Love these shades! We got the sage green color and it looks great in our bedroom. Fabric is a smooth finely woven twill which is very neutral. Cordless operation is super and safe for kids and pets. Blackout backing does a good job of blocking light. For the size, be sure to measure inside your window moldings for the best blackout. If you have to surface mount them, there will be a small slice of light that can come in.
