I agree with previous reviews fabric is quite heavy so will require rod that can support weight there is a fabric lining however it’s not a separate lining and is fused directly to fabric fabric has a sheen to it along with the textured velveteen (not full velvet as described) pattern fabric is not washable, just spot clean so washing to loosen up packaging wrinkles isn’t an option and will have to be ironed they are full blackout which is what I was going for. In the picture you can only see cracks of light between panels while outside the window is getting full sun at the time pic was taken.
