It's too bad because they sure do do a good job at blocking the light, but definitely not worth the smell. Is not a good blackout curtain. Has pin holes all over them. Can see light through the curtains. This not around the curtain I am talking about, I can see it through them. Don't know if those bad and heavy smell from newly purchased curtains for ur bedroom will harm more
These eclipse curtains are not only great looking, with a semi shiny patina that affords them a sense of subtle elegance, but they are entirely efficient in keeping your home's temperature moderately regulated. I put these in my South Florida apartment, which has 2 windows and a 12 foot sliding door that face west...which means it exposes my place to the hottest, most intense sun heat of the afternoon. Prior to installing these, I could feel heat radiating 2 feet into my apartment from the windows and door. The carpet was hot to the touch. After installing these curtains, however, my apartment has been significantly cooler in temperature and the sun-blocking capabilities give my place a hotel room type of feel. I opted for the chocolate brown color to contrast my light beige walls and they look real classy. All my visitors have noted their elegance and the price for these is right. I bought similar curtains about 2 years ago for a seasonal place in Southern California and I paid $40 a panel for those- same brand.
These are remarkably priced for the value, cheaper here on Walmart than Amazon. I purchased 3 of the 42x84in. Fast shipping with the free shipping from Walmart for spending over $50, ordered on Tuesday got here Friday. I think the quality is very good. I did read past reviews one which said the curtains were pretty much ruined when washed. Mine did come with care instructions for removing creases which involves putting the panel in a dryer along with a clean damp cloth, tumble dry on low heat for approx. 20 minutes, immediately removing then hanging panel. So I may try that but won't be putting them in the washer. I hung mine right out of their package (which was also a nice plastic case with a zipper so you could reuse them for storing they curtains if ever necessary) and I am extremely pleased with how they look their name doesn't lie they do blackout my room keep the light out great. It has been freezing outside and they are helping now to keep my heat in and the cold out, and I live on a busy street and the noise has been reduced from the traffic and people outside.
I would for sure recommend this product to others, since I was this pleased I am going to order more panels for the rest of my house! I'd read the reviews so I knew these were NOT blackout like the title says. And the reviews are right, they do dim the light but are definitely NOT blackout. However, considering floor to ceiling curtains are hard to find in a reasonable price I still agree these were a good buy (especially when you buy them in a bundle of 4 like I did). I love the look of tab back curtains, so I sewed thick ribbon peices on the back to make tabs on the back. Now they look pleated when hung. Otherwise, the rod pocket is very tight and it was almost impossible to slide the curtains open and closed. Also, like other reviewers noted, the backs are coated in like a plastic coating which is uneven in spots and shows more light through (see photo). Again, not high quality curtain but for the price its what I expected. Decided to change color scheme in the bedroom so I needed new blackout curtains, purchased these because they seemed to be the best value.
I ordered them in stone blue, and the curtains are actually darker than they appear online. Almost like a dark denim blue color. But I like it!! The weave of these give a really great texture and a very subtle pattern. My window is about 70" inches wide. I bought 3 panels and it filled the space fine for my taste. For windows this size, I'm guessing most people may want 4 (or more) panels for a pleated look. These block out WAY more than my existing curtains. I've included a couple not-so-great pictures. I ordered the ivory. They don't allow the sun in but the color is a bright ivory and they seem to open up the room. I can't say how they help with energy saving because I haven't had them long enough to get a electric bill. I just wanted to replace my dull sage green crepe panels and this was a great improvement. These are much heavier and I did place them in the dryer with a damp towel for 10 min. right before hanging, which removed the wrinkles. I'm very happy with these.
