These curtains were love at first sight! They are beautiful, lined, and total blackout. I needed total blackout curtains because I work the night shift which means that I sleep during the day, when the sun is shining the brightest. Thanks to these curtains I no longer see any light from my windows. I bought a set for my living room as well. The color is neutral and matches all of my furniture. These are worth the investment because they are quality curtains. You definitely get what you pay for and these are incredible.
