I'm wondering if anyone has tried Levelor AND Bali and
can tell whether there is a difference in strength and quality? I
checked Consumer Reports, but couldn't find any info there.

After visiting a friend who'd installed genuine wood blinds by Bali in
her living room, and being very impressed by their beauty, I ordered
some for my bedroom. These are Bali's one-inch real, not faux, wood
blinds, and they are absolutely top notch. The blinds come with a
matching wood valance that slides over the top mount. A nice
additional touch.

Expensive, but worth it. I've had them for six years now.

Second this. We don't have wood blinds, but have both aluminum mini's
and cellular shades from Bali and they are top notch. On both types
we went with the cord-free system and I highly recommend it. No
unsightly cords hanging down and getting tangled in stuff.

We've had some for years and they look and operate like new (although
I admit we don't fuss with them much).

We mostly by from Steve's blinds and wallpaper and have been very
happy with their service and fast delivery. But get the measurements
right and if you have any doubt about the color, order a sample first
because they are not returnable unless faulty.
