Amazing
These curtains were amazing, they compliment my gray furniture very well, they are well made, and look very high quality for the price, so so glad I purchased these curtains I bought 9 of these thats how many windows my living room has, so the price made it easy to purchase so many.

DO NOT BUY!! NOT BLACKOUT!!
These are not blackout curtains. Including photo of two panels. Sunlight shining through the patio doors, and as you can see, no light coming through panel on left - NOT WALMART BRAND - and the walmart brand on the right, sunlight coming through, as is the heat. The other brand also keeps heat out and was only $7.99 more a panel. I learned my lesson!

    Darker Than Expected
    These curtains are nice. They are a little darker than I expected based on the photo and they let in more light than other blackout curtains I've used in the past but they work.

    Nice curtains for the price
    These are nice curtains for the price. They do block out the light. I love the color. They do have wrinkles from being folded in the package and 1 of the 6 panels I purchased has a pin sized hole which is noticeable since the light can show through it. I had already thrown away the packaging so couldn't return.

    Not blackout curtains at all
    These are just regular curtains. There's no additional panel or anything. It makes the room slightly darker (picture was taken on a cloudy evening), but I don't know where they got the name “blackout curtains.” Will definitely be returning.

    Great inexpensive curtains
    These curtains do a great job of darkening the room, and provide privacy As you can't see through them from me outside. It was easy to iron out the package wrinkles. I bought a 63 inch pair, which I had to trim o and hem to fit a shorter window. They look great.

    Blackout with multiple panels
    These curtains are the right color, material and length. However, you will have to purchase multiple curtains for the blackout effect while keeping it classy. My 36inch window took 5(40 inch) panels to achieve the blackout needed. The wrinkles came out fairly well when I used a basic iron with full steam.

    Darke and more gray than expected
    These curtains are very lightweight, they wave in a light breeze, but do darken the room. I am disappointed to find they are darker than I thought and actually gray rather than the off-white/cream as I expected, the photos and description did throw me off. The pattern is lovely, however, and for the price, I'm keeping them mostly because I am eager to see how they work in the peak of summer against the sun. I have 4 hanging over a huge window that gets direct sun all afternoon/evening. I'm not expecting miracles but hoping that it helps block out enough of the sun to prevent some of the heat build-up and give my AC a chance.

    Great results
    Like the mid century mod look. I used two panels which are keep to the right and left of the patio window but in the afternoon when sun comes under the awning both panels are moved to the sunny side. They filter the sun nicely did not need to cover window for privacy as window look out on ravine woods.

    NOT Blackout!
    I bought these for the baby's room for blackout purposes as shown. They are NOT blackout! I'd say light filtering. Another set of curtains I'll have to return! Picture was taken during an overcast day in January with my 2” wood blinds closed and look at all that light! Can't imagine how bad they would be on a sunny day. I gave 3 stars because of good quality otherwise.

    Nice but not 90% blocking
    nice curtains for the price. The issue i have is the package says 90% light blocking but i would put this at about 60% at best. Just don't get too excited thinking you are getting close to blackout curtains and you might like these.

    Not blackout curtains!! Cheap too
    Not black out! Cheap curtains, had a stain/discolored spots on them (see picture). Thread missing. You get what you paid for cheap curtains. The only thing I liked about them was the colors

    No blackout at all
    There are no blackout at all, I have to put on an all dark brown in the back in order to block the sunlight. I didn't return them because the color matches with my couch. But don't buy this curtains if you are looking to block the sunlight. I took those pictures at 6:00am, a cloudy day.

    NOT BLACKOUT
    Not blackout at all. Maybe “light filtering” would be a better description. Will be returning.

    Awesome Curtains
    I bought these curtains to replace my sons old ones. His room is very bright and the old curtains woke him up. These are not only the perfect pop of color needed for his room but they are great at blocking out the light. They are not totally black out curtains but they shield about 85% of the light out. FYI I bought these in the 94 length by mistake. The length of 84 would have been perfect but all in all this was a great buy.

    Durable and Affordable
    So affordable and the quality is amazing. We bought 4 sets and they help keep our bedroom cool. They feel so soft and are also durable. Also love the way they mix grey color with other softer colors like blue and beige. The grommets make these black out curtains look really expensive. I would highly recommend buying these for your home.

    They're fine for the price
    I have these for an east facing slider. They aren't complete blackout panels but do a pretty good job. I haven't seen any difference on the thermal side; my house temperatures have not changed with the curtains. It might be a little warmer around the doors (it's winter) than my previous ones but the room temp stays the same. They are very soft & the color is accurate. While they're 40" in width, the way the fold/hang is it's more like 35-36" extended. Further, the three panels I purchased are approximately 81-82" not 84" (they are also not even-in-length with each other); I've not only measured them, but I hung them with 84" sheers for reference which are definitely 2-3" longer. The 1st photo is an afternoon shot (no sun) showing the length & a darker non-expanded panel. The second was taken mid-morning. You can see the shadow of the porch. I haven't washed them but the instructions say Machine Wash Cold, Gentle cycle, only non-chlorine bleach, tumble dry low, cool iron if needed. The width & length not being true to form is disappointing, but they will do for now for the price. Other sites have them at a higher cost which I definitely would not pay.

    Excellent value
    I love these drapes. They are stylish and sophisticated, and look as if they cost much more than I paid. The fabric is elegant - soft but strong - and provide the room darkening factor I was hoping for. The grommets made hanging them a breeze. I would not hesitate to recommend these drapes to others - in fact, I have already done so.
