These curtains are great quality. They are definitely blackout. If you want complete blackout, you’ll need a rod that curves at the end to pull the curtain around the sides, or else light will get in from the sides. Otherwise, they definitely make the room much darker than before we had them. These are very thick, soft curtains. You’ll need a decent rod with anchors to hold these well. Definitely worth the price. 

We got the popcorn color and they are a nice off white/soft white. Just what I wanted. It’s hard to find blackout curtains that are a nice cotton on the outside. These are perfect.
