In the past I've had a blind for my house ordered and fitted by the Blind Spot. They did a…read moreperfectly good job at a reasonable price of installing a plain cream blind. As they've recently moved premises they caught my eye again and I decided to inquire about getting the last wooden blind that I need. It wasn't difficult to arrange an appointment for some body to come and measure up for a quote. The problem is that if you're out at work during the day you can't get them to come at a convienient time before you leave - 9.30 is the earliest and it's much the same at the end of the day. That's why I ended up getting someone else who could come after office hours to do most of my blinds last time. They're not open on Saturdays either, which is a pity. I wouldn't mind getting them again because they are nearby, if only I didn't have to reorganise my life so much to fit in with their hours.

I ordered 34 PVC slats from Blind Spot has I had all the accessories from previous blinds that were…read morehard to clean. I collected within the week and wanted them checked before I left premises. John took them out to the back office and came back to say all there. When I got home and was hanging each one, the stitching is so shabby/shocking to say the least. I could not sell in that state to a customer. I rang John and he did agree that some back stitching took place - well every slat was bad, not even straight. Asked me to bring them back!!!!!???? If I had checked myself before leaving the shop, I would have asked questions. Maybe my standards are much too high. Would not go back here - get better service anywhere else. Cecilia Conway

I'm not used to decorating homes and recently I have undertaken some redesign and decor of our…read morespare bedroom. I called in here to price curtains and bed linen as they have been about for absolutely ages and have a decent reputation. I wasn't that impressed. The stuff, I felt, was out dated and expensive. The staff weren't very helpful even though I very obviously needed help with measurements, colour schemes and the like. I personally prefer Dunelm Mill but I was in the centre of town and couldn't have been bothered traveling about the place. I don't think I will go in again for anything other than a definite item as I just felt a little overwhelmed at all the stuff but the lack of help.

I'm not really big into curtain / fabric / bed linen shops, since I don't have a requirement to buy…read moreany of these types of goods. However, when my parents were away on holiday last year, I decided I would venture in and purchase a duvet cover set for myself, having been in dire need of one for quite some time. Undoubtedly one of the most important days in a girl's life... I was fortunate enough to be in the shop during sale time, and was even more fortunate to find a blue and white barcode striped duvet cover for half price...£10 ("how do you do it?" is a frequent question asked by my mum). That usual jubilation that suddenly overcomes me the moment I find a bargain eluded me for once. I *had* to phone my mum and dad to ensure that my find was genuine and the bargain was good enough to warrant a purchase. A five minute phonecall later, and we established that this was the case. Phew. A year later, and my blue and white striped duvet cover is still perfectly intact, currently taking pride of place on my bed. Having had such a wonderful experience, when I went back this year to a newly refurbished Spinning Wheel, I was slightly disheartened to find no duvet covers on the bottom floor, despite the fact that this was indicated on the wall. Being in a hurry, I had to go, but I will definitely pop back in for a proper look very soon. And to get lost among all those curtains. Looks like such fun...

They didn't do a great job initially with our blinds, several of them being too long when they were fitted, but they have no problem fixing it for you if they've measured or cut them incorrectly, and that's in keeping with their friendly customer service.
