No exaggeration, this is truly one of the most shockingly bad experiences I've had with a business…read more I'm a contract lawyer, so I've seen some crazy business practices in my days. This comes at the top. Here's the story. I needed shades repaired. Basic work: a few shades don't come all the way up. I called this company and they said they could get the job done. However, it would require that they take my blinds so that they could repair them on site. They said it would take 7-14 days to repair. I triple-checked the time because my windows would be completely exposed during that time and I would have no privacy. They assured me that the maximum amount of time would be 14 days but it likely would not be nearly that long. Ok, great. Last week of May: they came on a Monday to pick up my shades (for an extra $100). They told me that my total would be about $400 and they would reach out to schedule a time to drop them off sometime the following week. June 12: I get a call saying they're ready and we schedule a time for them to be dropped off. It's over the two weeks they initially quoted but only by a few days--no biggie. June 13: I get a call saying that they made a mistake--they need a few more days to work on the blinds. I was bummed, but what can you do? A few days came and went and I never hear back from them so the following week I call for an update. They transfer me to Al who says there's a delay because they're working on getting a part they need to fix the blinds. I ask him to keep me updated because at this point I've had no window coverings (hence, no privacy) for over 3 weeks and I want to be sure that my order doesn't fall through the cracks. He says he would be sure to update me following week. Two weeks go by, I hear nothing. So I called, and left a voicemail. No return call. After a few days I called again. Once again, no answer or return call. About 10 days later, on July 15, someone calls and says that my shades are ready. I ask her if they're willing to take something off the cost, considering they they initially told me that they'd have my blinds back to me within 2 weeks and we're now well over 6 weeks. She said she'd talk to a manager and call me back later that day. Of course, she didn't. Two days later on July 17th, someone different calls and again says my blinds are ready. Again, I ask about the discount for the inconvenience. She says, "Al told us that he talked to you yesterday and told you that's not possible." I told her that no one told me that and that I did not speak with Al yesterday. It had been a month since we spoke. Not only would they not offer a discount for their delay, but she also told me that I must now pay an additional $130 above the quoted price for parts! She said her notes said that someone called me and I approved the extra $130 for parts. I certainly did not. She says she'll get Al to call me. Al calls me 10 minutes later and within 45 seconds of him calling, he says, direct quote: "I don't have time to talk to you. You should be happy that we repaired these. Do you want your shades back or not? Either you're going to pay the new price, or I'm going to take your shades apart and you'll have to come pick them up." Wooow! I told him I was shocked that he was talking to me like this, especially since I'm the one who has been inconvenienced. He responds, "I'm shocked that you're not more grateful. Do you want your shades back or not? I don't have time for this." Not only was he not apologetic for taking more than TRIPLE the amount of time quoted, never updating me as he said he would, and not returning my calls, but he's shocked that I'm not more grateful? What?! I told him that I'd come pick up my shades. He said that he'd need two days to "unrepair" them. Meaning that, out of spite, he was going to spend two days working to undo the work he did so that my blinds would be unusable. And only then would he return them. It's petty, small, counterproductive and obviously, horrible customer service. Learn from my mistake: stay away from this business.

It can be tough to impress an A-type personality such as myself - my extreme attention to detail…read morecan drive myself and others a little crazy. I preface with this so readers understand that this review is coming from a tough judge! I received a couple of quotes from local companies when searching for window coverings. I called Anion after reading a stellar review from a colleague of mine (we are real estate brokers at the same brokerage, so our sphere is always sharing referrals for home-based projects). Each person I dealt with at Anion impressed me, starting with the very first phone call and ending with installation. Anion is a family-ran business, offering a noticeably more personable customer experience than dealing with larger big-name companies. They also provided me with the most competitive quote. Lucas came by for my original quote. I had only a very vague idea of what I wanted -- but he seemed to know exactly what I was trying to convey. He knows his stuff. He brought samples of several types of options, giving me the ability to confidently move forward. And - when I obsessed over the many shades of white options (ha) for a certain window covering, he so graciously agreed to come back with his swatches a second time to be sure I was getting just what I wanted. My installation could not have gone more smoothly, either. Rob is a true professional with an eye as precise as mine. He was enjoyable to speak with and I immediately knew I was in good hands! He has been installing window coverings for several years and it shows. He went the extra mile in more than one way and - though very efficient with time - I never felt the work was being rushed. I ended up with exactly what I was looking - really pleased. I can refer friends, family & clients alike to Anion with confidence.

While going through samples, they were attentive and engaged. You can tell they are passionate about their business. Their quote was reasonable compared to other large shade companies and their products look great. Install crew was careful and skilled. We noticed one of the valences was damaged (most likely directly from the manufacturer) so they ordered a replacement for us with no hassle. Molly and the rest of the staff had great communication and were very personable during this whole process. It's nice to see that from a company.
