Absolutely horrible experience! We paid extra to have our shades professionally measured and every single one of the five shades is the wrong size. I have sent two sets of measurements and a pro has c... See more

A tale of 2 shades

I’ve purchased 2 shades from Smith & Noble. Product selection is nice-looking, but limited.
Chain on solar shade I bought a couple (?) years ago, broke after @ 12 months. Also, bottom 6 inches of Solar shade (section which does not totally retract into “roller”) became discolored; l assumed it was my fault, b/c I smoke, but a contractor in my home for an unrelated job opined that the discoloration was due to sun damage…which seems odd for a “solar shade,” so who knows?
Hope the other shade (not solar) I bought last month fares better, as it cost almost twice as much as I expected!
I’ll probably order from them again though…Smith & Noble’s in-home customer service is excellent, even though product is only “OK.”

Strings on my cellular blinds that are in perfect condition broke. I live in San Francisco and not one blinds store has the part to replace. Contacted Smith and Noble to be told that they can’t do anything since it’s past the 5 year warranty.

Hello Anna. I am sorry to hear the cording broke on your cellular blinds. The cording is not covered any longer under our limited life-time warranty, as cording is covered for 5 years. I would like to see if there is anything we can do to assist you. We may be able to have the shade sent back be repaired. If you would like to purse this, please provide your full name, address and phone number so we can find the order in our system and see if we can assist in any way. Thank you.

Lousy customer service

Lousy customer service. Once youve had your product for 5 years there is NO customer service. You are on your own to change out motors and difficult to find replacements or anyone who can help install them. Buyer beware....... DO NOT USE THEM!!!!

The initial setup is fine but if you have any problems with your shades, you have to take them down and send them back and pay for the box (which means I would I would have to stay without shades for that time. They offered to send me paper shades in the meantime. When I went with them as a company, their representative said that they would fix any problems by sending someone out and that they would fix any issues (not just related to installation. Not worth the price for that follow up service. Go with another company.

Carol, I was able to find your order and it seems it was placed in 2020. Smith & Noble does provide installation services for new orders. The installation is covered for 1 year. If there are any adjustments needed that can be done in your home, we would do so. If it is more, than the shades would be sent back to the factory to address and correct the issue. We do stand by our products and all warranty issues would be covered under our Limited Lifetime Warranty policy.

Fabric and wood samples

I appreciate the courtesy and timeliness of service from Smith and Noble. As a small business owner, when ordering samples for custom interior design ideas, S&N have an amazing selection of fabrics, shades, drapes and other decor essentials. They never disappoint in quality or beauty.

See my original review posted on Feb. 16

See my original review posted on Feb. 16, 2023, and Management's response about a month later. Smith & Noble Customer Service is woefully incompetent. On March 14, after months of email conversations, they agreed to send us a refund for the poorly installed shutters on our kitchen bay window. To date--some six weeks later--we have received no such refund and no communication from Smith & Noble Customer Service representatives as to when we can expect it or why it is delayed. Original date of service was September 20, 2022. This is a horrible way to conduct business.

Hello Julianna, I am sorry that the Shutter was not correct. It does appear that one we did contact you in March. I will reach out to a Customer Care Manager to contact you so this can be finalized. Smith & Noble is committed to provided excellent customer service. I will see that you are reached.

Be aware of problems

the person who came out to my house did not measure correctly. Got wrong size 1st time. Second time they got it right. Product beads broke apart within months. I did contact you. Still waiting for the connector for the beads. I was told I could not use the blinds until I got the connectors. Still waiting for them. NEVER RECEIVED CONNECTORS it’s been over a month. You should be ashamed over lack of communications to your customers. Again you never sent connectors and it’s been months. I will never do business with you again.
