cheap garbage half of curtains is paper rather than material to try to keep light out.  putting up cardboard would be better or a plastic garbage bag.  save your money do not purchase this item unless you want sunlight in your room with the curtains closed.  from outside you see paper in your window rather than curtain.  very disappointed with these as well as other purchases from wayfair.

Pros: nice frilly edges like in picture
Cons: not black out curtains like offered, let in way too much light.  have some cheap paper as a curtain to keep light out.
