Price
Just fiddling parts but great value for what you get over paying a fitter £100 per window
Shipping
They came quickly were easy to install and do exactly the job i wanted them to do
The blinds promptly arrived the next day and after an initial 5 minute puzzle on how the frame would fit they were very easy to install
I needed nextday delivery of blackout blinds for the velux windows in our loft room
Packaging/appearance
Seems a great waste of packaging material which is something amazon should really address
My only slight negative would be that both blinds came packaged separately in boxes that couldve easily fitted 6 blinds
Competitiveness
Great alternative and cheaper than original brand
What a life and wallet saver compared to branded velux blinds
I have not got any of the velux equivalent to do a direct comparison but the saving made these worth trying out

You will need a small screwdriver in addition to what comes in the kit to fix the blinds firmly in place to the window frame there is a small allen key to adjust the tension of the cords that hold the blind in any position but these come pretensioned and shouldnt really need messing with the cords may stretch over time requiring adjustment but not when its new

The blind is not fitting perfectly on the frame

The side bars are too small with about 15 mm and the blind itself is not wide enough
