Absolutely love these curtains. I had previously bought another size in white for bedroom windows which I loved. They do let more light in but only because they’re white. These as you can see do filter light a great deal. I recently had a bird fly into my window and broke the glass so I wanted something darker to cut down on outside reflection off the glass. The color is rich and the material is good quality and heavier than I expected. They look expensive but were very reasonably priced. Some reviews complained about wrinkles but I put them separately in the dryer on wrinkle release with a bounce wrinkle sheet and the wrinkles were gone. I am very happy with them.I’ve had blackout curtains before that had an almost thin foam backing in the back of curtains which worked for blocking light but after washing them the foam part would start to break down. I also never liked the way that they felt. These curtains are so much better! There’s no weird foamy material on them. The material alone is enough to keep the room quite dark. They’re a soft, silky type of fabric and hang very nicely. They were creased from being packaged but I used a fabric steamer and the creases came right out. My husband jokes that I’m a vampire because I need a completely dark room to sleep and these most definitely do the job!My S/O works nightshift, we needed some blackout curtains so they could sleep during the day. The quality is OKAY, but for the price its definitely great! Replaced the old blinds that are hard to move around with these curtains, and its a drastic difference. Black matched our room pretty well, don't know how well white blackout curtains work or where to get some, but the black curtains weren't bad. Overall 9/10 for good blocking of light, ratio of quality to price is awesome. Buy them if you are on a budget or don't want to spend too much.The photo is during 1:30pm when it might be most bright during the day for us. I really appreciate having these in the mornings and even afternoon for our toddler. Without them it would be much brighter and harder to do nap time. Creates a nice dim/dark environment for relaxing sleep.These blackout curtains are really great. They block 100% of the light from coming in my window that faces the morning sun. They are made of quality material and have a nice feel to them. Highly recommended.Quite impressed. Material looks nice. Size appears as advertised. Appears reasonably well sewn. And hard to beat the price. But for one thing, I would have given them 5 stars. Rod pocket is just a bit small. We use these where we slide them open during the day and closed at night. But they won't slide on the rod because the pockets are just a bit small. Fit over the rod okay but tighten as we try to slide them aside. Still, all in all nice and blackout appears very effective.You can tell the fabric is excellent quality just by touching. Color is perfect. Completely blocks all outside light from the window, which helps on those night shift days. Highly recommended!!!I had thought about purchasing blackout curtains over the years & I finally did. Why I waited so long is beyond me. I was hoping for a solid blackout curtain that literally blocks out the sunlight & these do just that. I purchased the black color option & I think the darker color helps with the blocking as well. It's a pretty heavy-duty material that is not see throughSo I took my time to research blackout blinds. I am a night worker. So for me these are highly valuable for my lifestyle. If I don't get my proper sleep, I'm a mess.So after researching I came to find nicetown are a leading brand for blinds. So I measure up and make the orderI was expecting to get branded curtains. And I got ones sent from China that did not block the light. They were not branded. Came in plastic packaging and were of no use to anyone. Not even me.Be careful guys. I instead brought myself another pair from amazon that are not branded. Please see image of the new pairAs promised great black out curtains, for those of us, who has to sleep during the day. Same as for the black ones.Pic was taken at 1:05pm. South facing windows. Light comes in the two windows and makes the television hard to see. Now we haven't got that problem since putting them up. They are very basic curtains, nothing fancy at all, but if you're in need of light blocking curtains these are it.. I removed a star because I was sent one new pair and one used pair. They were packaged totally different and the one that was packed bunched up without cardboard insert has 2 runs in it. Thankfully these are just in the tv room. I didn't want the hassle of going to the post office and waiting for a new set.I picked up this curtain set on Prime Day, thinking it was a great deal. I'm very disappointed.I have purchased other brands, and the quality is significantly worse for this set. I noticed this just picking it up, that's it's a lot lighter than others. The material is very thin. While it's soft to the touch (the only reason it got 2 stars), but there's no way there's 3 layers of material in this. Light goes through without any problems. To say it has any thermal or light blocking is bending the truth significantly. I could hang a towel and it would have better blocking properties.The look of the drapes are cheap. The top is just folded over and sewed, leaving a rough way to put a rod through. Unlike others who at least use a metal ring/grommet which keeps a nice weave shape when opened or closed. I can already see opening and closing over time will wear out the top, and the drapes will need to be discarded.Package doesn't come with tie backs either, but to be fair it wasn't in the listing.For a few dollars more, go with a better brand that has better quality, looks, and tie backs.I really like these curtains. I was pleasantly surprised with how nice they were once I got them hung up. I had a set of chocolate brown curtains from Walmart and purchase these to match them as I couldn't find the same ones I already had. I ended up liking these ones so much more that I ordered another set and got rid of the Walmart ones. The texture is very sheer and smooth. The wrinkles came out overnight and they lay very nicely. They also are truly blackout curtains which is why I purchased them for a nursery.
