When we looked at samples we preferred the fake wood to the real wood (white painted). The fake wood showed a bit more grain and were also lighter (in weight) so you don't need as many vertical tapes.
We got a company (Kelly's Blinds) to measure and fit for the bay window which meant they looked integrated with the crappy plastic windows and made them look far better.

MDF is possibly better than wood for Venetian blinds in an older house. It’s more stable in the harsh conditions of a window (sun, radiators, condensation, draughts) etc. And if painted you can’t really tell the difference.
Real wood seems to be fine in a modern efficient home with double glazing though.

Blind saga continues.
Not getting racist ones now.
Anyone have any DECENT Venetian?
Assume all are made in china with cheap wood or MDF?
