Rae Natural Jute Woven Wood Roller Shades Cordless Review: Full Spec Verdict

Here’s the spec line that does most of the work on this one. Twenty-two woven wood styles, one 60% filtering shading rate across the entire range, and one custom-liner ladder that lifts the same shade from 60% all the way to 96-100% blackout if you want it to. The base lands at $129.98 per shade, the bracket is no-drill for widths 18 to 50 inches, and the valance comes built in at 6 inches. That is the Rae Natural Jute woven wood roller, condensed.

Two Pages files this collection under their woven wood roller lineup, distinct from their roman shades and motorized smart shades. If you want the wider landscape on weave grains, liner choices, and the difference between roller, roman, and motorized woven wood lift systems, our complete bamboo and woven wood shades guide walks the whole pillar.

Quick Verdict

Where I land after walking the full catalog, the Trustpilot stream, and three cart simulations is this. The Rae Natural Jute roller is the deepest woven wood color catalog at sub-$150 entry on the Two Pages site, and the custom-liner ladder is what unlocks the bedroom use case the standard 60% shading can’t quite cover on its own.

Quick Verdict

4.4 / 5

The deepest woven wood color catalog at sub-$150 entry, with a custom-liner ladder that turns a 60 percent filtering shade into a 96-100 percent blackout when the room asks for it. Held back by an honest day-shadow disclosure on the unlined option and a fraying risk on naked edges without binding.

What the score really says: color and value are excellent, light control is honest rather than dominant, build sits on the right side of the price tier. That tension between the strong color story and the conditional light story is the whole review in one sentence. Pricing is where it gets interesting next.

Pricing by Configuration: From $129.98 to $259.98 in 3 Real Carts

Translation, in actual dollar terms: $129.98 is the floor, not the ceiling. The configurator on the Two Pages product page returns final price as soon as you set width, style (H001 through H022), and optional liner. The spread between a small unlined kitchen window and a wide blackout-lined bedroom shade is roughly two times, not five.

Three factors drive the cost: width (under 50 inches keeps the no-drill bracket, above forces ceiling-anchor logic), liner choice (unlined is free, privacy adds modestly, blackout adds more), and the optional edge binding upgrade for long-term durability. Outside-mount orders also ship with matching side covers by default, no improvisation needed.

The math on the promo code matters. A 2-shade bedroom order at $199.98 each lands at $399.96 gross, drops to $319.97 with EARTH20, and ships free because it cleared $300. That is roughly the same dollar zone as a single ready-made roller shade from a department store, with materially better fiber and a custom liner.

If EARTH20 is the wrong fit for your timing, the sitewide JULY code runs at the same 20% rate on most Two Pages collections. Stack the math against your cart total before checkout.

Use Case Fit: Where Rae Jute Wins, Where It Doesn’t

This shade earns its keep in three rooms before any other. Rentals where drilling into the trim is a deposit question, because the no-drill bracket lifts that whole conversation off the table for widths up to 50 inches. Rooms with kids or pets, because the cordless lift removes the dangling-loop risk that the Window Covering Safety Council cordless-by-default standard has been pushing as the residential default. Homes where the buyer is looking for a natural-fiber aesthetic at a price point that does not require Pinterest-celebrity money.

Now, where I’d steer you away. If you want a true bedroom blackout and you are not willing to add the liner, this is the wrong shade because the standard 60% will let early morning light through. If your window is wider than 50 inches and you can’t host a ceiling-anchor install, you are pushing the no-drill envelope. And if you are a dollar-strict ready-made buyer who just wants something off the shelf, the made-to-order lead time will frustrate you. Be honest with yourself on those three flags before clicking through.

Drape & Finish: How 22 Material Blends Behave at 60% Shading

Sixty percent filtering reads warmer in person than it does as a number. Imagine the moment you draw the shade at 7am and the room stays soft rather than dark, with the weave catching the angle of the sun and turning it into texture on the wall behind you. That is the look the Rae jute roller is built around. The standard shading does not block sun, it edits it.

Rae Natural Jute Hemp Grass H007 ramie weave grain detail
Hemp Grass H007 reads as the warmest green in the catalog. The weave grain is dense enough to disappear visually from across a room and become a real texture detail up close.

The custom liner ladder is what gives the collection real range. The same H-style picks up the liner you choose at the configurator step, so you can run unlined in the kitchen, privacy in the home office, and blackout in the bedroom, and have the three windows read as a single visual family. That continuity is rarer than it sounds at this price point.

Honestly, on paper the liner is a checkbox. In practice it is the spec that quietly does the most for the buyer who has more than one room to dress.

๐ŸชŸ Custom Liner Ladder

One shade, three rooms it can become

Unlined

60% shading

Maximum daylight + texture. Best for living rooms, kitchens, dining. May cast slight day shadows.

Privacy Liner

50-75% shading

Daytime privacy without losing the woven aesthetic. Best for home offices and street-facing bedrooms.

Blackout Liner

96-100% shading

Bedroom-grade light block. Adds roughly $50-70 to the base depending on width. Sleep-room workhorse.

The same H-style picks up the liner you choose at order time. No need to swap shades to change rooms.

Color & Style Range: 22 Looks Across 5 Visual Families

The 22-style depth is the headline feature, and it breaks into five visual families. Warm beiges run H001 Angora through H006 White Brown. Cool greys cover H003, H008 Fantasy Grayish Blue, H016 Fine Rain, and H019 Fantasy Grey. Greens span H007 Hemp Grass, H013 Paper Green, H015 Spring Meadow, and H018 Fantasy Muted Green. Blues sit at H004 Blue Grey and H011 Dawn Blue. Blacks land on H009 Fantasy Black and H014 Sky Black. Two stripes close the catalog at H021 and H022.

Real weave grain reads more textured than a flat color swatch can show. Order free samples before committing to a style.

The picking logic that works in practice is light direction first, warmth goal second. South- and west-facing rooms tolerate the cooler greys and blues without going cold, because the strong direct sun keeps the room warm regardless. North- and east-facing rooms benefit from the warm beiges (H001 through H006) and the warmer greens (H007, H020) to compensate for the cooler ambient light.

Rae Natural Jute Fantasy Black H009 dark woven roller shade
Fantasy Black H009 is the darkest filtering style in the catalog, frequently picked for home offices and media rooms when the buyer wants dark mood without committing to a blackout liner.

Specs Deep-Dive: Materials, Mount Depth, No-Drill Bracket

Cards on the table: not every style in the H-range is 100 percent jute. The catalog names the collection Rae Natural Jute, but the weave actually rotates through ramie, jute, and bamboo blends depending on the style number. That is not a defect, it is what gives the catalog its color depth. Pure jute alone tops out around six or seven distinct tones. Bringing ramie and bamboo into the blend is what gets the catalog to twenty-two. If “100% jute” is your hill, this is not your shade, and the catalog page on the official Rae Natural Jute product page on twopagescurtains.com calls out the blend logic in the materials block.

The no-drill bracket is one of the under-sold features of the Rae Natural Jute woven wood roller collection. It ships standard for widths 18 to 50 inches and lets you mount inside or outside without a drill, which makes the renter use case dramatically less stressful. For inside mount, order width is casing width minus 3/8 inch. For outside mount, add 2 to 4 inches over the frame width to control light gaps, and the matching side covers come included.

๐Ÿ“ Measure for inside mount: width minus 3/8 inch

Inside mount needs the order width set at casing width minus 3/8 inch. That tolerance is what lets the no-drill bracket sit clean against the frame without binding. Outside mount is the opposite logic, add 2 to 4 inches over the frame width to control light gaps. The catalog ships matching side covers with outside-mount orders by default, so you do not have to improvise a side reveal. Measure at the top, middle and bottom of the window opening and use the smallest of the three.

Construction reads as hand-cut to order, with a built-in 6 inch valance that hides the roller barrel and the lift hardware. When the shade is raised, it forms neat, even pleats across the full width. Owner photos from the Trustpilot stream consistently show the pleat symmetry as a quiet win, which is the kind of detail you only notice when it fails on a cheaper roller.

Striped Grey H021 is one of the two striped weaves (H021 grey, H022 white). The linear visual rhythm reads stronger in mid-afternoon light than in early morning.

Pros, Cons & What Buyers Actually Say

โš–๏ธ Pros & Cons

Rae Natural Jute Cordless, summarised

โœ… Strengths

  • 22-style color catalog: ramie, jute, bamboo blends across warm beiges, cool greys, blacks and two stripes
  • Custom liner ladder takes the same shade from 60% filtering to 96-100% blackout
  • Cordless lift, child- and pet-safe by default (no dangling pulls)
  • No-drill bracket included for widths 18-50 inches: renter-friendly
  • Hand-cut with a built-in 6 inch valance for a clean tailored top
  • Outside mount ships with matching side covers (no improvisation)

โš ๏ธ Trade-offs

  • Standard 60% shading is not blackout: bedroom use needs the liner add-on
  • Unlined styles may cast slight day shadows (catalog-disclosed)
  • Edge binding is an extra cost: skip it and the weave can fray over years
  • Widths above 50 inches lose the no-drill bracket and need ceiling-anchor install
  • Made-to-order lead time longer than ready-made roller shades
  • 22-style depth is a feature when you know what you want, a paralysis trap when you don’t (order samples first)

Buyers back the catalog read. Trustpilot 4.5/5 across 5,000+ verified reviews for the Two Pages brand as a whole, with recurring praise themes that map directly to this collection: color fidelity from catalog photo to arrived shade, the weave grain texture reading richer in person than on screen, and the cordless lift mechanism running smooth even after months of daily use.

Rae Natural Jute Snowy White H012 partially raised showing pleats
When raised, the Rae roller forms neat, even pleats. Owner reviews consistently praise the symmetry of the fold across the full width.

The criticism cluster is honest and small. Owners who skipped the edge binding upgrade report minor fraying after a year or two on high-traffic windows. Owners who picked unlined for a bedroom regret the day-shadow disclosure once they live with it. Both flags are in the catalog before checkout, so they read more as configurator-choice misses than as product failures.

FAQ

Are Rae Natural Jute woven wood roller shades blackout?

No, not at the standard setting. Every style in the 22-color range ships at 60% filtering shading by default. Two Pages offers an optional blackout liner add-on (96-100% shading) at the configurator step, which is what turns the same shade into a bedroom-grade light block. Owners who want a true blackout install pick the liner upgrade and budget the small upcharge into their cart. If you skip the liner, expect daylight to filter through the weave with a warm tone, especially in the lighter H-styles like Snowy White H012, White Khaki H005, and Light Stone H010.

What inside-mount depth does the no-drill bracket need?

The no-drill bracket included with widths 18 to 50 inches sits at the top of the window casing, so deep recessed frames work best. The catalog does not publish a strict minimum depth, but owner reports and the spec sheet point to roughly 2 to 3 inches of inside mount depth being safe. For shallow frames, switch to outside mount, which adds 2 to 4 inches over the frame width and ships with matching side covers by default. Outside mount also clears the way for the matching valance to land clean above the window.

How much does the blackout liner add to the base $129.98?

The blackout liner upcharge varies with shade width, but cart-simulation runs across the 22 styles consistently return roughly $40 to $70 over the unlined base for standard residential widths (30 to 50 inches). A 42 inch wide bedroom shade with blackout liner lands in the $199 to $220 range, depending on the H-style picked. The code EARTH20 applies 20% off across the collection, including the liner add-on.

Will the unlined version cast shadows during the day?

The catalog disclosure is honest: “Unlined shades may cast slight day shadows.” In practice, this shows up as a faint silhouette of the headrail hardware on the window-side wall during direct midday sun. It is not a defect, it is a function of the woven wood letting some light through at 60% shading. If the room is east- or west-facing and the shadow bothers you, the privacy liner (50-75% shading) cuts it without going full blackout. North-facing rooms rarely show it at all.

Are these shades safe for kids and pets?

Yes. The cordless lift is the safer option by default, since there is no dangling cord loop within reach. This aligns with the Window Covering Safety Council cordless-by-default standard for residential installs. For very tall windows (above 80 inches), the catalog recommends the corded option for smooth reach, which reintroduces a cord and asks for the included safety buckle to be fixed to the wall.

How do I prevent fraying on the woven edges?

Add edge binding at order time. The catalog discloses that natural woven shades without edge binding may show minor fraying over time, and the edge binding option (a thin matching tape sewn along the side edges of the shade) is the durability hedge. The upcharge is modest and worth it on shades that will live in high-traffic windows like the kitchen, mudroom, or kids room. Dust the shades regularly with a soft brush, spot clean only, and avoid wet cleaning that could swell the natural fibers.

Final Verdict

Rae Natural Jute Fantasy Coconut H020 warm beige roller shade in bedroom
Fantasy Coconut H020 reads as the warmest beige in the catalog. With a blackout liner add-on, this is the bedroom workhorse pick across the range.

Don’t overthink it. The Rae Natural Jute Woven Wood Roller Shades Cordless is the right call when you want natural-fiber texture across multiple rooms, a renter-friendly no-drill bracket, the optionality to take the same shade from 60 percent filtering to 96-100 percent blackout via the liner ladder, and a 22-style catalog deep enough that you can land your exact warm-versus-cool, light-versus-dark target without compromising. Order samples first if the color stakes are high. Pick the blackout liner if the room is a bedroom. Add edge binding if the window sees high traffic. From there, the configurator handles the rest at $129.98 base, EARTH20 for 20% off, and free shipping the moment you cross $300 on a two-shade order. 4.4 out of 5, and the strongest pick in its slot of the Two Pages woven wood lineup.
