We just moved into a new condo and our bedroom window faces a metro station. We needed curtains that reduce noise so we don't get woken up at 5am by the buses. These curtains do just the trick! They almost work too well because now we're sleeping in and finding it hard to get out of bed on the weekends! I ordered the Teal Blue, which is a really nice color and pretty much as pictures. I would say these are very good quality curtains for the price.
