For the price, the quality and functionality of these blackout curtains is good. We purchased to put in our son's room and they sufficiently block out the light. We installed on a french curtain rod (which I had never heard of before, but think really helps with the room darkening as it allows the curtain to wrap around the side, fully covering the window/light). One caveat to be aware of - the length is only 61" for the curtains we received. This worked for our window, but just barely. we ordered the Wheat color.
