Good for the price. I wouldn't call them "blackout" because the backing is not that thick, but they are certainly "room darkening." They are softer and thinner than I expected, with a sleek satin-type feel I didn't expect from the pictures. The benefit is they are pretty much non-wrinkle.  They are shinier than I thought they would be, but the color is true. Like them and just what I need of the space.
