The curtains themselves are absolutely beautiful. They are not completely room blackening, but they are certainly room darkening, which works for us. I felt a little misled by the description, however, which stated it was two panels. This is technically true, but it is two separate panels that go one on top of the other to create the one curtain with the solid and lace in front of it. Hence, this should be marketed as one curtain. I ended up having to purchase a second panel (or set of panels). If you want 2 curtains, order 2 (even though it will say 4 panels). Confusing and poorly described, but good quality product.
