Ignore the reviews that complain about long delivery time if you're ordering the faux wood or upvc shutters. I bought the faux wood ones and they were delivered within two weeks. The faux wood ones are brilliant and look very classy. They were easy to fit; anybody with basic DIY skills and a modicum of common sense could fit them. I was a bit concerned when they arrived without instructions, but once I looked at them, it was obvious what went where. The only blip was that one shutter had a hinge missing and others had no hinge pin, but, once contacted, California Shutters were quick to correct and very apologetic; great customer service. I bought the cafe style ones which only had three sides to the frame, so they needed some careful handling. Probably not to be recommended, but I fitted mine using CT1 builders adhesive (not the screws provided), which meant I could manoeuvre them around to get them in exactly the right position before holding them in place with masking tape until the adhesive set; it made them an absolute doddle to fit, but, I did ensure that the glass for the window could be refitted from the outside if I needed to replace any glass. I had to fit mine in a bay window to aluminium frames, and there was very little leeway to be sure of using the screws correctly, so I thought the use of CT1 was a good compromise (they are stuck fast). My wife was over the moon with them when she returned home (I didn't tell her that I'd ordered them, it was a surprise). California Shutters' online videos were very helpful too, for the initial measuring up before ordering (they fit perfectly) as well as the actual fitting. All in all, a great buy. Cost a bit, but you get what you pay for!
