I like the pattern and the color is perfect for the room (the combination of the Brown, Blue, Orange).  But its impossible to call these blackout curtains, they are very thin and do not block light.  The width is also a problem (which i knew, but figured i'd try anyway) and one pair is not enough to cover my window.  For those two reasons I would have returned them, however I put them on the rod with the chocolate brown drapes I was looking to replace and with both together it actually works really well for my room.  So I'm going to keep them but again beware of the width, how thin the fabric is, and that they are not light blocking.
