These are great! I ordered two in yellow and the color was as expected. They are lined but not black out. I like the 3 inch pocket rod as it allowed me to easily thread a buckram header through the pocket to help it fold and hang neatly. I hung them with drapery pins and the length was just right for what I wanted- a finger-width off the floor . Love that they come in 108 inches! Added bonus- it came with drapery hook belt for more hanging options.
