I purchased these after many failed attempts to find true blackout curtains in a neutral light color that wouldn’t show yellow when the sun hit them. I can say that these indeed are blackout perfection. Absolutely no light comes through and these are the perfect neutral color. LOVE these curtains.I needed blackout curtains for my living room because the windows create too much glare on the TV screen. The room is somewhat limited in how the furniture can be arranged to eliminate the glare. These curtains are a deep burgundy and truly blackout any light. The grommet header allows for easy closing and opening to adjust the level of light from outside as desired. The panels are much heavier than I expected so make sure the curtain rods you use are heavy duty. The material feels rich to the touch, drapes beautifully, and does not wrinkle. I had to press the folds from curtains when they arrived, but they remained pressed while hanging them on rods. I cannot address how well they will launder... time will tell. I am very pleased with these curtains!Not only are they beautiful, but they hang very nicely, and block out all the light except where they come together so I put Velcro in for places along the edges so they stay closed when they are shut.The velcro isn't noticable unless looking closeup. In the first picture, I hadn't readjusted my rod yet, but in the second picture with them opened, you can see how beautifully they hang after the adjustment.I am a blackout curtain snob.These curtains are super nice. I like the gray color with black on the back. The weight is perfect, the length & width are perfect. Nice set!I certainly recommend.Love these Blackout Curtains, not sheer curtains!Well made and definitely black out material!Works greatI really like these.Affordable made well and look nice already seem be keeping the heat out!
