I called Ali couple of days before.He came with books of samples, measured up and gave me a quote. When I accepted it, he said it would take approx 1 week. He turned up on thursday as promised with 2 of his colleagues. I now have gorgeous curtains and roman Blinds for my windows and Sofa reupholstery. All I can say is thank you so much to the ladies who recommended him and I will also want to say that He is the best. Highly recommended My Pleasure Kavita. Hi, can I have his contact number? :)

[b'>ALI[/b'>. We have used him 3 times in the past 4 years. He is knowledgeable, courteous and very efficient as he comes to you with fabric books to help you choose in your own home. High quality, cost effective and speedy results.It was a fantastic experience. Such a lovely gentleman, always punctual and delivers when he says he will. I had Blackout blinds for my bedroom and for the hall i make chiffon curtains with some fancy velvet . The men who came all knew exactly what they were doing, and there were no surprises Cheers Cool

We have just moved for 3rd time in 3 years and used Sam from Easy blinds. He originally did our place in the marina, then lakes and now Jumeirah islands. Each time he comes to us to see what we can reuse and recycle, anything we can't he offers to buy back (so long it's in great condition). His company is by far the most professional outfit I've come across in Dubai. They are always on time, clean and very polite. The same staff come out to sell and the installation team are all the same everytime, so it's familiar trustworthy faces which is always nice. His number. I tell all my friends in Dubai that he is the go-to guy whenever it comes to blinds and curtains. He also did wallpaper for us this time too!

Just keep in mind curtains here all need to be cleaned after a while because of the sand - so I prefer some that can be washed - I have just washed mine - manually in the bath - they are just simple unbleached cotton. This is hard work but they look much better now! The sand ( and I am 20 stories high) eventually makes curtains sort of dark grey!

We had Ali come and do ours this Friday at short notice to fix our rail/cord. I was worried the kids were going to do themselves some damage! He's making us some blackout blinds for the babies' nursery as well, and offered fair prices. Cheers!

We just moved from the Marina over to the Lakes so needed to take our current blinds and curtains down and adjust as well as make new sets for the extra windows. I was recommended Sam from Easy Blinds through an earlier thread on here and they were as described. They are an English owned business and the service is truly European. On time, honest pricing and they do what they say they are going to do. A refreshing change after some companies I have had the misfortune of dealing with. I got his number from EPW but here it is for those of you who don't want to search. Company is called Easy Blinds But they do curtains too, and even helped put some new lights up whilst they were here. Hope it's of help Maria

My curtains have just gone up and I am really happy with the quality and service, all my friends used him too.I would definitely recommend him. Been using him for 6 years.It was a fantastic experience.He is knowledgeable, courteous and very efficient as he comes to you with fabric books to help you choose in your own home.He had some lovely samples, nice fittings and his installation team were very good. Highly Recommended. Yep, had him to make curtains when we moved and make roman blinds. Very good as always .Ali is very nice to deal with, will come to your place at a time to suit you. He is very busy but managed to complete the work in the time I'd specified. The quality of his blinds is excellent.Now no need to waste time with others.
