Question: is everyone still using mini blinds in turns?

Question: is everyone still using mini blinds in turns? Once upon a time I was a DH at Home Depot, and I'm pondering roller shades. Anyone else doing this?

I literally just had this conversation with my maint guy last week. I loathe the mini blinds. But I'm also not sure roller shades would be more affordable. Id like them more of course.

The price wasn't CRAZY higher at Lowe's...

Erik McKinster I should ask my boss. Honestly, I feel like in the end they would have less of a chance of getting ruined.

Kathi Marie that’s what I was thinking. Boss seems to think the edges curl. I don’t remember that when I was a kid

The consideration should be made here that a mini-blind will provide your female residents with more privacy, and therefore SECURITY. Roller shades are all or nothing. A mini-blind can be adjusted to the degree of privacy the resident desires/needs. When I lived in Houston, I ALWAYS chose an upstairs apartment, for the extra security (female living alone). If I viewed an apartment I was considering renting that had roller blinds (even an upstairs apartment), it would be a deal breaker, no ifs ands or buts. Keep in mind that you (the author) are a male of our species, and sometimes it is difficult for men to comprehend how much more consideration for our own safety is involved in the daily lives of most women, than men would even think of. Yes, mini-blinds are a headache to repeatedly replace. But I'm still sticking with them.

M.A. Cumbie interesting take. Thank you

We use minis at all of our properties.
