These curtains are lovely. I was afraid they would be stiff and wrinkled, like some other curtains, but they are a soft fabric and the wrinkles fell out on their own in just a few days after hanging. They aren't completely 'blackout', but they definitely block enough light out to do the job. There is a street light outside of my master window and the sun comes up on this side of the house too--and these curtains did the trick!Pros: value, qualityCons: I wish they had these is extra wide width too
