Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

    Do the vertical giant blinds count as regular blinds or are those the large version? Link

      Owning a set of these for my glass sliding door is probably why I’m in the habit of calling the ones in windows “miniblinds.”

      I hate those so much. Bougie and useless in my experience

          they can’t be that bougie, every apartment I’ve ever been in with a sliding door has those, and usually somewhere from 1 to 5 of the slats have broken off from normal operation

            You’ll never convince me that they’re not chosen for that reason. When the apartment falls to bits because of cheap components, they can retain the deposit.

        Bougie? I associate them with cheap shitty apartments.
