Okay, so I read a LOT of the reviews here both before and after purchasing these drapes. I decided to give them a go, and when they came I was appalled by how cheap they seemed and re-read all the reviews. I called customer service and got a return number, and when I saw it was good for ten days I decided to give them a shake in the meantime. I've been pleasantly surprised and will in fact be keeping the curtains. Most reviewers seemed to have a few points of contention - the feel of the fabric, the drapery care (washing, ironing, wrinkles) and the length. Here's what I found. 1. The feel of the fabric - yes, it feels a little like plastic when you take them out of the bag. However, I washed them with woolite on the delicate cycle with some fabric softener, and when they come out the curtains are noticably softer with a much nicer drape. Give it a try. 2. A few people said the liner peeled away when they washed them. I don't know exactly how they washed theirs, but I wonder if they failed to unfold them completely or something before throwing them in because I didn't have any problem at all. However, washing alone does not take out the wrinkles. And, as a previous reviewer commented, good luck using a cool iron. I live in the midwest in a humid climate and it's cold outside right now, if any of that matters, but I put my iron on high when the drapes came out of the wash and ironed them wet to get the wrinkles out. I mean really, you can't leave the iron sitting in one spot forever or you might melt the backing, but that's not rocket science. Just use common sense and keep it moving, and they iron out fine. 3. I haven't measured the length, sorry. But we use curtain rings on our rod so being exactly 84 wasn't a big deal. We just hung the rods so they brushed the floor. I did see a few people mention curtains being longer than their sheers and have to throw out there I had that happen once and it's because I ironed my sheers. They stretch easily. Maybe that was the problem because these drapes are exactly the same length as the curtains we had here before. All in all I think they're great for the price. I would have like to have stepped up a level to the ones that are the same color on both sides, but we needed enough of these that the price difference would have been over $100. I'd probably try these again in another room if we needed them. Anyway, bottom line is I think a lot of the people writing negative reviews here either typed them up immediately after pulling them out of the packaging, or they did something wrong. Properly cared for these have a nice drape and are really not that bad.
I live in Las Vegas, NV and get the morning sun in my bedroom, I needed these to sleep. After putting them up I was able to get more and better sleep, and they also save on my utilities. My place is cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. I really do like these curtains and recommend them to anyone who needs to black out the room for relaxation or to keep out the noise of the outside world.
I bought these for south facing windows in Ms. After hanging them the temp in my living room in the afternoon dropped noticably. I am anxious to see what they do for the cold damp of the winter here on the river. I saw where people posted that these looked like shower curtains. Mine were a very good quality and are just beautiful. they were well made, a nice weight and a great color...looked just like the photo. I sew and looked into making these curtains and there is NO WAY I could make these for twice that. Shipping was so fast and cheap.
I like these curtains, both the color and quality were exactly what I expected. They have keep the room dark and cool, it being summer when I bought them. I am anxious to see if it improves the temperature in the winter. I had never shopped at Overstock and am now hooked.
I really like these curtains! They are made out of great material. They look nice, etc.....but they are not black out curtains. I bought them thinking they were black out curtains; they do block out most of the light and some noise. I would recommend them if you want something that will block most of the light, but if you want your room dark these are not the curtain for you. Also, as a side note these are the second pair of curtain I get from Overstock. The first pair I had to return because I measured the windows wrong, but I just want to say that returning them was super easy! I had my money back 2 days after they received my return!
The curtain is great for blocking out unwanted bright sunlight. I had to get the chocolate color in order to block out the light. Seems to be of good quality material but I haven"t washed it yet to be sure.
I bought these for south facing windows after blinds and other curtains failed. This room was just hot, hot, hot, the AC did not do a good job either. So far the temperatures are not as high, but I hope they will prevent some of the heat settling in the room. Contrary to other reviews mine did not have wrinkles at all after unpacking and I could hang them immediately. Good product for a great price.
These curtains made a difference during cold weather. The dining room was less drafty. The color could have been better, but the shade still worked with the room so I kept them.
I bought these to block out the light right outside my bedroom window. It says it will block out 99% of light, unfortunately I do not find that to be the case, more like 70%. I got the natural color so maybe a darker color would block the light better. However, I really like the curtains. I put them in the dryer on delicate for 10 minutes and the wrinkles from being in a small box disappeared. The fabric is just fine, its not like they are being used as a blanket and the price is right. I am going to keep them and add something behind them to help block the light better. Great buy.
I was afraid of what I would get but was just blown away when I received the product. The first set I ordered was too dark for the room I ordered them for but looked great in the bedroom. I ordered a second set for my family room and they look awesome. Plus, the insulating part is what I really wanted them for. They look great on the window and they will serve to keeping my utility bill down.....I hope.
