Zebra Shades from aliexpress

Wed, Dec 05 2018, 10:52 pm

Hi,

I'm thinking about ordering the Zebra blinds form Ali. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this (and success) so they can weigh in and advise if there is a particular seller to get from etc.
I'm looking at the "Special Contemp Square Mechinism Zebra Roller blinds Bead Rope Upper open White hotel Roller shades Curtains Made to measure", but see there are cheaper options..

Any tips/advise?!

Thank you so much!

This is the guy I used. He’ll send you the Ali link, I don’t know how to share a link from the app. He send me measuring instructions. He’s a pleasure to work with and my shades are stunning

Would you mind sharing what color shades you got and how much they were? Are the colored parts textured or smooth? I love the textured ones but cant afford them from a regular store

Have someone else measure too and see if they got the same dimensions?

I ordered from the Chang Love store on ali. I am very happy for the price I paid. You need to measure the width in 3 different places - top, middle and bottom and go with the narrowest measurement.

Installation was easy, my dh is handy.

They have an option of them calculation the .2 of an inch that they take off.

I didn't feel comfortable to order for my entire house @ once however the price was right and my dh decided it was worth the risk and it really was!

I got white shades. Not sure what you mean by textured? They’re like a sheer satin type material, some stripes are more dee through then the others. They’re gorgeous!
My windows - did 3 in a row as that’s what I have - 35x60, 51x60, and 35x60 totals 166 dollars. Much much cheaper than local places but definitely I hear the risk. For the savings I was willing to take it!

Below is the link to the one I ordered here’s what u need to know:

*theres are other good sellers as well I just went with the cheap responsive seller with good rating
*u have to message the seller with your measurements and ask them for a price quote

*ppl have told me that the edges of the material could fray (even the $1500 local ones) I put nail polish on the ends and so far 1 yr later its ok

*there is also an option of room darkeners (thicker material) which I didn’t need but if ur ordering for a bedroom you’d probably want that one

*the light filtering sheer part of this one I bought is not as sheer as I thought or as the “real thing” meaning I don’t get sun flooding in when it’s on light filtering I cud imagine ppl would be particular about that but I wasn’t cuz I prefer the privacy along with some sunlight even if it’s less than I would want lol

Gooooood luck
