Your purchase there would be worth the price paid as their items are well cared for, and I feel are worth the cost. Their inventory consists of a unique variety of items also home goods too! If you are ever in the Lafayette area I highly recommend stopping by this amazing establishment. One would not be disappointed. I will add that the staff there is very friendly, and I myself have engaged in conversations with each of them simultaneously. These ladies are awesome, having dynamic personalities.

She said something that didn't make sense about it and I didn't think to check what she actually sold me until I was home. I was quite dismayed and shocked when I saw that she traded the beautiful item I selected for one of lesser quality. It was quite deceptive and I still can't believe she had the gall to do such a thing to an unsuspecting, paying customer. I will not trust that woman again. Buyer beware.

The entire store was also 25% off as per their end-of-year sale. They have a fantastic selection of cards, gifts, homewares, jewelry, accessories, and select clothing items. It's the perfect place to treat yourself or others. They're doing a great job limiting people in their store and have hand sanitizer available.

Ciera kindly offered to order me temporary paper shades to help cover the windows as I waited for our new ones to come in. The install was super smooth.

We received two quotes while shopping for shutters and 5 Star made the choice easy when they provided a lower price than a big box store, plus supporting a local family business was the cherry on top. We were notified yesterday our shutters had arrived and they were installed today. The Norman composite shutters we purchased are gorgeous and transformed our home. I cannot thank Jesse and Lacey enough for the thorough, professional, and respectful install today. We had family over during the installation, and one of our relatives plans on using 5 Star for their project. If you are like me and spend a lot of time researching before a purchase, do yourself a favor and call 5 Star Shutters & Blinds. You won't be disappointed.

He showed me the different fabric options and showed me which one he liked for the "handle" or the way it would look when mounted. He gave me an initial quote and I did not feel pressure to do anything until I was ready. Once ready, I contacted him and we transacted online mostly (which was very convenient for me). I had some questions about the new quote and called Brandon and he was available to speak and helped me with my questions. The delivery of the items came in different shipments (drapes and rings). Then the installation was scheduled online. I had email and phone reminders of when my installation will be. The installers (4 of them) came on time, were professional (pleasant, wore booties inside the house), and worked very well together to install the bar and drapes. They had good synergy. The first time around, the drapes were falling into the floor by at least 1". So they went back and reworked it so the drapes has clearance between the floor and they look great. The Shade Store is pricey but I like to think that I am supporting our local businesses and American-made products. I feel that the customers of the Shade Store would benefit if they have a colorist or a professional designer who would come out and give some recommendations on design, fabric & color. I would work with the Shade Store again for future needs.

We never opened any of the boxes, and recommend leaving that for the installer in case something is damaged.
