Just got these in yesterday and have not hung up yet, so I will update this once I do. But so far my thoughts are good on these curtains. They are just what I was looking for, a gorgeous linen looking blackout curtain. I will say that they are lighter in color than the picture shows but I was actually happy with that discovery. They seem to be high quality, heavy and thick material, but not too stiff. I will update later when our curtain rods come in with how well they blackout the light.
