The pattern on these curtains is beautiful and the fabric feels nice. I also like that the grommets are not silver because we have a rod with an oil rubbed bronze finish. The reason Im not giving them five stars is because they arent lined. I know they are only room darkening, but you can see the pattern through the back. I feel like for as much as they are, they could at least have a light fabric lining. Luckily I got them on sale, but they were still as much as the blackout curtains I bought for my bedroom from another retailer.
