Never in my life have I ever seen curtains so luxurious! Straight out of the package they were so high quality and soft, my kids wanted to use them as a blanket! Initially I put them up in my living room, but after seeing exactly how much light they cut out I moved them to the kids' room. We have really bright street lights that glare directly into our living room and the kids' room, so these curtains are perfect for helping the kids go to sleep at night (well, a mother can dream, right?). Definitely worth it if you have little ones!
