This is great I bought this to cover a small open space we have connecting my daughters built in room off our kitchen and these curtains are amazing! When were in the kitchen you cannot see the light shine through and if love the fact when she wakes up I can open them right up and see herI didn't read carefully enough to realize they have to be dry cleaned, but that was my omission. They are very nice, look good in my bedroom.What was delivered was not this light blue, it was a bit darker. I requested to return to 3rd party seller for a refund due to wrong color advertised.Blocks out all light! beautiful wine red/burgundy, and great thick qualityThey are stiff but over time the stiffness should go away I like that they are not completely blackout to where you still can get some light shining through the material I wish they where a little wider to fit my window a little better and the length of the curtains is perfect for my window overall is super happy with my purchaseI purchased two different sizes of these curtains in burgundy for the same room in my home. They arrived and are not the same color. I'm very disappointed!We wanted a curtain for a small window in a guest house that almost never gets used. We thought these would be a terrific buy for the price. We were mistaken. The curtains are cheap looking and feel worse--like the kind of water-repellant plastic that make up the worst budget motels' shower liners. We got white to let through as much light as possible while still keeping a handle on the light for any sleeping guests. The only positive thing we can say about these curtains is that the white/off-white offer a fair balance at letting some light through even when closed and yet preventing strong sunlight from disturbing sleepers.The curtain is so stiff that the two panels won't fold smoothly across the window. The result is something tacky and ugly--as if someone tried to force cardboard sheets to drape. It doesn't work. The curtain puckers awkwardly especially at the edges--threatening dwellers' privacy where the panels meet and at the edges of the window.We regret this buy and will likely return these for something else that drapes far more naturally and that isn't such an eyesore to look at.I have a kitchen garden window that faces the west and at dinner time, the sun is blinding when I’m trying to cook. I bought these and just slide them closed to cook when the sun is shining. Worked great.
