AWA Natural did a great job with the blinds.
We gave them a week to make them, as we weren't back in the area for 7 nights, however I think that they need about 2-3 days to fill an order. We took up the measurements in mm and they worked out really well.
There is only one problem, which is not AWA's fault - the measurements that we gave them were the window sizes exactly and we have a bay window, so there is no room in between each window to allow for the top frame of the blind. Each blind itself is the correct dimensions for each window, but the wooden pole at the top that holds up the blind is slightly wider and we will need to trim them down to make them fit. I was after a canvas type of material, but they had lovely woven natural looking fabric there and I liked that better. They did say that they could dye it a different colour, but I liked the black and the natural colours that were there.I would suggest that you visit them on Day 1 and then you will have plenty of time for them to finish. For the price, I could not be happier and I will be able to make adjustments myself for the bay window. The lining cost no extra, which was a bonus and it does block out the sun, so means I can nap during the day in our new room!
Hope that helps.
cheers,
