Beautiful curtains, but definitely not blackout curtains

Beautiful curtains, but definitely not blackout curtains!  The curtains allowed a lot of light through.  As someone who works the nightshift and needs curtains to shut out light when I am sleeping during the day, these just don't work.  Too bad though because the material was very soft and the pattern was beautiful.

Color and length was as expected and they look great.

They are NOT true blackout curtains. I work night shifts and needed blackout curtains so I could sleep during the day after I got home from work.  I am very familiar with blackout shades and curtains and what kind of quality to expect; when I am traveling for work and stay in hotels I use the blackout curtains to sleep through the day.  At home, I already have shades on my windows and bought these to block out the remaining light coming into the room.  These curtains are better than others I've seen but while they block out some light it's not what I was expecting or needing and certainly are not true blackout curtains - if I had hung JUST the curtains with no shades underneath there would be far too much light still filtering in.  They do the job well enough and I am keeping them but by themselves I would have to return them.

These blinds are nice quality and look great but to call them "Blackout" is a misnomer. They darken the room considerably but still allow PLENTY of light to come through. I would say they block about 75% of outside light at best. I purchased the beige ones and they have a "glow" that shines through. I will not be purchasing any additional sets for other rooms.

I bought these for my daughter's nursery and I agree that the pink is a bit darker than pictured, but still a nice shade. We put these up yesterday and they definitely do not block all the light- especially the afternoon sun. We are using these along with light blocking shades and you do see a difference, but don't expect a complete blackout. It could be because they are pink and not a darker color. They aren't lined, so if you wanted to add a liner, that might help. We are keeping them because they do look nice and the shades help darken the room too.

The curtain itself is okay, but it is very far from being a blackout panel. have i known, i would not have purchased.

Bought these because they said blackout and with my boyfriend working 24hr shifts at the fire station and me being a night shift nurse, a dark bedroom is essential. We hung them up over a door to our backyard that already has blinds but light still gets in. As you can see in my picture the light is STILL getting in.

This is my only issue. The curtains themselves are very nice. Great color and material and arrived on time (prime). I just wish they were labeled correctly in the product description

These curtains are light blocking, not blackout. As long as you know that going in, you should be happy with them. I got a pair for a window in my bedroom and a 100 inch wide pair for a double window. They block about 70% of the light coming in. I took a star off because they have a satin sheen to them that I don't really like and I don't think is accurately represented by the photos.
My pictures are with the curtains closed, then open.

They are really blackout curtains. No light gets through....just around the edges. The curtains are very soft and silky. Not stiff at all. I felt that the top of the curtains where the grommets are could have used a better backing of interfacing to give more body to the folds. They seemed a bit longer than other 84" length I have tried on these same windows.

The design for me is 5 stars but I give it three because it's not at all a blackout curtain

Bought the white (definitely a grayish white). Exceeded my expectations for for white blackout curtains. Obviously it isn't a complete blackout since they aren't black. Not the most attractive curtains, but I put them behind my blinds, so it doesn't matter. I wish the grommets weren't so large and bulky, though.

They look  great!  They are a bit on the sheer side, so definitely not for black out or privacy.

Returned. I was looking for pitch black and these curtains were not it.

I bought these in white and they are definitely NOT blackout. I'd say the darker colors work better for blocking light but if you're looking for true light blocking curtains, don't order white. The fabric is nice for the price though

Beautiful set of curtains and high quality. They are not blackout though, just room darkening. I work nights and they have made an incredible difference in my ability to sleep during the day.

I like the way they look and they do block some light but I don't think they should be described as energy-saving or blackout. I have the beige/tan ones. As affordable curtains though, I really do like the way they look in my house and I often get compliments on them. They don't look cheap or anything. They just aren't accurately described.

I believe it said they were blackout curtains, but they really aren't that heavy. Still love the print though.

Although the description doesn't say they are blackout, I wanted to leave a review confirming that these are not blackout curtains. The quality is good and they are beautiful, but you can certainly still see light coming through when they are closed. At the time I purchased, there were no reviews so I wasn't sure what to expect. I will keep them, but do wish they were better with keeping out the light.
