The drapes are as beautiful as they looked when shopping.   The quality of the drapes is very good for the price.  They are room darkening as advertised.   If you are looking for complete black out this is not the drape for you.   I have them hung in a window where the sun shines directly into and the drapes keep the room darkened to the point if you tried to read something you would need to turn on a light.  I am completely satisfied.
