I always read the reviews before I purchase anything. I thought about these curtains for a week before deciding to buy them. I'm so glad I did!While reading the reviews I noticed positive and negative ones. I'll share my thoughts on the negative. Wrinkles and packaging:There were few wrinkles in mine. So little that I decided not to iron them. I feel like they will fall out on their own. They were packaged extremely well in a thick, sealed plastic bag and folded very nicely. I expected wrinkles because of what I'd read but I just didn't see many. There were creases in the material where they were folded but not a lot of wrinkles. And no, they weren't in the usual sort of bag like you usually see at Target or other stores with pictures and descriptions. But I saw no issue with that. It was professionally packaged. Not just a panel that someone had folded and stuffed in a plain bag.Edited: A week has gone by and the few wrinkles I mentioned have fallen out like I thought they would. Colors not matching:I purchased the (W100 x L84) and the (W52 x L95) and both panels were the exact same color. No differences like some others experienced. I chose the color cappachinno and wow what a beautiful color.Different lengths:Both of my panels were the perfect length just like described.Blackout or room darkening:These curtains are thick. There's nothing thin about them. I turned the bright lights on in my kitchen last night. My sunroom is on the other side. I put my face to the glass and could not see anything inside my kitchen. I looked at pictures people put on here and in some pictures the panels looked so sheer and looked like a lot of light coming through. I didn't understand that at all except I did notice some weren't hung all the way to the floor which I think is important for keeping light out. They are anything but sheer. They are even slightly heavy. The material is soft. I love the way they feel.Room darkening? I don't have any sun coming through these windows or door because the sunroom is on the other side. But during the day, when closed and lights are off my kitchen is dark. They definitely darken my kitchen a lot.Blackout? I'd say they are the closest you will get to curtains that say blackout. These panels are made of a soft material that you don't get with a lot of panels that say blackout. I can't express enough how much I love the feel of these panels. Thermal?I'll find out in the winter if they hold the cold out (My sunroom which is the room behind the windows and door is not heated so it gets cold in there). I think they will help because they aren't thin curtains.Rusty Grommets:The grommets were not rusted like some received their's. I looked closely at mine. I would have sent them back if they were rusted. They give the panels an extra nice look. I loved them!As you can see in the pictures the larger panel is covering a door and a window. When I ordered them I wasn't thinking about the brace needed in the center for extra support. How was I going to pull the panel over to one side so that we could open the door? I hung the center brace. Then I counted the grommets. There were 14. I put the center grommet through the brace. This let's us pull the panel over but not all the way over. Look at picture of opened panel. That's as far as I can pull it over because the brace stops it there. But I don't really need the panel to slide all the way over. Keeping the window covered is okay with me. I just needed to be able to pull it past the door.Curtain rod I chose:Kenny 5/8" Beckett Decorative Window Curtain Rod (for heavier curtains they also have 3/4" or 1" diameter rods). I really wanted the 1" diameter rods but they are a lot more expensive. So I chose thinner rods and I think they look just fine.I chose the 48-86" length. They also have these in 28-48").There are four other colors. I chose the oil rubbed bronze.I was lucky enough to need them while they were on sale. I saved $8.09. A 40% savings. Wow! Another reason I love Amazon!To sum things up I have nothing negative to say about these panels. I love everything about them. I'm going to order more for the bedrooms upstairs. I highly recommend these panels!Edit/update 4 years laterI've had these 4 years now and they still look like they did the day I hung them up. I have washed them about 4 times on gentle wash. I put them in the dryer on medium heat and leave them there just until they are almost dry (don't overheat) then hang them back up immediately.I'm so glad I purchased these curtains. I now have these same curtains on all of my windows. Best decision I've ever made buying curtains.

I purchased the beige curtains. I purchased them originally for two doors that were having a hard time being windproof. The thermal curtains that I got were not staying on and this was problematic. I wanted curtains that were on the inside of the house that could block out wind and still look great.Do the performance of the two on the doors and how well they blocked the temperatures I went ahead and purchased these for the rest of the house after just a few days of owning them. The performance for blocking cold is great and works even better with a second layer but is not required. These are very thick without being ugly. They really brightened up my rooms due to their light color so I am replacing all of my prior thermal curtains.There is a possibility I would iron them but I don't actually care about the fold lines so probably not. These look terrific with either a hanging rod for curtains or just a nail in the wall where the grommets are. I find the nail keeps them closer to the wall surface and is there for more effective for temperature control.These will not hold up to a cat. They will not stay clean if a dog comes in the house wet and sprays all over them. Therefore you should choose such colors as are appropriate to your conditions.There is no smell to these and I ordered a total of 9 of them. I am extremely happy with the color and the fact that they make my room look bigger compared to the older darker color that I had originally for thermal curtains. They perform highly well and are very affordable.I have not yet needed to wash these but I imagine that they will be simple to wash dry and rehang and hopefully with enough cognitions those wrinkles will just come right out with the first wash.I also could not be happier and there's a couple of really great reviews of this product to help you to make the right decision.I think if I still had my cat I would not get these but a darker color perhaps. I'm incredibly happy that this stops the wind in the gaps at the doors and windows very easily. If you have done all the other winterization these are the final piece very comfortable home. They also block out the sun very well.In the photo it looks quite bright but the camera picked up other residual lighting. The second picture that is darker is also picking up residual light but it appears pretty dark inside.

I have a sliding door with blinds in my living room but no matter where I have the tv set up, the glare is there. NOT ANYMORE! Even with the blinds open, the curtains seem to block the sun almost completely. (See pic). Also, they are cute, material is soft and lightweight and seems to be put together quite nicely. Would recommend!

Over time, my window blinds would not close completely to block the direct sunlight from my bedroom window, so I purchased these curtains and I am very pleased. Although they are not total blackout, they work well enough for me to shade the room and keep it cooler on warm days.
