These curtains are very pretty, not quite as long as I had hoped (I added the little clip hooks to give them more length). However, the material is nice and quite heavy and they look very nice when hung. If you are looking for something that blocks light though, these are not for you. We have them in our bedroom, we have blinds also, and as soon as the sun is up it is pretty bright in the room.  If you're not worried about blocking light though these are a great curtain.
