They're not exactly budget, but I just bought these TDBU woven bamboo shades (with blackout liners), and they are great quality. In case anyone wants TDBU but not honeycomb.

We got quotes from 3 day blinds and the costco one that comes with installation - graber maybe? The costco one was cheaper and we got 20% back with a costco card.

I got mine on amazon and they broke after a couple of years, no longer went up or down from top or bottom. We didn't move them much at all as they were in our bedroom

Weird mine got longer.

The only thing that has broken has been the clip on plastic handles and the first time, that fell within the 7 year warranty so they sent us new ones and the second time we bought some off of Amazon.

+1 for Budget Blinds.

Blinds.com and Selectblinds.com. Look for coupons.

what's simpler that allows light in from two ends?

Ours are somewhat fragile and prone to break. We have used Bali blinds free warranty repairs more than once. Next time we will buy simpler shades.

We have them all over our house, and haven't had any problems (lr ones are 15+ years old, kids rooms similar, we redid the basement about 9 years ago, offices maybe 7 years ago?)

Original ones are Hunter Douglas and we're $$$, after that, the rest were bought online through Steve's Blinds and Wallpaper (but they apparently didn't make it through the pandemic)

Home Depot had sales as much as 50% off.

I believe that's full service. In my last house, I ordered honeycomb top down/bottom up shades from JCPenny and installed them myself. They were great.

How did they get shorter? From which end or overall? Which brand?

Looked at Costco and prices were astronomical. Where can I get some manual TDBU honeycomb shades?
