I'm so happy with these blackout curtains! I ordered 2 sets for a large double wide window measuring 80" wide and hung them on a rod with matching clip-on rings, (also from Overstock,) that I extended to 106" wide. This creates the illusion of a much wider window and allows me to pull the curtains open and have the bulk of the fabric on either side without blocking the view. When the curtains are pulled closed there is still plenty of material to create soft folds across the window. This blocks about 95% of the light through this east-facing window.I bought the gray which is more of a blue-gray, as another reviewer mentioned. It works beautifully with my soft gray carpet even though there is no blue tone to the carpet color. The curtain fabric is the same color on both sides and has a somewhat heavy, yet soft, silky texture that drapes beautifully. I was surprised that the thread used was white, not gray, and the hem is just straight stitched, not a more hidden hem-stitch that I would have used if I made them myself. I thought that was going to be pretty noticeable but frankly, now that they are hung, it doesn't bother me enough to complain. I ironed them before hanging them, although they weren't overly wrinkled. Overall, the look is beautiful, they block the light effectively and I would definately buy them again at this great price.
I compared this product with 2 others sets of curtains from two major department stores. (one starts with "S" the other with a "K") These curtains were mid-range between both stores in terms of price, but the quality is superior! I have 2 large sliding glass doors that face West, so as the winter winds started to blow, I needed a solution. When this product arrived, I immediate loved the color and texture. When I hung them up, they definitely blocked out more light than the other ones I had tried. I can already tell a difference in the reduction of cold air that used to enter my living room. I never know what to think of these ratings when I read them. It's hard to order curtains without seeing them first. After shopping around, I had to leave a comment and highly recommend these.
I liked these curtains enough to buy them for 5 rooms in my home. The feel of the fabric is soft and smooth and they drape nicely. They're not heavy or stiff. I have purchased Chocolate, Beige and Dark Olive. The two darker colors do a great job of blocking light, the Beige not as well but still very good--good enough to use in the room of my day-sleeping shift-worker.(The Beige is not a gold at all but more of a very nice Stone or Antique White color.) We have a room with a wall of large windows and they help a lot with insulating. Before hanging I tossed them in the dryer with a damp cloth for 10-15 min. , hung them up right away, and all wrinkles or folds disappeared.
I loved these curtains, but I ordered the gray and they are not gray. They are a smoke blue, they look terrible next to anything that is gray. If you are looking for the gray, do not order them because gray will not be what you get. Other than the color being really off on this one, I really liked the darkening they provided to the room. Seemed to help with outside noise as well. I had to return them and no other color will work for the gray I need.
As someone familiar only with heavy, rubber-backed insulated drapes, I think the manufacturers seriously under-promoted that aspect of this product in the description. I can't believe how soft they are, and how well they hang and drape, nothing like the old insulated curtains. The fabric has a rich feel, but silky smooth, and it completely blocks the light, even direct sunlight. You may have a little light bleed through at the top where the rod is, but the fabric itself is totally, surprisingly, opaque. You can't tell if it's day or night, at least through the fabric. All of us online shoppers know the feeling of buying an item, and, once it arrives, finding out that it somehow doesn't live up to our expectations. This product exceeded my expectations, and will probably go into my Hall of Fame of Great Online Finds. Score one for the shopper!
This curtain is NOT something I would hang in a bright trendy or formal space. My boys bedroom has a blanket which matches the blue in this and his room is a smidgen dark so you can't tell quality etc. It is a simple curtain, blocks light, although you can see pinholes in the daylight so not true blackout. It does seem to reduce road noise. We live on a Parkway. So it works but nothing fabulous looking but not ugly.
Very nice looking (blue) black out curtains ... no plastic coating ... great material ... heavy fabric falling excellent when hung .. well made ... black out (insulating) effect very good ... love those curtains ...
Actually block the light and darken the room. Lovely color.
These curtains are absolutely gorgeous. Open or tied back they add a regal look to our living room. I ordered them in red and my living room just transformed. Going to get them for my dining room as well.
I love the fabric of this drape! Judging from the description, it is easy care, which I appreciate. It is blocking light very well and offers complete privacy. I love the way it drapes and it has just the right amount of body. The texture and sheen of the fabric is very, very nice. I WOULD order this again but only for myself. I gave it a poor rating for the construction detail. Someone forgot to shrink the thread. When I (following directions) put the drape into a low dryer with a damp bath towel to take out the packing folds, the thread on the side seams shrunk, taking over an inch on some panels and at least an inch on all six panels, both sides. If you don't mind taking out the stitching and replacing it on the side seams, this is a great choice. For some reason, the header and the hem don't seem to have shrunk at all.
