This curtain is HEAVY! It has a velvet feel too it, and definitely blocks out light. Every time I buy curtains I always assume they come in a pack of 2 and I'm always let down when I get it and it's only one panel. Well I did it again, make sure you read the packaging. We got the longest one possible and it's definitely long, but does the trick. It has metal curtain rod holes that are large, the fabric is beautiful and adds a little sparkle to the room.
