I used Blind Alley for blackout blinds in our media room. Easy process. Reasonable prices. Very professional. One of the blinds was dead on arrival. They let me know during install and came out the next day with a new motor to repair it. read more

Reasonable quote, very good support (lifetime!). Personal attention during the quote process, good set of samples provided. After a reasonable delay for manufacturing, installation was completed within expected time period. They're keeping our living room significantly cooler. Planning on doing the family room next. read more

Lena was so amazing. She gave me more options than the other blind companies, and I ended up getting higher-quality blinds. She is an amazing designer if you are lucky enough to get to work with her. read more

We called and asked for a service request to fix a few issues. Th value was well worth it. The service requested was and handled with care. We gave no issues with the Service Requested. read more

Rude and not courteous at all. I witness the rage of one of the employee (or was it the owner? I don't know) and it scares my husband and I.

We added 30+ new top- end Hunter Douglass blinds in our new house. We added full automation and couldn't be more pleased. Great service and a good value. read more

Our Hunter Douglas vertical blind had a broken handle. I thought they would just mail me small replacement part. Instead, they sent their repairman out to make sure all was well. Richard communicated well, and not only did he fix the handle but noticed the track was sticky. He attempted a repair, but concluded it really needed a new track to move smoothly again. The blind was old, so I was appreciating Richard giving it a good try and thought that would be the end of it. Instead, Richard went to bat for us with Hunter Douglas, who generously agreed to replace the track as well. Again Richard came out and replace the track in maybe 15 min. He spent a few minutes with us to go over the repair and confirm proper function. Works great now. Thank you Ricchard and Blind Alley, and for Hunter Douglas for standing behind your product. How refreshing! read more

Wow, wow, wow! We searched for a reputable window coverings company for MONTHS before deciding to go with The Blind Alley, and have been super impressed with our experience. Leslie was a delight to work with in picking out our color and fabric, while the installers Sergei and Max were the most efficient installation professionals we've ever seen! They arrived promptly, checked the functionality and alignment of every blind thoroughly (one of the blinds had a small manufacturing defect and they ordered a replacement right away) and helped dispose of all the clunky old blinds. Hunter Douglas blinds are no doubt expensive but we are so thrilled with the high quality, top-down bottom-up functionality and aesthetic of these blinds. Highly recommend this company for its A+ service if you're in the market for quality blinds! read more

Completed blind repair well, took about a week, happy they could repair so I didn't need to replace

We've used them three times over the years and they are first class and competitive! Highly recommended!

Today the technician Ryan came to my home to install a blind. He was on time, very neat and clean and did a great job and also fixed a problem I had with another shade. I can recommend him, Martha read more

About 6 years ago one of my Hunter Douglas Duette blinds needed a cord replaced. I took off the blind and took it to Blind Alley where they fixed it. Upon leaving they advised that it's a DYI type of job for those comfortable taking off the blind. Fast-forward to today when I went to the store for the same issue. Remembering the recommendation I didn't take the blind with me but rather the original manual that shows the model and the LiteRise system. I explained to the technician what I'm after. The technician seemed to have difficulties understanding what I'm talking about. In a rude manner he claimed that there are too many models and I need to be more specific. I pulled out the Installation-Operation-Care manual but he refused to look, raising his voice and becoming visibly irritated about my inquiry. This behavior doesn't deserve my business. If you'd like to be treated properly service your blinds elsewhere! read more

So far it appears this store is closed or not dealing with customers. Not making appointments for new customers. Save yourself the effort and contact The Shade Store or Seattle Design Solutions.They are willing to see new customers. Hello Kurt I welcome your feedback. I appreciate your explanation this defiantly puts into context your teams' response. It is understandable now the response I received from from your busy staff. With your numbers at an all time high that explains the lack of response from your team to my request. After several online request that went unanswered, I finally reached a nice young lady on the phone. She was pleasant enough but my simple request for a mid-day weekend appointment was met with a quick and sharp "NO." I understand that a busy staff has to triage incoming projects and my meager project was discarded as unimportant to your business and the high volume you operate at. read more

We worked with The Blind Alley on shades for our new construction home. The customer service at Blind Alley was leagues above the other stores we looked at. Our initial consultation was with Joni and she was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She took the time to go through all the different shade types and design options. The communication about ordering timelines and installation scheduling was also great. Claudia was always on top of keeping us up to date and they were very accommodating with rescheduling when our house closing was pushed multiple times. The installation itself was extremely efficient, they sent two installers and were done within a couple hours (and they did basically the whole house). We're very happy with our new double cell shades and would highly recommend working with The Blind Alley. read more

The Blind Alley has consistently great customer service. Response times are incredible and they are always willing to help. I highly recommend this business. read more

First of all: if you are looking for blinds, shades, window treatments in the Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland Washington area, look no further. Blind Alley will give you the best experience, and will continue to take care of you later on. My wife and I chose Hunter Douglas blinds six years ago, and we've been enjoying them ever since. At the time, close friends also bought a house but chose a different vendor. Our blinds are still there, while theirs had to be replaced. After almost six years, one of the blinds had a mechanical issue. I called, and asked for service. To my great surprise, I was reminded that Hunter Douglas has a lifetime warranty, and since Blind Alley installed them for us, there will be no charge for the visit, no charge for parts and labor. The serviceman came on time. And when I say on time, I mean 3:30 on the dot. He assessed the situation and determined that a part needed to be replaced. He replaced it, and took the time to make sure that the blinds were precisely balanced. And when I say balanced, I mean that even a Swiss watchmaker obsessed with accuracy would have been happy. I did something I don't do often enough. I called the store, spoke to their service coordinator, and told him that I hadn't experienced such great service call ever before. And only so you know, I could have grandchildren already. The fact I don't has nothing to do with my age. More with my children... Blind Alley. Don't think twice. read more

We had a house that needed new window treatments. They really exceeded expectations with amazing customer service, a fantastic showroom, and great design recommendations for all our windows. We love the end product, it looks beautiful and well-integrated into the house. Manufacturing delays were outside their control, but they were communicative and it was well worth the wait for the quality product we got in the end. read more

I've done a lot of work on my condo recently and I've seen the full spectrum of customer service. I have to say Blind Alley was consistently outstanding. read more

These people are THE BEST!!! They are always responsive and they still believe in good customer service unlike most companies now. I'll never use anyone else!!!!! read more

We used The Blind Alley for the second time in our new house and are extremely satisfied with the high quality Hunter Douglas shades. Their helpful service and expert installation is top notch. We got a few motorized shades for difficult to reach and large windows, black out shades for bedrooms, as well as manual pull down shades for glass doors. They are all easy and smooth to operate. I highly recommend them. read more

It is a great experience with them for my window treatment. They are professional and friendly all the time. Although the bind is expensive than other brands, I believe it is worth for it. read more

We hired Blind Alley designer Leslie to help design a set of custom draperies for our home. The whole process was very pleasant, all the folks from designer to installer showed up on time and did a wonderful job. The workmanship is top notch. In addition we have a broken Hunter Douglas blind fixed at Blind Alley as they have the largest in house repair shop on the east side. I highly recommend Blind Alley for all of your window treatment need. read more

Blind Alley has way exceeded my expectation. I had two motorized shades that stopped functioning. The previous home owner installed them so we have no clue what's wrong and no experience dealing with motorized shades. Kurt has been amazingly patient and kind with my endless inquiries, and Richard has been super helpful with not just fixing the shades but also sharing useful knowledge and tips with us. This is more than getting the shades working again. I sincerely appreciate Kurt and Richard going beyond to help a completely clueless customer even though this is just a very small business to them (and in fact, it could have even been a case of spending time but not leading to any business at all). Thank you, Kurt and Richard! read more

I can not say enough good things about my experience with the Blind Alley. There were professional, easy to work with, and extremely thorough. They take their work very seriously and it shows. They made sure we were 100% happy with every small detail, and were quick to correct anything that felt like it wasn't exactly right and troubleshoot alternative solutions to get us the finished product we wanted. It's definitely an investment, but it feels like money well spent if you are in the market for nice window treatments for your home. read more

WOW, and I say wow again. Amazing service! Last week, one of the blinds in the family room broke, which meant that the room would no longer be as dark and easy to sleep in. My other half has been sleeping in that room due to a health issue, so this was a major set back for us. We called the service department and left a message, when they called back, the same day, I explained the situation. The gentleman told me they were completely booked for the day, but would have the scheduler call me later to see what they could do. When Richard called back, he said he would drop by after his shift and see what he could do! He came, by around 6:30 PM, fixed the cord and then fixed all the rest of them in the room! What a life saver! Big shout out to their service department! Thank You! read more

The store rep did an excellent job helping me pick the right options for my skylight shade, and the installer measured perfectly. My new shade blocks out almost all light and is easy to control with the remote. read more

Ordered blinds prior to Covid-19 shut-downs. Got the last install appointment before completely closure. Blinds are great - just what I wanted. Installation was a breeze and the installer was very personable, giving me info on the blinds and hardware for future reference. I've used The Blind Alley before this and will use them again if needed. Thanks for the great product and service! read more

Richard helped me with my duet shades I had purchased pre- pandemic, which had become unprogrammed. He walked me through the reset process, suggested I examine the controller and even gave me his personal cell. When he ultimately came out for a service call, he was prompt, professional and kind. He reprogrammed everything, was delightful and refused to charge me I can't thank him enough. He's a treasure! Wonderful service by Richard and the Blind Alley! read more

Nice business to work with and the quote beat Costco's. Tami, the sales rep, was pleasant and is an expert at what she does. She has worked for Blind Alley for 25 years. Blinds came in when stated and installed properly by a nice gentleman. We would use them again. read more

Great job by Blind Alley--especialy Emily the designer and Ryan the Installer. Ordered 4 HunterDouglas 1" aluminum blinds. The color Emily suggested turned out great and her measurements were spot on. Ryan did an amazing job removing the old blinds and installing the new blinds. Ryan also went the extra mile in getting a repair done for another older blind. Highly recommend Blind Alley. read more

I consulted with the team at The Blind Alley when I was looking to purchase black out curtains for my master suite. When I visited the shop in Bellevue I found it to be well organized and warm. The staff was friendly and helpful. Claudia and Leslie were very accommodating with samples and suggestions. They even came by to do a walk through and work a design that complemented my existing decor. I selected and ordered some very high quality material and furnishings. This was a custom order and while it took a bit of time for the order to be created and delivered, what I received looked even better than I had anticipated. Richard did a fantastic job installing it all. I have since moved and had the Blind Alley team modify my draperies to fit my new space. Again, more quality customer service and helpful ideas. Overall I am very glad I chose to work with the Blind Alley for my needs. I am very satisfied with my top quality draperies. They were not inexpensive, but well worth it. After many years of mini blinds and bargain window coverings, I feel like I now have a work of art covering my windows, not just "curtains". Thank you Claudia, Leslie and Richard! read more

The Blind Alley is a model of what a retail business should be. We had our Hunter-Douglas Duettes installed many years ago. The manufacture was excellent, and the installation was professional, smooth, and efficient. Over the years, when problems occasionally cropped up (worn or frayed cords, malfunctioning mechanisms -- basically, normal wear and tear), the Blind Alley confirmed our purchase and sent out a repair person, who fixed out blinds, at no charge to us. (The first time this happened we couldn't even remember from whom we had purchased the blinds, but they were able to find us in their database when we gave them the serial number from one of the blinds!) I have never before seen a retailer who stood behind their product like this. Hats off the the Blind Alley. They are a great store. read more

We bought a Hunter Douglas shade from Blind Alley. back in 2007. 12 years later the cord that raised and lowered the shade finally broke, inside the mechanism. I called their repair shop and was able to schedule a repair visit for two days later. The repair person, Ray, arrived right at the beginning of the two-hour window I was given, and was done in 10 minutes. He was efficient, friendly, and even put some booties over his shoes to protect our floors and carpet. There was no charge for the work. We have other Hunter Douglas blinds in our house--older than the shade--and also purchased from Blind Alley. And when they need servicing, Blind Alley fixes them--at no charge. As a homeowner, this level of service is astounding. For them, it's just the way they do business. read more

Prompt, courteous service and excellent fit. Love the Hunter Douglas options and range of choices. We are very happy with our blinds! The only negative was the long wait between ordering and install. read more

Blind Alley did all our window coverings a few years ago. Went in today looking for replacement parts for our Duettes. They were very helpful and went way above what I expected. It was as painless as when I brought in a blind that had unspooled. they took care of it then and with a smile. After that experience and today's, I have to say that this company is the best at customer service. Very impressed. When I came home, husband said he wants them to come out and do new ones for his office. Front staff and back room repairs staff were very professional and amazing. Thanks again! read more

We are very pleased with the service we received from Blind Alley in Bellevue. We were particularly impressed with the fact that the same person came to measure for our shades, installed the shades and returned to take care of a small problem with one of the shades read more

I'm a repeat customer of Blind Alley. They installed two large Hunter Douglas shades in my home in 2005. Now, in 2018, it was time to make a minor repair to the movement of those shades, and order new shades for two bedroom windows and replace 20-year-old shades in the living room. The Blind Alley Designer visited my home with samples, and took measurements. She matched the existing blinds exactly in color and style. A few weeks later when my order was ready the installation technician fixed the "stuck" movement of my old blinds, and installed the new blinds in a flash. They look fantastic. Blind Alley met every promise they made, from appointments, to delivery, to installation. I would use them again, and recommend them highly. read more
