These curtains are amazing quality for a fraction of the price! I bought a pair of blue velvet curtains at *** for approximately *** and was so incredibly disappointed with both the quality of the velvet and how sheer the curtains actually are. I bought these panels and the panels were so much better than the overpriced flimsy ones I bought at the designer store. The velvet is plush, soft, and the white thermal panels keep the light out and heat in. A thousand times the quality at literally half the price. I wish I had gone with these panels sooner instead of the designer brand. Pictured, the *** panels are on the left and the Exclusive Fabrics panels are on the right.
