I am always a little skeptical when it comes to blackout shades because so many claim to be blackout shades then they aren’t! This Eclipse Blackout shade however does exactly what it is supposed to. It is textured so it is on the thicker side but not too thick that it weighs it down. This blackout shade doesn’t let any light in at all which is great at nighttime. I absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend this blackout shade to anyone looking for great shades that do exactly what they are supposed to.
