Things you really need to know!! Read this.
First things first - if you buy these, do yourself a favor and throw away the instructions before you start. Not only are the instructions useless, they give information that will hinder your progress (example: "install the brackets 7 inches in from the ends of the blinds". If you do that, you will be unable to mount the blinds as the inner mechanisms will be in the way). So... once you've removed the brackets and placed them in a location that could work (maybe 1.5 inches from each end) you will find that the blinds don't actually fit in the plastic brackets. I mean, not even close. When you try forcing them, you risk breaking them. [Alas... somewhere , men in suits sat around a board room looking at the cheap brackets they just received from their supplier in China. "But Bob, the blinds don't fit in these". The room went quiet for a minute deciding what to do. Someone finally said "Ahhh, screw it. Ship 'em!"]. And there you have it. The blinds themselves (putting the bracket issue aside and that's a BIG issue) are exactly what you expect for $10. Just ok. I forced the plastic and got them to stay up (for now). I suspect they will fall at some point. On the fence about returning them since they were only $10 and getting them down will be a hassle. We'll see.
