I'm very pleased with my purchase.  I wanted something for my vacation condo in Palm Springs that would darken the room and keep out the heat from the sun.  I was attracted to these curtains because they had a pattern but it wasn't too feminine and I would be able to pick up several colors in the pattern to accessorize the room.  The curtains are really room darkening NOT blackout which I didn't mind in the end because I added blinds behind the curtains which allow me to control the light in the room better: total blackout, room darkened or light.  I think they are a good value for the price as the material and the craftsmanship is very good.
