Very poorly, I’ve spent thousands of dollars and my custom drapes are laughable. I shiner have paid for them until they made them right. I’ve waited over a month and no one has come out. Go elsewhere.

Go with Lachina if you want to wait months to hear the blinds you ordered were discontinued, then wait a few more months to find out the factory, "automatically cancelled your order." You can call over and over and get a different excuse each time. Just don't expect a call back or someone with a pulse.

Had interior decorator come out going on a month now. The company then turned around and had a gentleman measure our windows which was three weeks ago and have not heard from this company . They did deposit half the check we gave them and of this morning called the company and said the interior decorator and the measuring gentlemen need to talk but this is been a month and very very upset with the process

Was told 8 weeks for delivery. After 12 weeks with no updates, my wife called to ask about our order status. The woman who responded was extremely rude and insulting to her, and on top of that she didn't even resolve the situation. At 14 weeks, with still no progress on our order, and after I'd made multiple attempts to contact the business this time (no way my wife was willing to call anymore), I left a message with secretary cancelling our order and forgoing our deposit. There are businesses more deserving of your money out there - I cannot in good conscience recommend Lachina. They definitely don't seem to value paying customers!

Awful experience. Replacing blinds that were broken with exact same thing, sizes printed right on the blinds but the inept help ordered the wrong size more than once. Also forgot to place orders, further delaying deliver. Start to finish was over 7 months. Terrible follow up, did not call when they said they would. Some of the most unintelligent people I have ever dealt with.

The sheers were beautiful. Just make sure you know up-front that there is an installation fee. I was not told this at time of purchase and my new sheers were literally dropped off at my house. To my surprise they were not installed nor was I left with hooks to hang them. Found out after the fact that installation is a separate service; separate fee. Had to purchase hooks on my own and hang them myself which took hours. Employees Pam and Harold, however, were very professional.

The cushions and valance finally arrived either at the end of December or the beginning of January. The cushions did not fit the chairs at all. The quality of the workmanship was very very poor. Aside from being a couple of inches too big for the chair, the piping went from thin to thick and was seamed in the middle of the front of the cushions. Where the cushion was turned, the hand stitching looked like a first grader did it. There were loose threads hanging everywhere. Aside from that, the fabric was hideous. The designer had suggested the fabric because she felt the colors matched well. She was looking at a small swatch. The trim on the valance was made from a completely different fabric that I had never seen and did not match anything. I kept calling but was told the owner's brother died. Then I was told the designer had a stroke. The designer finally came out. When she entered my kitchen she said, "Oh that's not good." I showed her the cushions and she said I didn't have to convince her. She could see the problems. I kept calling and finally the owner set up a call between herself, the designer and me. They wanted to do the cushions again. The workmanship was so poor I was not anxious for them to do the cushions. I also told her the fabric was hideous. She said, "Didn't you pick it." The designer stated we picked it together. I relented and said they could do the cushions with a new fabric. I wasn't thrilled with the valance but it wasn't nearly as bad as the cushions. She said the designer would check her schedule and they would call me back because she was just returning to work. More months passed and I called. I spoke to the owner and told her I wanted a full refund and did not want to keep the valance. I had been waiting since the first of September and didn't want to deal with them anymore. I had been waiting for her to call me and she never did. She told me - I was suppose to call her!!! Why would they be waiting for me to call??? The owner has refused to take the valance back and refund my money. The length of time was they had me waiting for 4 cushions and a valance was ridiculous. The workmanship was so so poor. Twenty + years ago Lachina did most of the drapes in my house. They were beautiful. Obviously, it is not the same company. I will never have them do any work for me again.
Description of Work: Designer came out to my home around 9/1/2015 and suggested a fabric for a set of cushions for 2 chairs in my kitchen and a valance. I placed the order 9/1/2015. I had to keep calling because I did not hear from them. After 3 months, it became apparent to me they never ordered the materials because the designer asked me what the materials were.

Use luchina twice, first time one window was not correctly measured. I moved had them again, and when blinds arrived, one was again the wrong size. I got a call from the salesperson who sais she measured correctly who took the order over the phone in Mexico messed up. Called and spoke to a person about the fact this happened twice, I hate moving lamps and furniture etc, what are you going to do for me, well they did nothing. This is a very high price company, and I foolishly thought they would knock like 10% off, but nothing was done to make me ever go back. And do business with them.

Description of Work: They made a custom daybed cover for a twin size bed and they covered two large bolster pillows. The fabric is beautiful, as well as the workmanship. I had thought that for a twin size bed (3 sides for the cover only), that the price might be a bit less expensive.

Things did not go well. When I called Lachina Drapery to set up the appointment for a consultation, I had indicated that we weren't sure what we wanted, but were considering the possibility of Shutters for our windows. Michelle showed up promptly for our meeting and said, "I understand that you are looking at Shutters". Since we set up the appointment, we had realized that shutters weren't a good option, so we told her that and we were interested in some less expensive options such as pleated shades or roller blinds, which are not that inexpensive either. First thing she did was to look at our old window coverings and started to talk bad about the product and how she thought that the piece that was attached to our door was not very nice and questioned why they would tell us to do this. First of all, we liked what was done and didn't appreciate her unprofessional comments. After we sat down and looked at some options, Michelle seemed very disinterested in helping us. She said that she was tired because she was at an appointment until 8:30 the night before. Guess what...I was tired too, but I still put on a happy face and was pleasant. Michelle did suggest that we could do some of the options that we wanted, but it would look much better with drapery around it. I'm sure it would, but that is not what we wanted. First of all, it almost tripled the price and we weren't getting the look that we wanted. I'm sure they do great work, but we felt that unless we were going to spend $1,000 on each window, they didn't really want our business. Too bad, because we have some ongoing things that we need to get done over the next 12 months and they could have had that business too if all worked out well.
Description of Work: We had asked to get a quote on some window coverings for our family room windows and Lachina had sent out Michelle to provide us some assistance.

Response from LACHINA DRAPERY
I arrived promptly on time at [member name removed] home. I introduced myself with, “Hi. I’m Michelle from Lachina Draperies.” They introduced themselves and said they did not know what they wanted. They did not have the resources or want to spend a lot of money on new window treatments because they spent a lot on Roman Shades that they purchased through an Interior Design company 10 years ago. I said, “Well, let‘s see the room so I can get a feel for it.” I said, “My call report said you were interested in Plantation Shutters.” They quickly dismissed this as they had gone to a website and researched this type of window treatment and thought it would cut out too much sun. I agreed and stated that they are also the most expensive product. At that point [member name removed] asked me if I was a designer and I replied, “Yes, I have a degree in Interior Design and have been with Lachina Drapery 14 years.” They asked me if we would repair the Roman Shades. I said we are custom house and do not repair other people’s work. [member name removed] said, “That’s what they said on the phone.” I asked where [member name removed] who made them and why they could not repair them. They replied they were out of business. At that time they stated that they were considering Pleated Shades as they are the least expensive treatment in that style. I also suggested Roller Shades. Companies make beautiful solar shades. I told them that I have them in my house. I brought both sample books into their house. My quotes to them were: - 4 pleated shades $1,302.74, installed - 4 roller shades $1,250.34, installed I never suggested draperies as the windows are narrow (33” across) and would cut out all the light and are more expensive than the above. In order to “decorate” the room, I suggested a neutral Pleated Shade or Roller Shade with decorative cornices ($1,638.00) plus shades. As you can see that does not triple the cost. My quote was not $1,000.00 per window. They did mention the door which has a mock Roman Valance. I said we would mount the valance higher as Lachina Drapery would never mount it so low. I had to bend down to look out the door. Window treatments should lift the eye, not block the view. That was the only statement I made about their treatments. It was to be instructive, not critical. Their Roman Shades were beautiful other than the fact they were no longer functional. At this time I began to get the impression that the [member name removed] were not interested in my expertise as they appeared uninterested in anything that I had to offer or suggest. My opinion is that they were only interested in having their current Roman Shades repaired by Lachina Drapery. I felt a dismissive attitude regarding my talent and professionalism. After looking at our options for an hour I said to [member name removed], “Perhaps you should think about what you want to budget for your window treatments.” [member name removed] replied, “We have no budget that we want to spend on these windows.” Near the end of the appointment I yawned and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t get home until 8:30 last night from an appointment. I am a little tired. Why don’t you think about it and decide what is best for you.” Lachina Drapery is a professional and long established business. They have a good reputation and I do my best to continue this tradition.

Everything went perfectly. Lisa Lachina returned my call immediately and met with me shortly after. She had a general idea what I was looking for based on our phone conversation and she came with many samples that were exactly what I was looking for. As soon as the order came in she promptly scheduled the installation. The installer was polite, neat and took pride in doing a terrific job for me. I was extremely pleased with the service and product. I love my new drapes. Would definitely hire again and recommend to family and friends.

All went well...the turnaround was approximately 5 weeks so very pleased. The color matches perfectly with the walls; the fabric was as expected (what we picked); the installer was quick and efficient. He shared 'care' tips with my husband who was there at installation. They hang beautifully!!! I would recommend!!!
Description of Work: We had visited the Lachina showroom and arranged for someone to come out and measure, bring samples. That happened February 1st and we selected fabric for and contracted for two sets of custom drapes to be made, one for the living room and one for the dining room.

they came to look at our window promptly, took measurements, the installation was super prompt and the men were lovely and polite and tidy. i called the next day, after i saw how it looked, to have them take it down. they said someone would call me immediately. no one has. now i've got to call them again. a nuisance. i didn't ask them to credit me for a different shade, since it was custom. but they didn't apologize when i politely explained that the shade is unacceptable. i find this aspect of their service unfortunate. i'll never use them again.
Description of Work: I ordered a pleated shade for the window on our landing. I only saw a small-size sample of the shade. the sample looked fine; but when the shade came, it was ugly and cheap-looking. the material it's made of is thin, and splotchy-looking, so that, especially at night, it looks unevenly colored. it looks terrible. i just want them to take it away.

I requested a quote for 2 windows dining room & livingroom. The windows are wide but nothing nonstandard or ridiculous. Including a cornice with the drapes and sheers without new rods, the quote was $6,700 dollars. I could not believe the price! Oh, by the way, this was with a 10% discount. Right! Least I forget, the cost included 2 throw pillow at no charge. The sales person later phoned to communicate I could receive another 10% discount.
