I live in the Sunshine state so you can see where we need blackout curtains. They are a must in our home. We have big windows and live in a second floor so we catch the sun in every angle. This curtains are good and the color is very beautiful. I love that tone and the thickness of the curtains. Easy to hang on the curtains rods of your choice. I can open and spread them in the morning when I want sun and close them when I don't. Jut simply beautiful curtains. That absolutely work.
