
The product description is insufficient. The information that I received when I called customer service for more details was incorrect. The CSRs do not seem to be familiar with the panel track product.
If I had been given accurate information about the track size (not custom, obviously) and the panel width (not custom either) I would not have ordered this product.
And customer service has not responded to my questions or concerns.
Image 1 is the track configuration I expected, with desired measurements A & B marked. Image # 2 is the 6 slot track I received with only 5 slots used for panels.
I've purchased and installed custom cellular blinds in each of the three homes I've owned. I bought my first set from a Blindster.com. Great price, average to good quality and attractiveness, and easy install. Second home's blinds I bought from Blinds.com. Good price, great quality and attractiveness, and easy install.
Unfortunately, Blinds.com I bought from didn't have the color I needed for our paint in this house, so I bought these shades for a whoppin' $275 each!, expecting top quality, great attractiveness, and an easy install like their top competitors. The fabric quality is on par with the last blinds I bought and the foil interior lining was a nice surprise, but the mismatched plastic color with the fabric color looks tacky. They should have stuck with white plastic.
The mounting brackets do not snap in like the "how to install" video on their website shows for this product. It's very difficult to tell when they engage and most they time they don't without adjustment. It is very poor installation hardware design that doesn't work without making manual adjustments with a pair of pliers. It took me waaaay too much of my evening to figure it out. Later, I checked YouTube and found a guy that figured it out and has over 85,000 views from frustrated SelectBlinds customers with the same problem due to trashy design work.
Very neglectful to have such a blaring flaw in their installation design. ***SelectBlinds emailed me requesting a review and then blocked this review from posting on their website (I did omit the names of the competitors and still blocked it).

If you feel like being lied too and wanting a horrible experience all the way around this company is for you! After at least 20 calls they agreed to make 7 new blinds, which I never received! Contacted them they said order was canceled and couldn't give reason for lack of notes! Contacted BBB and the company lied to them and said they send blinds and I was unhappy with replacements. This company is the most unorganized joke! Buyer beware!
Hello Josh,
Again, we are very sorry for your poor experience. We tried many times to rectify the situation over the phone, but unfortunately, it doesn’t appear we can come to an amicable solution. Still, we appreciated your business and wish you the best”.
When I didn't receive my order after several weeks, I called and they didn't have it! I resubmitted the order and without my asking, customer service wrote me and asked how they could help. They wanted to be sure I was satisfied. Not many companies care today! If the product is as good as customer service, I'm sure I'll be orderiing again!
I ordered these over a month ago. When they didn't come, I called. My card wasn't charged. Luckily I found you saveed my order so I just ordered them again.
I place my order for my blinds on 8/9/22 a estimated delivery on 8/29/22. Today is 9/2/22 and no blinds so I decide to call them to see what's going on. They were rude on the phone and they told me my blinds will be shipped on 9/30/22. I told him that was unacceptable and with a rude tone she says what do you want me to do. I said I wanted a refund and they said they can't guarantee a refund. I'm just saying if your slogan is 100% customer satisfaction, then you need to get better people on the phone and stop lying about shipping dates and guaranteed a refund. I don't want a refund and I didn't want to write a bad review but if you don't care about your customers I want to let everybody know.

The prices are never what is advertised. Seems odd.
They emailed me and explained their pricing. I explained that pricing should be transparent and consistent across the board. Good cust service and product. I actually ordered again so maybe my 3 stars a bit harsh so we go with 4. But that was for pricing issues. Products and services seem quite good. Nice people to talk to.

My experience was nothing positive. I was a first-time customer and while ordering my blinds I reached out to customer service to walk me through the process. I ended up getting the wrong order and when I reached out to them again I was basically told "too bad". There was nothing they could do. I will not recommend this company to anyone, and from now on I will make sure that I order blinds for my home from a local retailer.

Sadly I thought this was a quality company but it is not. I had a hefty order for blinds for my new home and it didn't go well. The blinds don't operate smoothly, but the big issue is the didn't miter 4 out of the six blinds and it cost me extra for my handyman to fix it. They offered a Paul try $50 and haughtily proceeded to tell me I vouddd my warranty! Told me to read the fine print, how rude! I had to make a quick decision on installing the blinds, otherwise I would've paid for a double trip charge so I fixed what they did wrong. How can fixing a valance 45 degree cut alter the operation of a blind? Shame on them, don't waste your money, they are not an honorable company and the products are pretty poor too.
Hello Debbie,
We apologize that your Faux Wood Blinds did not arrive in the top-quality as you expected. We have a 90-day satisfaction guarantee that if there is a defect in a product’s material or workmanship, we promise to resolve the issue at no cost to you for up to 90 days from the date of purchase. We even pay for shipping!. The issue is when a customer takes it upon themselves to fix something covered through warranty, it voids that warranty. It is similar to a car warranty where if another person fixes something on your car under warranty and it fails, the warranty is voided. My job is to make sure our customers are given 5-star service and that any mistakes made on our end are made right for you.

Ryan was very kind and helpful with my order. He honored a promotion code and gave me a great price on the blinds. He also explained the warranty. I really appreciate his help.
I wanted something different for my windows, and I really like the way the Roman rustic blinds look. So, I placed a large order with them. My customer service person was Chris. He was very professional and knowledgeable and helped me through the ordering process.
As a returning customer, I not only love the products, but I love the fact that Select blinds really does care about their customers. They not only listen to the customer feedback, but they take action on it to make sure the customer's experience is top notch.
It stinks as a returning customer we are unable to use the $50 promo code which I found out was for new customers only. So much for loyalty to your customers
I was worried about buying custom blinds, so I ordered the samples. The samples were okay quality so I followed their measurement instructions and called a service agent before ordering. The order took 3 weeks to arrive and half of the order arrived out of specifications. The quality was not anywhere near the sample quality. They were also too large for the window. Their "worry-free" return policy is a lie. When I tried to reorder the ones that were out of spec, they sent me an invoice with an extra $50 charge to remake the blinds that they said were incorrectly sized. This company is a scam and they were prepared to deny our request for a refund at ever turn. Customer service was extremely rude or unresponsive. Now I'm stuck with hundreds of dollars of blinds that don't fit. Their only resolution is to pay for more of their blinds. Do not buy from this company!

I've ordered several times from select blinds. The first time was for vertical blinds a long time ago. These were great quality but the head rail finally failed so it was time for a replacement. Prior to replacing the blinds I inquired several times about the quality of the head rail on each level of blinds that were offered. Very little, if any of the people I talked with knew anything about this subject and how the head rail types or quality varied across the different lines offered. One person offered me the old saying "you get what you pay for". So when I ordered my replacement vertical blinds I went to the designer line hoping for top quality as it was much more expensive than the other lines offered. To my disappointment the head rail in these blinds was kind of cheap, all rope driven and as result, not very smooth in operation The blind vanes were nice, much better than the material inserts I had before. So I raised my rating a level based on this.
Another issue that was difficult to work with was the packaging of the rope and chain. The rope was OK and I could finally straighten it out. However the chain was impossible to get into working alignment. It was like a very difficult Chinese puzzle to untangle. Unfortunately I had to finally cut the chain to get it straight so it would function properly Another unsatisfactory issue was the provided wall mount swivels that the chain and rope were suppose to work with. I had to cut them off as they were not even close to work the way I thought they should. FOR THE PRICE OF THESE UPPER LEVEL BLINDS, I WAS DISAPPOINTED.

We purchased 45 inch solar shades. I spoke to the gentleman three times to make sure that I measuring them correctly. He gave me specific directions as to how to measure our windows. I followed them exactly like he said. I never told him that these would be in set in a window. But I think he assumed that. For that reason we have gaps on either side of our windows, every single one. It looks terrible! And they will not stand by their product. I was told that I was supposed to read the information on the website at the bottom of the traditional solar shade page. I was never even on that page in their website. I will never purchase product from them again because the people that assist you in the ordering process don't know what they're talking about.

When customers order a panel track split there will be 1 more slot because the panels on each side are put on different slots. They don't meet in the middle, they will overlap each other in the front to make it look like a pyramid effect and minimize the gap in the middle.
