Well a lot of problems have been solved with the introduction of cordless roman shade to the delight of a myriad of homeowners who liked the look of romans but could not stand the constant fidgeting with the cords to keep them even.

Here are my top five reasons why I love the new cordless roman shades:

1.Cordless Romans Are Safe.

At least once a month on the nightly news you here about a young child hanging themselves with a blind cord. It's tragic that it has to be this way since it's a simple remedy. For most blinds the technology has been around for awhile, for roman shades this is the first year that the option has been available.

Around the first of the year Levolor introduced the cordless option. Now roman shades are safe for little children to play around. What a relief to know that your children and grandchildren won't be tempted by a cord hanging there to tantalize them.

2.Cordless Romans Look Great.

That dumb and dangerous cord is gone for good. With the cordless roman shade you get a clean look that accentuates the fabric pattern and the workmanship of the roman shade not the cord hanging there. You want to show off your roman shade not the cord!

3.Cordless roman shades are easy to use.

In the center of the bottom bar there is a hard plastic tab that you grasp with your fingers. Grasping this tab you move your hand up or down and the roman shade follows.

They use a spring gear to cause this to happen very smoothly, just like cutting soft cheese. No more trying to grab the cord in the right spot, you just grab this little tab and do your thing.

4.These cordless beauties are never crooked they always stay level.

One of the biggest drawbacks to roman blinds has been trying to keep the shade straight. Sometimes it would seem like it was impossible to keep the shade straight.

The cord lock was the reason for this nightmare. The cords would not lock in the cogs at the same time, making it almost impossible to hang straight.

Now with the cordless roman shade it's always straight. The best part is it stays in that spot till you want to raise or lower it and it is always level.

5.Cordless Roman Shades Are The Bomb!

They are just cool to use, look like a million dollars and are child safe. Now how can you beat that. The only way would be for the other fabricators of roman shades to get on the cordless bandwagon and make their roman shades child safe.
