Love these curtains, I got them in white.  The pattern provides enough interest so that these are not just boring white curtains.  They do not have the flocking on the back that peels when washed.  They are true blackout, lean a bit silver/grey which is probably due to their core.  Nice weight to them. Bit confusing as to their care, site and package say dry cleaning, tag says machine.  I did dry them on low to get out wrinkles, no issues.
