Their price point is pretty low. I've only ordered the basic fabric blackout shades from them, and the quality was excellent. They don't carry the spring-loaded type; only the one with the chain to raise and lower. If you are really on a budget try Overstock.com. Though I didn't actually order any yet they have an ever-changing selection of nice looking shades sometimes dirt-cheap. On the fringe: that sounds like a very easy project if it is too hard or too spendy to find a fringed shade you like. Get a plain one and glue on the fridge. Voila.

Other companies that sell window shades sell them. And, I also think you can get plain white or ivory ones with fringe at most hardware stores. Bottom line: They are around.
