Elegant Cotton Room Darkening Blackout Curtains for Living Room Bedroom Thermal Insulated Grommet Drapes, 52 by 84 Inch, Grey (1 Panel)

UPDATE: I’ve had these curtains for 3.5 years now and they’re still doing great. I’ve washed and dried them several times (make sure to remove the plastic grommets first) and they have held up really, really well. As other reviewers have mentioned they are not true 100% blackouts. I have them in a north facing room that doesn’t get a ton of sun. So for me these work fine. They block out enough light to let a day sleeper sleep. Also during the summer or winter I do notice a temperature difference if these are kept closed as opposed to being open. I’m still very happy with my purchase. ————— When I first stumbled across these I loved the texture of the material so I decided to give them a try. I really didn't expect that much from them. Much to my surprise these are awesome! I'm so glad I bought them. For the price and quality these are a great deal. I'm in the process of redoing my guest room/office. I wanted something that was light in color but would also block out sunlight if someone was trying to sleep. These fit the bill! The material is thick and really good quality. The color is a gorgeous shade of light pink. One thing I noticed is the curtains have buttons attached for when you're using the tiebacks. I find that the buttons are awkwardly low so I’m going to just take them off. The grommets are made of plastic but according to washing instructions you pop them off prior to washing/drying. I haven't washed these yet so I'm not sure how they'll hold up. I'll update later after I've had a chance to wash them.

I love the color - mine said they were blue, but they actually look slightly green, like a sea foam color (at least to me), which is great because they blend very well with my existing decor. I wouldn't go so far as to say that are blackout drapes; they do block about 85-90% of light. So I guess they fall into the "room-darkening" category. Either way, I've had the best sleep since I purchased these. My bedroom window faces southeast and daylight comes very early in the spring/summer. I get at least 1 extra hour of sleep because these curtains block out the light at sunrise. I bought these last fall and hung them to help block drafts. We got new windows a couple of years ago, and I don't know if the frames are shrinking, but we now have small drafts around them in winter. Nothing like with the old windows, but still, drafts. These drapes helped to block them. The only time I felt cold near the window was on days when the temps dipped below zero and there was also wind from the east. These washed wonderfully - no loose threads, pulls or runs in the material when I took them out of the washer. But I did have to use a steamer to get the wrinkles to fall out completely. That's not that big a deal to me, but you should be aware that simply running them in the dryer or hanging them after washing will not make the wrinkles fall out. You will need to steam or iron them. The grommets are heavy, so if you run them i in the dryer, they will make a lot of noise. Speaking of the grommets, they have this really cool rubber gasket lining all around the inside edge that makes them glide over the curtain rod. Not completely silent, but the grating sound of metal on metal when opening or closing the drapes is dramatically reduced. They have a beautiful dull, sateen like lining that makes me wish they were completely reversible, because I think the lining is just as beautiful as the drapery material. I will keep this brand in mind when I want to change out my drapes for a new color or pattern, because they are really well made.

Elegant, excellent material, no complaints.

This is the second time I've purchased these curtains. They hang nicely. I bought two of the 100 x 96 size for triple sliders in grey. They may not be super duper thermal, but there is at least a thickness to them and in this past cold New Hampshire winter they seemed to keep out some coldness. They are NOT blackout curtains, but I knew that from other reviews. They are somewhat darkening. If I'd hung them in my bedroom I would have been disappointed in this, but they are perfect for my living room where I DON'T want blackout curtains. There are not that many reasonably priced grey, thermal, grommet curtains available greater than 84 inches and these fit the bill. They do come wrinkled obviously, and for that we bought a $20 steamer called Asani from amazon that worked perfectly. They are also too long (which I knew) and for that I bought a hem ripper to pull out the bottom seam. Tonight I am using fabric chaulk to mark a line and then I will be cutting them, ironing them bottom and affixing the hem with fabric tape. I have never done this before - but last time I sent curtains to a seamstress they came back crooked! I figure it can't come out worse than that, so wish me luck. Will report back... maybe. :)

Very nice, well made, heavy curtains

I waited for these to go on sale since I purchased 15 100x96 and 15 52x63 panels for all my windows. They are everything I hoped they would be. They are light filtering not blackout which I did not want. They hang beautifully. They do come a little wrinkled but ironing them, using a steam iron, got out the wrinkles. Also ironing them, gave the hems and seams a finished look. I purchased the Grey and love the color. Completely satisfied!

These are just what I was afraid to hope for, they look exactly like they are depicted to be. Very beautiful, very well made and seem durable. This is truly the get what you pay for scenario at basically double the price of the other similar looking "maybe's" I settled for. They were half as luxurious at half the price. I didn't even bother unpacking them. You can stop looking now if you are planning on finding something you'll never feel compelled to replace.

Much more “room darkening” than “blackout! You definitely will still get light through them. But, it helps. I’m keeping them because they get the job done for what I needed, but if you need your room pitch black, I wouldn’t recommend them.

Love these curtains, I ironed them before I hung them. I am sure the few wrinkles would come out over time. They are super soft and when closed you can’t see in.

Very nice fabric, good lining and well constructed. Quite heavy. Colour true to photo. Very good product.

I really like the quality but its not wrinkle free

Although the product was delivered late (by three weeks), I am very please with my buy. The curtain color matched my living room color. During the long summer days, it kept my room cool and dark (not 100%) which was very essential to put my kids into bed early - thanks to its high gram per square inch. And this raises the only con - that you will need a stronger curtain rod if you want to slide open the whole curtain (100 inches) on one side of the window only. Otherwise, you can always put third support in the middle of the curtain rod. I hope this will keep my room warmer during the winter months and lower my heating bill.

For the price, well done. The stitching is very good, the weight of the fabric is good, not too heavy. It has a nice texture/subtle pattern. There are creases, but I expected that from the description. I guess they will eventually even out, if not, I'll use my steam iron to smooth them out.
