Door / French Doors Sheer Shades

"It does the trick, but is only o.k."

By LWC from Westchester, NY

The sheer blinds style is exactly what we wanted and looks great.  Contemporary window treatments for doors and sidelights (windows next to doors) are difficult to find.  What I don't like about this is that it seems to be cheap construction.  The product description says that the blinss open/close with a lever on top - I thought that meant an actual mechanism, but really it is just a piece of metal that you move up or down by hand to open or close.  I wonder if we should have just purchased the regular blinds that open and close and used the hold-down brackets instead.  This was expensive for the quality and lack of mechanism.  Be warned.
