Color Disclaimer Please be sure to order samples before placing your order. Monitor colors vary dramatically by manufacturer and lighting environment you're in. For this reason, we cannot honor our satisfaction guarantee on colors for those who did not previously order color samples. Due to the variances in the wood's natural color, grain, etc. each dye lot will vary for any of the stained wood products. These variances are minimal, but there is no way to assure the exact color of stained wood blinds. If you are ordering multiple blinds we strongly recommend that you order all of them at the same time to ensure they come from the same dye lot and will match one another. Sample colors may also vary slightly as our samples may come from different dye lots than the blinds you receive. Free Shipping Shipping is Free on all orders under approx. 90 inches. Orders 90 inches and over may incur an oversize handling fee. Free shipping only to the continental 48 United States. Terms And Conditions 1.
