I ordered these in white and I thought they'd be a bit thicker but look neat and clean none the less.  It was exactly what I needed for my home.  HOWEVER, while I was unpacking them and hanging them up I noticed a terrible skunky smell.. couldn't figure out what it was (thought it was my husbands feet!) and then realized it was the blinds.  I don't know what it was but I had to wipe them all down and the smell eventually dissipated.
