Ellen had many samples with her and she was patient while we walked through the different options in our bedroom and living room. The price was reasonable and the Hunter Douglas brand has been a quality one for some time. The installation went quickly and seamlessly. The gentleman ensured we ok'ed each room post installation. We will be using Ellen in the future for a few more rooms.

Consultation & sales: Ellen was incredible. (I will admit…read morethat it gave me pause to read some of the other reviews about bad installation so I want to leave a review to share the positive experience I had recently). We weren't sure what we needed or what was possible and had lots of questions. She was very thorough, honest and realistic about costs and sharing what would work with our budget. She made recommendations based on what was important to us and realistic for our home/windows (never pushing us into more expensive solutions or overselling) -- and was so helpful weighing the pros/cons of treatment options for each window. She did a consultation and provided an estimate same-day. When we agreed to proceed, she came back and took additional measurements and confirmed how the hardware/treatments would be installed in each window. We felt so supported in the consultation and sales process. Installation: The installer arrived early and communicated this in advance via phone (he even called us when he had a cancellation to see if we wanted to schedule installation on an earlier day) and was generally just incredible. We've been working with a lot of contractors recently and the installer was BEYOND professional and efficient. He finished the installation early and was an absolute pleasure to have in our home (thorough and detail oriented). We are thrilled and would highly recommend Ellen and her team.

He measured the windows and told me he'd provide me with a quote the following day. I got the promised quote (very reasonable) the next day and decided to proceed with the project.

Rich and his coworker again arrived at the promised time and the install was so quick! I'm in love with my new shades.

I stopped into Blinds to Go on a whim on Tuesday, July 15. I was immediately greeted by Aureli and…read moreshe was super helpful with answering my questions and addressing my needs. I have an oversized living room window with weird measurements. She knew right away what I was trying to achieve and didn't try to oversell me anything. We reviewed fabric options and she let me take home the swatch book to make sure my decision will be perfect. She arranged for Shawn to come by the next day (today) to measure. He was in and out in like 5 minutes. I am super impressed with the efficiency, ease, and non-pressured sale. I am about to place my order and will follow up with the results. In the meantime, on service alone, I am very pleased and would recommend to anyone looking for treatments. As a side note, pricing was very reasonable for a custom size.

Update 11/8/20: see comments on my personal Facebook page…read more(Maureen Holmes) for comments on Robin Boyce after posting my review there. Unfortunately I am not the only one who has endured a bad experience with her. MH I warn anyone who will listen away from this unethical business and owner Robin Boyce. I had the misfortune to be her client and endure her careless, unprofessional, dishonest and ultimately abusive and vulgar treatment. My "custom kitchen" arrived without the custom elements and with a grossly oversized refrigerator. The kitchen designer blames someone else for a major kitchen error and refuses to fix it! (See photos) I had the exact same experience with the shutters and the custom stair-runner I ordered from her. They were both delivered with errors and missing parts, and Design West has done NOTHING to correct its errors. This is the worst experience I've ever had with another human being, period. I never received an apology on any mistake I swear to God. That's when I realized too late I had hired the wrong person. Robin Boyce/Design Center West scammed me by promising professional results and delivering dirt. Robin Boyce then turned verbally abusive when confronted with her easily disproved lies. (I have all documentation to prove my charges.) This last point deserves special mention. When I expressed my dismay at the errors, delays and lack of accountability, her demeanor shifted immediately from friendly to combative and borderline violent. It was a shock to learn the owner wasn't just a sleaze but mentally unhinged too. When I confronted her in her store after she ignored my contractor's emails and texts, she began screaming profanities at me while hurling insults about my appearance and character, which I presumed was an intimidation tactic. That felt sickening, but it worsened when she came at me with her arm pulled back as if to throw a punch, but thankfully she stopped herself before landing her fist in my face. I feel certain the only thing that stopped her was a possible assault charge. I would feel sorry for Ms Boyce if she wasn't a thief, and if her emotional instability didn't manifest in such an ugly manner. But no mental state excuses her dishonesty, mentally healthy or not. Not a word of this review is hyperbole. I lost thousands of dollars and was blindsided by a venomous verbal assault because I had the temerity to call out Robin Boyce on her mendacity and fraud. I could provide a colorful litany of her actions, but suffice it to say that it involved a lot of obscene finger, hip and hand gestures. Incidentally, her staff just sat there like dummies the entire time and let it all happen. Apparently they don't have an issue working for such a repulsive woman. Prior to my dealings with her, Robin was verbally abusive to my contractor on multiple occasions as well when he asked her about delayed deliverables. Following is an example of one the few correspondences between him and Robin that isn't littered with her F-bombs: "Shut up. Stop talking. Don't tell me what to do. Its not Maureen... its you. I'm surprised guys take your mouth, and the way you talk down to others; I suspect you've been punched a few times." This is the first---and I hope last--bad review I ever had to write. Let this brutally honest review serve as a public service announcement to warn others away from this troublemaker. Do not hire Design Center West. You will pay a premium for sloppy, mediocre results, and the owner will curse you when you express your dissatisfaction. This has been a yearlong nightmare that only ended after I hired someone else to fix all of her mistakes. Caveat emptor!

Even during the pandemic she has been on top of things and instructing me to get things ordered prior to shipment delays. She and her team have been responsible, proactive, and truly professional.

Any mistakes (Fedex dropped a vanity and it cracked) were handled quickly and replaced at no cost to me. Her attention to detail is incredible. Additionally, she was very focused on saving me money and making sure I was not buying things I did not need. It has been a true pleasure working with Robin and her team again. I cannot say enough good things about them!

We were selling my Mom's house, and knew that we had to stage multiple rooms to attract the right buyer. It was a bit of a challenge, given that it was an older home, built in 1910, and had wood paneling in some of the rooms. After doing a walk-through, we exchanged some design ideas with Dan, and came up with a plan. We were fine with just letting him choose the color schemes, the types of furniture for each room, and the layout. The furniture/artwork showed very well in pictures, which is key for sites like Zillow, etc. Dan and Don were very quick to respond to our messages, which was a huge relief, since we were managing the sale from 1,000 miles away! Thanks to this staging company, we were able to sell our childhood home in Needham, which has been in our family for over 45 years.
