I gave it 4 stars and not 5 since it's not really blackout curtains. other than that, they are made with good material and look great.

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.

I got an 84in in caf color.  This curtain does NOT block 100% light as claimed.  And its not like it does 99% and Im just nitpicking  no, you can see plenty of light coming through the curtain. Maybe 80% blocking at best.  It darkens, but does not provide a total blackout, which is what I want in my bedroom.  I don't know if I expect too much from blackout curtains in general, but when the product description states absolute 0% light, thats what it must deliver.  The only true blackout I was able to find so far was from a pair of ugly curtain liners at Home Depot, so Im starting to suspect the liners would always be  required  I also don't understand the majority of other good reviews reporting total darkness  do other colors deliver the promised blackout?  The relatively high price, considering there is only one panel in the package, adds insult to injury.

They are very soft and nice, but are definitely NOT blackout curtains. A little Darker -yes, blackout -no.

Bought the teal, definitely not blackout. You can see the individual blinds. I have white blackout curtains too so it can be done in light colors. Also arrived with brown mystery stains

I found these at Home Depot, but this seller has for cheaper. They went up very quickly, it couldn't have been easier - but watch out for paper cuts. They are just paper, but really do black out a room, minus the little bit of light that gets around the edges. *my room isn't exposed to direct sunlight. They don't look terrible. I would buy again, and recommend them for temp or semi-temp use (mine have only been up for a few days).

Not totally blackout, if you're expecting that.  You can still see some specks of sunlight through the curtains.  They look good, though.

First i bought blackout curtains from Bed, bath and beyond, but had to return them because it didn't really darken the room. After reading some of the reviews, i decided to buy this blackout curtain and glad that i did. It does make the room darker. I bought the navy since the darker colors block light better than the lighter ones. Easy to hang. I have already bought more for my living room.

I would definitely not call them black out curtains.  These curtains do not black out anything. I have a set of blinds between the curtains in the window and you can still see light through the curtains. It definitely help reduce the amount of light that comes into your room. But they are not black out.

These are really beautiful curtains but they are not blackout curtains.  I've uploaded a photo that demonstrates this clearly.  The darker lines across the photo are vinyl mini blinds that I have opened so you can see how much light these "blackout" curtains really let in.  As far as I can tell, there is nothing special about these to qualify them as even trying to be "blackout" curtains.  They do darken the room a bit but any piece of fabric that you hang over a window will darken the room somewhat.

The material is also quite porous as you can see in the photo from the little pin-sized dots of light poking through so I have my doubts about the "thermal insulated" claim.  It is almost as if they forgot to sew in a lining material that could have made these truly thermal insulated blackout curtains.

Aesthetically, they look great.  I went with burgundy and was pleased that the actual color is much deeper than what is in the sample photo.  I'm tempted to keep them just because they look so good but it's annoying that they are advertised so deceptively and I'd have to buy some sort of extra liner curtains to get the room blacked out like I need it.

Pros: Blackout, high quality
Cons: Comes in slightly different shade between wide width and normal width, limited color selection

Although I noticed a slightly different shade in ordering the "olive" wide width and normal width, I am definitely keeping these curtains. The shade difference is not noticeable unless you examine closely. At the end of the day, for a family with a newborn, these things are a life saver for getting some shut eye in the middle of the day. Our room, which has windows all over the place, is now dark in broad daylight - even with the southern exposure hitting our windows every morning. They are fantastic and I can assure you, these are blackout, unlike many other brands I tried.

nice curtain -- but NOT a blackout curtain.  As the other reviewers write (and i should have paid attention to) this is not as advertised -- it's called a blackout curtain, but light comes through, and i have to buy another to put in the nursery :(

I am impressed with the quality of the fabric and overall it is a nice set of curtains.  Blackout to me means when I hang them up, I don't see sunlight come thru at all, or at least VERY little.  The curtains definitely glow when its sunny out, So if you need actual blackout curtains that make a room close to night black in the middle of the day, Probably keep looking around.  Again, Decent curtains, Not blackout.

Beautiful color, but definitely NOT blackout or even room darkening. I purchased these even though reviews said it didn't darken the room. Will add a backing.

Not blackout at all. I'm going to be returning these. I purchased to put up in my daughter room, we have long daylight hours and I need her to sleep. The curtains are like normal curtains. They are thin no lining whatsoever . Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

The curtains are certainly blackout, and the grommets are nice.  Furthermore, it's really great that these curtains come in so many different lengths.  This combination of features is something hard to find in stores.

That said, the color/material aren't particularly stunning.  I got the chocolate color, and they weren't really a great shade of brown - they didn't match any of the wood flooring or furniture I had in my room.  The feel of the curtains also isn't inspiring.

If you need blackout curtains and want grommets (which definitely make your curtains easier to open/close) and want a length that is shorter than 84", these are a great option.  I searched for quite a while and these were the only curtains I found with these features.  But if you also care about style, I don't think you'll be happy (though maybe other colors are better).  Personally, I preferred blackout but didn't require it, so I'll be returning these and will be getting non-blackout curtains with a style/feel I like better.
