You have to work within your budget. If your not looking for something fancy then they would be ok. Some of the issues you might have are cord lock failure. Where the shade won't stay up and Cell seperation. I would also check blinds.com. You should be able to get a custom shade for the same price.

Just looked on blinds.com. A 72x72 at Lowes is $107.00. The same one at blinds.com is $198.00. Is it worth the price difference? We don't have kids or cats to abuse the blinds, but I also don't want the Lowes blinds to fail in 2 months and leave me with hole-y blinds.

I've never bought cellular blinds, but I did purchase all my 2" faux wood blinds at Home Depot and haven't had the first problem after 15 years. They are the standard white.

I really like those faux wood blinds too but my windows face West and I need something to block the heat/light.
