I purchased this set of blackout curtains for my mother after buying a pair for myself.  Hers was a little different, but still the same company and curtains in general with the blackout feature.  My mom loves hers as much as I love mine!  They are absolutely amazing and absolutely beautiful!  Very classy curtains that don't look cheap at all.  The thickness is wonderful and the quality is great.  And even for being light in color, they blackout the light tremendously well and it will hurt your eyes to open them when it's light out!  Great product we're very pleased with!
