These curtains have seriously exceeded all my expectations of amazon-bought curtains. For one thing, they're really nice color and I didn't notice any smell like the others mentioned. They are also very thick and came with loops so it was ready to go and easy to install. But best of all they do a great job blocking out the light! I'm a medical professional & need to be able to sleep through the day - these do the trick! Love these curtains and would definitely buy them again.You can see the difference between the amount of light in my apartment during the middle of the day in the two pics I posted. I don't think the pic does it justice - it was doing night mode but those curtains make it really dark in there!These curtains are wonderful! They are such a good quality and work so well at keeping out the light! I was hesitant to purchase any black out curtains because the last time I bought them years ago they worked at keeping the light out but they were stiff and were basically the material of a plastic shower curtain on the inside of them. These are nothing like those. They look very luxurious and are soft but do a great job at keeping the light out and for a great price! Love them and would definitely buy them again.Was a little nervous about the quality but it blocks out enough light that we are able to sleep through the morning if we need toI really like these curtains. I love the material, almost like sailcloth. The color is perfect, and they are truly blackout. No sun and no heat! Yes, they come folded and getting the wrinkles out is a major job. I steam ironed and got 85% out. I would not spray water on the curtains as that discolored them somewhat. I have not washed them so don't how they will wash. For the money, I am really very happy with my purchase!!These look great with the sheer linen look white curtains alongside them! Would order again!I love these curtains! I’m going to order more. I’m super picky about quality and these curtains are truly the very best of their type and when you consider the reasonable price it’s a no brainer. I’m slowly replacing all of my curtains with these specific curtains. I have an older house with the original solid wood windows on the inside so it can be a bit drafty, these curtains actually make a difference room temperature wise both in the summer and winter. That’s not why I bought them. I bought them for black out purposes and they are true black out curtains. The lining allows for a nice, neutral and uinform look from the street. The fabric is high quality. The insulated side is just as well made as the front of the curtain. Highly recommended.Very heavy and I return it.Used in the bedroom for black out. Love them.These were so easy to put up. They are fully lined and really do block out light.Good quality, nice off white.
