This was my first Wayfair purchase, and overall I'm pretty pleased. The quality of these curtains seems good, especially for the price, though they might be a tiny bit thin. The material, as others have said, is smooth and sort of satin-like, which I think is nice. I purchased the "sundress" (yellow) color, and they ended up being a good bit lighter than I expected. (From pictures, they appeared to be a deeper, goldenrod color, but they're more light yellow than gold.) Also, I wouldn't call this particular color "blackout" if that's what you're looking for. They block out some light (enough for our needs), but they do also let a fair amount of light in.
