I purchased three sets of these panels in the 63" length for a bedroom with three windows and lots of early morning light that i wanted to block out. Since I already had wood blinds on these windows, it was more a matter of adding some additional coverage around the edges. So they work fine for my needs. I used hardware that allows you to wrap the curtains around the sides of the windows and the panels fit snugly against the walls. However,These are not true blackout curtains since they are translucent and do let in some light. If you need true blackout curtains, then choose another style. With all that said, the quality of the fabric is quite nice, with an embroidered wavy pattern in blue, grey and tan on a creme background. No need to iron as wrinkles quickly come out once hung. One caveat here. I had to return a set since one panel was a good three inches shorter than all the others which I found to be disconcerting and strange. It's a matter of quality control. I'm hoping the new set comes in with no issues.
