You won't believe how dark these will make a room! Put these curtains in an extremely warm room in the house with tall windows. It makes a huge difference! Plus, they look really nice. Love them!PROs: absolutely blackout, great value for a blackout curtain. First pic shows you cannot see street lights through them.CONs: I think they must be lined in black, they have a very cool gray hue. The subsequent photos are them next to a white curtain (white on left) and laying on a white bedspread.Overall, had to return them because the trim, bedding, and sheer second curtain layer are all white and it doesn’t match. It’s a shame because these are a great value for blackout thickness and long length. I found them easy to slide on rod and would’ve kept them if they were truly white.I loved it loved it loved itItem matched the pictures. Only issue was how hard it is to open and close these curtains. The fabric does not slide easily on a curtain rod so I ended up having to yank hard to open and close these. Other then that curtains were great quality and completely blacked out the room.These are very nice insulated curtains that block out the light very well. I'm sleeping in much better now that I've hung these. The material and stitching are both high quality as well. We're pretty happy with these.Nice curtains. Affordable priced. I have a cocktail and a cat and I find myself often swiping or dusting off feathers, cat hair and other small odd particulates from these curtains. I did not have this problem with the previous set of drapes these newer ones replaced.These were a sour if the moment purchase and it couldn’t have been better. Great price and great quality. I would recommend these curtainsI purchased the curtains in burgundy for my bedroom and am so pleased to find they are actually effective in keeping the room dark unlike my old room "darkening" curtains which tons of light got through. (See pictures for both.) The only place any light gets in is at the top where my curtain rod creates a gap between the window and the curtain but that isn't the curtains fault. Also, the material feels durable and good quality.
