I'm very fond of these curtains. I purchased them mostly for their sound absorption properties for a room where musical instruments will be played. I've not yet tested them thoroughly in this regard, but it is clear that they do reduce some ricochet of sound. They work excellently as blackout curtains, and they certainly provide a thermal benefit. They are attractive and feel good to the touch. My approval would have been greater if, during shipment, they could've been folded in such a way that creases better corresponded with the natural "waves" in the curtains when hung.They are exactly what I wanted. Curtains have texture. Look very nice! Not too heavy but heavier than any other curtain I've ever hung. Total blackout. Keeps sun/heat out very well. We put a rod over my french doors and put these up. During the day, the curtains hang all the way to the right (2 panels only, more would be way too heavy without additional support).Great curtains, beautiful, soft to the touch, hang smooth. Color was like sample.The back fabric looks like the front!We can pull them in the middle of the day and the room is dark enough to sleepNot the wierd plastic feel of most black out curtains or ugly backing.Will be buying for other roomsThese blackout curtains are working well in my bedroom. They're a bit stiff and creased right out of the package, but I expect them to relax after time. The light purple/muted lavender color is perfect for my decor. Hasnt been cold here yet so not sure if they're good for keeping the cold out. A good buy.Using in my RV and its wonderful, easy to install and really keeps the light and noise out of the main cabinLove it!Nice color and block our light. Great quality!I had been planning to buy a different brand for cheaper but I went with these after using other curtains by this brand in a different room. They’re very nice, sturdy feeling curtains and the color is exactly what I wanted. They block light VERY well, and they don’t have that kind of gross plastic feeling layer on the back like many do. I ended up buying these curtains in various colors for every room!
