The wood blinds I bought from HomeDepot smell so stink
|
Mar 2, 2008 Home Depot complaint by Tree |
I bought the 2" wood blinds from Home Depot a month ago for my kitchen and living room. It smells so bad, obviously a lot of chemicals was emitted. I was thinking let it vent for a couple of days and the smell will go away. But almost a month has passed, the smell is still so strong. It doesn't help even by openning the window. I can not believe Home Depot can sell products like this. I am wondering if this kind of product has to pass certain test to be in the US market. I mean the chemical vapor test. I really want to return the blinds, but I am not sure how difficult to deal with the service people in the Home Depot. Totally disappointed by the quality of product, unbelievable.

Thanks! Mine were the white painted blinds. I was able to get my money back from Home Depot even after they blinds were in for 2 months. I couldn't take the smell anymore - it was especially bad when exposed to heat or sunlight. They'd never heard of this - but were fine with the return since it was within the 90 day window - store bought and I installed/uninstalled and repacked. So glad I kept the original box! I ended up getting the faux wood - not quite as nice but my nose is much happier!

Yes EJ I did get my money back from this retarded company called 3d.
It took Months, but I got my money back and some drunk installer came out to my house to take the blinds out. made a mess, now I am having this 3d paint my walls for free.. Will NEVER shop at the HOMe DepoT again..Shop at the Bay Had a better experience.

I have the same problem with the horribly smelly blinds. I really love the look of them, but it awful - and such a weird odor. Any luck with your return?

Why didn't you simply return them upon realizing they smelled? I'm betting it will be almost impossible to return those smelly blinds after you've had them installed in your home for a month or so.

SEND THOSE SMELLY BLINDS BACK TO HOME DEPOT AND THE SALESPERSON THAT SOLD THEM TO YOU. GET YOUR MONEY BACK AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. DON'T BY BLINDS OR SHUTTERS FROM THE HOMEDEPOT. THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DELIVER S**T.

read your article on the smelly blinds, If you are unhappy with the crap that they sell,send them back, get your money back. Don't have smelly blinds in your house. Doesn't Home Depot back the products they sell. Make sure that you spread the word about the crappy,smelly blinds.
