I ordered these in Taupe and i really love the way they look in my bedroom.  As some reviewers mentioned, they do let some light in so i wouldn’t considered them "blackout" but more "room darkening", however, my neighbors have a security light outside my bedroom window that remains on all night and these work great at blocking that!

Pros: Great style.  Stripes lined up perfectly
Cons: "room darkening" not "blackout"
