Great curtains for the price. They arent supposed to keep the light it but they really do! They are about a half an inch shorter than the other curtains I have of the same length. But if you dont want a plain black curtain and you want a little something something these have a little wavy pattern through them and overall  are amazing! And they have a pretty sheen! And.. GROMMETS. So easy to use and move. ) try them!
