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.

    I’ve never understood why they had more than 1 string for a set of blinds, it’s not like anybody wants to raise only one corner of it?

    My experience has been that stringless blinds are the Landlord Special of window covering, they suck ass and barely raise up if you don’t get the individual “blades” perfectly horizontal.

      The two strings is so that you can keep them level when one side inevitably wears slightly longer than the other.
