I ordered these for my son’s first apartment and I think they will serve the purpose of blocking light and providing privacy.  They also work for a handsome masculine setting. I do like the cozy flannel type of fabric and neutral shades of gray on ivory.  What I really don’t care for is the shoddy workmanship as shown in the photos - loose and uneven stitches and loose threads all over.  I can’t imagine not cleaning up a product before packaging it for sale!  My son won’t be moving into his apartment for months so I didn’t want to open the curtains all the way up yet, therefore I won’t know how well they hang. I will just have to cross my fingers that they look nice.
