I ordered these blackout velvet curtains for a backdrop with my photography.PROS:Heavy DutyThick100% black outSoftCONS:Single sidedNo rod pocketSUMMARY: I really like these curtain panels they ended up working great. They're nice and soft and diffuse the light quite well for a photography it's a perfect neutral background which is what I was looking for. I immediately ordered a few more of these as they are great just for wall panels. I ended up hanging them up with flexible curtain track. They are robust but not incredibly heavy.Beautiful, soft, and definitely looks like the photoI received it to short posed to be longI love it! Will buy againThese curtains are great and are definitely full-level blackout. The velvet texture looks nice and they work great to darken the room.These curtains are thick and soft. The color is neutral. They are easy to hang and don't let the light in.This is a pair of black out curtain panels. The description calls this fabric velvet. I would say that is a bit of a stretch. The fabric is not heavy or soft. The pile of the fabric is very low and small. They come with creasing due to being folded in the package. I steamed them and struggled to get the creases out. They block the majority of the light, but they are not completely room darkening. The grommets are nicely done. They are consistently spaced and look nice.I would say that these are ok. They are not luxurious, but they will do the job. The price point is affordable, and they are worth the price.Very pretty velvet beige curtains, metal rings feel very sturdy and stable, these curtains are on the heavier side so do not make the mistake I made which was not getting heavy duty curtain rods as mine did not hold up the weight of the curtains. Overall I love the look and feel of the of these curtains and it also will keep some cold out during these winter months.
