First of all, the color is deep butter, not light beige as shown in photos.  It goes well with my bedroom, which has dark wood, but the deep color clashes with my already butter-colored walls (was expecting the light beige shown in the photos), so I'll be repainting the walls a lighter color.  Each package contains two 52" wide panels.  Now to the reason these curtains get five stars--Room darkening capacity is awesome.  My bedroom has 14" ceilings with lots of regular  plus transom windows, which is lovely, but at times feels like a solarium.  These curtains block out the light and direct sun so well, that my bedroom now feels like a lovely cave in the mornings--I know, sounds weird, but sleeping in on weekends is one of my cherished luxuries.  The other unexpected bonus may be psychological, but I think they also help block out our neighbor's occasional late night party noises.  Overall, the curtains exceeded my expectations.  For the price, they are an outstanding purchase.
