I am addicted to velvet curtains, and I own several from different brands. This was my 1st time purchasing from BulBul, and I am 100% satisfied with the quality, price, and speedy delivery. These are ROOM DARKENING curtains, not 100% blackout curtains, and I’ve read a lot of reviews with less than 5 stars due to them not completely blocking the sun out (I wish buyers would actually read the entire description vs assuming? and then leaving negative reviews)! That said, they do a great job at blocking out a lot of sunlight, especially the darker the color. They’re a medium weight with just a slight touch of sheen (nothing gassy looking). They’re truly beautiful curtains in person. It’s hard to show their true color tone, but my taupe ones match the seller photos exactly.
