Shades: Grass, wood and reeds

Reviewed by:

Known more commonly as bamboo shades, these window coverings "roll up" into pleats. These handcrafted shades are woven from natural woods, reeds and grass, with a color-coordinated pull string.

The shades will block some light but not all. An optional blackout liner is offered if room darkening shades are needed.

Choose from 24 patterns and colors. Lead time is about seven days.

Roman Style Shades, Woven Wood come in a variety of sizes.

A shade 36" wide x 60" tall costs $58 (June 2006).
