I’m really happy with these curtains. The color is as depicted & I would consider them blackout curtains. The photo makes it seem like there’s more light coming through than there is in reality, but it does a really good job of blocking the light. The real curtains next to them are “extreme blackout” Oslo Theater Grade curtains & there is absolutely no light visible through those, so you can see the difference between them here. Overall, the quality is very nice & I feel they were accurately described.
