I like the width of these curtain panels, and I like the sturdy grommet tops. But these are not blackout curtains. They are only room darkening, and for the lighter colors, not so much. I bought the light blue ones for the bedroom my grandbaby sleeps in, but they let in way too much light from the west-facing windows. I had to take them down and put up dark gray ones instead, which is really kind of formal for a guest bedroom, but was necessary to darken the room enough for her to nap. Our bedroom windows face east, and the beige ones help keep the light down, but definitely don't darken them much at all. I give them 4 stars, because they are good curtains, but they don't get 5 because they are not as advertised.
