NICETOWN Thermal Insulated 100% Blackout Curtains, Sound Proof Drapes with Black Backing, Full Light Blocking Panels for Patio Sliding Door (Biscotti Beige, 1 Pair, 55 inches x 102 inches)

I first bought these in white and sea teal a few years ago for our apartment. We've now purchased our first house, and I'm gradually putting these in every room! The greyish green and navy shades are slightly lighter than the pictures. The sea teal is a little brighter. They grey is pretty accurate to the pictures. As others mentioned, the white curtains have a black lining, so they're just as effective as darker colors.I now have 20 panels of varying sizes and colors, and haven't had an issue with any. I agree with other reviewers that the fabric is much nicer (and true blackout level!) compared to other products. I also appreciate the wide variety of lengths and widths they offer. I use a steamer to remove the wrinkles, but I'm sure the dryer trick others mentioned would work too. Given the quality, I think they're a great value, especially if you buy them on sale. That happens pretty frequently - use Honey's Smart Droplist if you'd like the track the price automatically.Keep in mind, you need to hang your curtain rod higher and wider than your window to block out more light. I measure the space between the window frame and ceiling and go about 2/3 of the way up (you can install it higher if you want, as long as you have enough space for the curtain to slide). For width, I try to go at least 6 inches out from the window frame on both sides. This helps with blocking light, but also means that the curtain won't block any of the window when you do open it. Depending on your home, it's also best to have the curtains reach to just above the floor (assuming you don't have radiators or similar). You'll want the curtain width to be 1.5-2 times wider than the rod, so that they look full.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I figured I was looking for one like this one and would have appreciated it before buying.I am a very light sleeper and am in med school. I purchased these curtains because they were advertised as blackout. There is a lamppost that shines right onto my bed at night, and I used to have had a hard time sleeping because of it. These curtains do the trick and have completely taken that light away.At night it’s pitch black. During the day, if I close my door, curtains, and turn off my light, I cannot see any of the artwork in my room. It is almost pitch black right now at 1:30. I am about to nap, and I am glad to report that I can now do that anytime of day.If you are worried about these curtains being blackout, don’t be. Just get the correct dimensions, and you will be set.I just took these photos for your reference. The first photo: doors closed, lights off, curtains closed. Second photo doors closed, lights off, curtains open. It is 1:42 PM and super sunny (UV 9), and still, the shades still block out all the light. It’s even darker in person than in the photos.I hope you buy and enjoy like I did.

Not the prettiest but not bad. We're starting to heat up in the Pacific Northwest and ordered for my home office which I spend most of my time. For the relatively few days it gets hot enough where I'm uncomfortable I have to install these clunky large A/C units with the tubes to the window. Just for 4 - 10 days out of the year. A PAIN.This is our hot week so far and ordered yesterday, arrived today (although delivered to the wrong address) and was sweating before and during hanging up the curtains around 2:00pm. I swear within a very short time the temp in the hottest room ever facing west and getting all of the sun, it cooled down significantly. Only the west side of my house heats up like a furnace on hot days so I will be ordering again for the other west facing room with a window.I'm SOLD. And this is not a paid for review.

These curtains are amazing. Their only failure is that I should have flipped how I put them on the curtain rod. I can't even be mad at that though because it lends a most creepy hue on my room. I was almost concussed and I ripped my hand open while taking down my old curtains to install these beauties, but that happens when your house in haunted. I'm confident anyone purchasing these will be thoroughly pleased with the product and won't have the near death experiences that I had.

I love the thickness of the curtain and it works well for blocking out light. However, in an effort to get the wrinkles out of the fabric, I experimented on one panel by wetting the material and putting it in the dryer on low heat. The result was the color changed from white to beige. The curtains are labeled as machine washable and dryable on low heat, so beware. I now have to order another set of curtains since I purchased these for 3 windows. Perhaps a darker colored curtain would not show such a drastic color change. Here is a tip for getting out the wrinkles. I tried a wrinkle release spray that did not work, so I located my old iron and ironing board. I finally got the wrinkles out on a linen steam setting.
