As blackout curtains, they are solid and work very well - however it was NOT obvious in the photos or description that there were alphabet letters all over the curtains; also the silvery shine of the design was a surprise. From the photos it looked more matte.Like the other purchaser, undecided if we will keep; would be a 5 star easily if it didn't have the letters all over it lol. Don't know what they were thinking.Very well made room darkening curtains. exactly as advertised. we love them.They are beautifulThe room stays dark and they look great up!The curtains are of nice quality. They look nice enough to be in the living room if it wasn't so many alphabets on the curtains. I put mine in the family room. If you want to upgrade your child's room buy these curtains. Please note the alphabets cover the whole curtains nicely.Very fast shipping! And good quality.Updated: I placed a shear curtain over the blackout drapes.LOVE IT.Like the quality of drapes. Don’t know whether to love or hate the big alpha letters in the design. If I was a educator it would be acceptable without a doubt. Undecided if I will keep. Minus the alphabet it would be a five star. I did not see or understand the description and pictures showing a design that’s actually alphabet. The seller need to be more descriptive explaining the product to the customer. Mixed feelings.We hung these in a bedroom where light had been an issue. They definitely were easy to hang on a standard curtain rod (what was available), and we immediately noticed the different in light blocking. These worked very well. In fact, adjustment had to be made to make sure there was no oversleeping because of lack of natural light in the mornings! The curtains are also very attractive, hang well and smoothly, and brush clean easily.
