These were exactly what I was looking for. Not a sheer or shiny fabric, it's a thick cloth fabric which looks more expensive and it's definitely blackout. Love them! I will buy more around my house as needed!Curtains are blackout they do keep sunlight out. However, what I don't like is the texture.They look nice and I think they will keep out sun and heat from sun.I use these curtains in my living room because my other curtains were see-through, I wish I would’ve ordered two more! They are elegant but not to fancy. Really great price for the qualityThese curtains are amazing! They look great and the quality is exceptional.These curtains are horrible, let’s start off with that! I have never in my life seen curtains that don’t move on a windy day. I mean these curtains are stiffer than a dead persons fingers & toes. I waited too long to use them and the return window had closed. Maybe I’ll just use them as a tarp for my car. Shop around before considering these, the color was exactly what I was looking for but geeesh the rest of the curtain was a total disappointment.these aren’t too bad either, a little too tweedy/rough for us but, they are in a bedroom so no big deal. They do block out sunlight well but, like most of these types of curtains that have big circles you put through rod, it allows sunlight there so does not totally block out light.. pink color is a bit on dull side, not a true pink. navy blue color is nice.Got these to cover a large window over our front door. It does a great job of blocking out the light and most importantly the heat when the sun is beating down since our house gets pretty hot in the summer. These will be our summer mainstays and will use the sheerer ones in the winter when light is more important.
