My big complaint with this curtain is that it was described as a blackout curtain and provides room darkening. The description for these needs to be corrected! While the curtains are lovely--nice color, fabric and drape--its just standard fabric with no inherent room darkening capabilities. Just one step up from being sheer. If room darkening doesn't matter to you, then go ahead and buy these--like I said, they are lovely. But I'm returning mine because I'm shopping for room darkening curtains.
