I live downtown in a large city... so there's lots of noise, especially where the bedrooms are located. Noise reduction black out curtains at a store are very pricey but these curtains have a great price, The weave in the fabric gives nice texture and the color was as shown. The lining is not white and there are no tie backs.

Pros: Price is amazing and curtains are washable
Cons: Would have liked them 105 inches long and with tie backs.
