These curtains are decent. I ordered them in grey, and the color has a little more brown in it than I was expecting. However, I really like the woven texture of the fabric, which was why I bought these in the first place. I don't know if I would call them "blackout" curtains. They definitely do a lot to darken the room. At night, my room is pitch-black now, which is what I wanted. However, if the sun is shining, it shines through the weave of the fabric, even though I also have blinds on my window. Still darkens the room, but like I said, it doesn't "blackout" the room. But, I got them to make my room darker at night, which they do perfectly.
