    When I learned that they were Hunter Douglas dealers, I walked into United Decorators (Paul & Dalia Sajovits) off the street and dealt with Dalia, who is a sweet and aesthetically talented lady. We discussed my options, she gave me an admittedly overly generous - but totally unsolicited (I'm a shopkeeper's dream; I don't ask for anything...just pay the price - discount, and I placed my order. The next day, Paul came to to measure my windows, and from the second he walked through my door he presented himself as a total boor: * He disrespected my home and treated me like dirt. * He talked down on Dalia's having given me the discount in a tone of voice - he literally snarled - that might have befit his worst enemy, but was totally inappropriate as respects his own wife/business partner. After my shades had been installed it became apparent that he had measured two of my windows incorrectly, because one shade fits too tightly (Pics 1&2), and one has got way too much space on either end (Pics 3&4). (Pics 0&00 are of the shade that was apparently measured correctly.) And compounding his nastiness and incompetent measuring job, he cheated me out of the discount Dalia had given me by sending me less expensive shades than those I had ordered and paid for. I'm sorry, but a deal is a deal, and even if Dalia made a lousy one, Paul was obligated to honor it as a respectable businessman would have done. I was quite taken aback when Dalia told me she liked the idea of opaque shades because "[she] wouldn't have to see [her] husband in the morning," but having met and dealt with him, I fully sympathize with her. And to add insult to injury, the $125/3 shades "professional installer" may as well have stayed home: he ignored both my instructions and the installation and functionality options that make Hunter Douglas shades the quality product they are, and he left me with an assortment of misplaced screws, missing screws, and empty screw holes in my walls. Needless to say, having experienced Paul's attitude, I didn't waste any time or emotional energy pursuing a remedy, so as nice as my shades are, I'll never fully enjoy them, because I get a bad taste in my mouth every time I look at them. I'd love to recommend Dalia, but her association with Paul precludes me from doing so. THERE ARE ANY NUMBER OF HUNTER DOUGLAS DEALERS OTHER THAN UNITED DECORATORS IN NYC; I VERY STRONGLY URGE YOU TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO ONE OF THEM!

    Paul of United Decorators is simply gem. I was searching for someone to make a balloon shade with inverted pleats for my kitchen window and United Decorators fabricated one which surpass all my expectations! I am so pleased with my shade. Paul came to my home and took measurements, discussed different styles and placement. The end result is beautiful!

    I decided to have my 50+ year sofa recovered with United. Sofa came out amazing. Not only beautiful but extremely comfortable and supportive. https://s3-media4.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/RdK5Dezo6f_rjBkPhaqtKg/168s.jpg

As such, we wanted a window treatment option that would allow us to block the bottom portion of the windows but not block a lot of light. During our search for a solution, we visited most of the NYC's big-name window treatment stores. We didn't great customer service, and the options were extremely expensive. Most didn't offer or recommend shutters, only fabric/motorized shades - not the look that we were going for. I'm glad I called Aart - they arrived promptly to measure and explain how they could build out the shutters in a way that would allow me to still access the windows for cleaning. Not only are the shutters the "look" that I want, they came in at a better value than the shade options I explored. The installation was quick, easy and I'm really pleased with the results. It also means a lot, especially now, to support a local, family business that does great work.

So many people were satisfied. Murat came over and took the measurements and then returned that evening with a blackout shade for the bedroom as I had strong sunlight streaming in. The installation was expertly done and they are just beautiful and well made! Also, I am feeling a big difference in temperature now versus the old shade that was hanging in living room. I would not hesitate to recommend The Best Shades to anyone who is looking for window treatments....

I've used The Best Shades twice over the years. Both times, they were excellent. The first time was to install nearly 9ft wide shade across 3 panels of continuous windows. Other shade companies told me I had to break it apart into two parts because of the way shades are manufactured but Marat thought of an idea to select fabrics that look good horizontally and vertically so that the wide shade can be made horizontally. Great idea and great execution. The second job was to replace all the rest of the shades in our apartment. I didn't think twice to call Marat again. Efficient, professional, well priced and kind staff (my toddler insisted on peeking in during the install in each room and the team was very sweet to her).

This guys are highly skilled and professional. No pressure, no sweet talking like at other places we went before. Everything happened pretty fast since their catalogs covered everything we needed to see. Always wanted to do some changes in the house and decided to start with window treatment. We ordered very delicate sash curtain to filter light and from much heavier fabric over-decorative drapery and drapery drop. One of the important part was a swags. I didn't want them to be too long to cover some beauty of drapes, but at the sane time I didn't want them to be trimmed too short to look like a taylor safe on my fabric. Next part was a hardware, which they had tones of differed variety, to match the rod to the style of the drapery, to the type of windows and the general décor of the room. Tiebacks was the other important thing for presentation, since we don't have high ceilings and heavy tiebacks will attract entire attention from the drapes and make them look shorter then they actually are. After the order was placed few weeks later the installers arrived. They were very professional and completed the installation pretty quick. It look beautiful just like in the catalog! Elegant but reach looking drapes show off each and every unique detail of ordered design. Absolutely recommend them to family and friends.

    On September 2nd I entered into an agreement with Mari O'Connor, sales representative for Sue and…read moreTrevor Pinto of Budget Blinds of Mid-Lower Manhattan, to have smart motorized shades installed in our apartment. During the sales process Mari stated Budget Blinds affiliate brand Inspired Shades would function exactly like the more expensive non-affiliated Lutron brand. Specifically, Mari had inspected our current Lutron set-up with a single hub hidden from sight and told me Inspired Shades would work exactly as the Lutron accessories in our apartment do. Based on this information I paid $2500 for the Inspired Shades. At time of installation on September 28th the blinds did not work through a remote or app. The professional installers informed me they typically have issues with Inspired Shades and we should have purchased Lutron. The installers left the apartment with the blinds not working through the app and instead of providing one remote as promised at time of purchase, each blind needed its own remote next to the blind to function. The installers came a second time on September 30th and suggested we place multiple receivers in plain sight around the apartment in an effort to get the blinds to work. I specified the receivers must be hidden but were willing to try it to see if it worked. The installer still could not manage to get all the blinds to work even with receivers in plain sight. That same day I was told I could replace the Inspired Shades with Lutron, although I would only receive a $1995 credit towards the purchase vs the $2500 I had already paid. I offered to pay the difference between the $2500 I had already paid and the cost to fabricate new Lutron blinds. Mari declined and suggested the installers come a third time. On December 7th the installers came to the apartment a third time. At this point the apartment had been rented so the installers were disturbing our renters in the process. The installers proceeded to place a hub in plain sight on the kitchen counter and put 2 signal repeaters in outlets next to the blinds. One of the outlets was a single plug high voltage outlet designed for our air conditioning. Our apartment was recently gut renovated with many available outlets, but this outlet was closest to the bedroom blind. The installers unplugged the air conditioning and placed a signal repeater in that outlet rendering our air conditioning unit useless. The installers did not set up a multi-channel remote in the process. Mari wrote later that day and claimed the shades "are all functioning properly". I was sold a product that would function with a single remote or through a phone app with a hub hidden in the same place we have a hubs for our other smart home appliances. What was delivered was a product that does not work as advertised. In simple terms, I paid for a product I did not receive. Our apartment is less than 700 sq ft and all 3 windows are on the same wall. The desired location for the hub is less than 15ft from any one blind motor. Mari cited electronic interference as the reason the hub would not reach the blinds, even though none of our other smart home appliances have this issue. I have tried to solve this by offering to pay for the difference in the Inspired Shades and Lutron. I have also dedicated significant time with Budget Blinds trying to get Inspired shades to work. As a last resort I tried to involve the corporate office on 12.8 and was promptly told they could not help. Bottom line, stay far away unless you are willing to risk the same treatment.

Larry contacted me right away to schedule an appointment to measure and show me some samples. He was right on time and very knowledgeable of the product. Sue Pinto, the owner, processed my order, navigated the paperwork requirements for my coop with ease, and provided my delivery updates along the way. And David, the installer, was respectful of my property and did a great job with the installation. I could not be happier and highly recommend Budget Blinds of Midtown-Manhattan for your window covering needs.
