These drapes were even better in person than they were in the photos.  I hung them in my den/tv room.  They keep the sun totally out.  I am hoping that they will also help to keep some of the cold out when the weather turns cold again.  These drapes are well made and the material is very thick.  The pattern and color looks awesome!  Shipping was prompt.  I am extremely pleased with this purchase and would recommend these curtain panels to anyone.
