I replaced some curtains I got from another site with these and the transformation to my living room is unbelievable! I love the textured look and they and true black out without looking too heavy. I love that they are washing machine and dryer safe, as well as the fact you can iron them!  I know this seems silly, but my last curtains were dry clean only and no iron, so it took FOREVER to get them wrinkle free. Not to mention that when you have 3 boys and 2 dogs, washing your curtains needs to be a possibility.
