I bought these for our bedroom. I didn’t want complete blackout curtains, but I did want to cut down on glare on the tv and computer screen. I wasn’t sure about the color, but I really like it. I couldn’t find many curtains that came in the 3 sizes of our bedroom windows. These made a huge difference in our room and they’re very pretty.First off, it’s hard to tell, but the picture is trying to show the minimal light that comes through. (It just looks like small white dots in the image). So I wouldn’t say these are 100% blackout. (We have a different brand in our bedroom that you can’t see through at all for my comparison). These are in my living room so I don’t have the true test, but it does make the area a lot darker.Great curtains for blocking the morning rays. Definitely look at the percentage of blackoutness given for each color! They all vary depending on the color of the curtain. I use it for my kids rooms to make sure they are not up at 530am. It also keeps the house coolerIt really does the job. Stops the heat from penetrating into the room. The material might not hold up to being washed but I haven’t tried as yet.My husband was skeptical but once I put them up they made a believer out of him. Not the prettiest but does the job. .Seems like a good quality. Blackout is really good. The thermal is in between the fabric which make it nice that it won't breakdown from sunlight.We have three very tall windows that let a lot of light in in the morning! We kept trying other solutions, but so glad we bought these curtains because they solved the problem! Our room is now dark in the morning! Then we just pull the curtains back for light during the day. They are a synthetic fabric, so most of the wrinkles fell out after hanging them. The color is nice too. Very happy with our purchase!Purchased these to black out my bedroom and they work perfectly. Ended up recommending them to two of my neighbors and they have been happy with the other colors also.I love these curtains. It's really hard to find curtains that are 45" in length and still look nice. The pictures I have added were all taken on the same day to show how much light is being blocked. The picture with the curtains fully closed are a little deceiving because t shows that light still gets in around the top and bottom, but I can assure you, the entire room looks fully dark. I wouldn't want the curtains to block out any more light than this, to be honest.Thanks to these curtains, I only wake up because my alarm goes off or I've already had enough sleep. I also bought the dark brown, greyish white, beige and dark grey. I've put the dark brown curtains in our guest room and it looks even darker in there than this room. If you want to block out more light, I suggest going with black or another dark colour.Turquoise colour looks amazing against my white walls and all the colours look true to the product images.I bought a pink shade, and they look so lovely that I decided to buy the turquoise as well. They block light decently, and are a steal for the price.My favorite feature is the grommets, opening and closing them is so easy, which is exactly what I wanted. And the colors with the fabric they used are vibrant and warm and soft looking.My least favorite thing was a small pick on the edge of the back of the curtain. Wasn't a big deal, and didn't bother me a whole lot- as I ended up buying more.It's worth the price.As soon as I got my package i put the curtains on right away & it made my room much darker then before. Sleeping is so much better no sun peeks through, especially now its summer the curtains make my room much cooler with the AC on.The material is so soft and silky!Overall, i highly recommend these curtains to anyone!I love itThey dont blackout at all. Yes, they are cheap and you can see it
