After spending weeks looking for the perfect curtains and reading tons of reviews, I finally settled on these curtains for my living room. I purchased them over a month ago and they have yet to hang in my home for more than a few hours. The toxic smell coming off of these is unreal. I have small children and a husband with allergies and the fumes were taking over my whole house. I have washed these curtains twice (the second time rusted the grommets) and they have literally spent every day for the past month hanging on my clothes line to try and air them out with no improvement. I would have serious reservations about purchasing them to hang in a small childs room as a room darkener. The chemicals used on the backing of these curtains cannot possibly be good for the health of anyone. I never write reviews on anything I buy, but feel compelled to warn buyers. Yes, I am disgusted over the waste of almost $70 on 4 panels, but am more disgusted that a company can have such disregard for the health of it's customers by using toxic materials.

I ordered linen colored for my bedroom. They block all light and look very nice hung. Overall I'm very pleased today. But, here's what I experienced that makes me think they will not last more than a few years. That's why I give 3 stars instead of higher. - I hung them in the closet for a few months (got delayed putting them up) and not a single wrinkle straightened. So I had to carefully iron them on their front with steam and low iron. - NEVER iron on the back. It stuck to the iron and removed the backing, thankfully just a 1 inch square. That square has total light coming through it and looks bad. Good thing I did it at the bottom. - While hanging in closet, the grommets made green spots on the curtains, like when you wear bad jewelry and your finger turns green. They came out with spot cleaning of mild soap and water but it was so irritating. So the grommets are some poor quality. - After my experience of the grommets and the backing, I do not think I will wash these ever.

I believe they will not make it through. It's too bad that I suspect they can't be washed based on what others said and my experience with the iron. They really look sharp, slide nice on a rod, and block light well. The applied backing is very thin and subject to loose spots that are not attached to the draping material. I bought four panel for 2 windows and they look really good. My only problem with them are the odor they give off. I didn't notice it the day I hung them, but the next day I couldn't hardly stand the smell. Today, I sprayed them down with fabreze air effects and hope that helps. I didn't see any reviews with this problem but I did see reviews on different name brand curtains with that problem when I was looking for these. If anyone has solution to remove the smell I would appreciate any advice. I don't want to have to return them because I like their look. This is the first time that I have used a blackout curtain. I bought the Eclipse Zodiac Energy Efficient Curtains, they were stylish and thick.

So far I am very satisfied with them. I also plan on buying more for other rooms . I just read some reviews. Wish would have read them first been raining since got them.daedelus curtains don talkAnd all say going to smell when sun hits them. boeme curtainsCan't believe would continue to sell If smell. curtains schoolboy q ruthlessMy problem is in picture looks a lot lighter.
