The wand that allows the blinds to be opened and closed will NOT stay attached to the blinds.

When the wand falls off it renders the blinds useless. Now I notice that Google sends all Blinds-To-Go searches directly to another company called Select Blinds Inc. Perhaps GOOGLE reads these reviews. It is companies like Blinds-To-Go that contribute to the growing bad reputation of American-made products. read full review »
