This is my second order for these curtains. Absolutely perfect and beautiful,  very easy to put up to.... for the price, I have decided to redo all my windows which I havent done in a long time..I would have never guessed Id go with blackouts in a million years..everytime I have ever looked at them, they were hard shower like feeling.. I know they improved since then. But I have to admit I have never seen anything like these even at your finest stores..they are very soft.
