I bought 6 of the 108 inch length panels in the paprika color. The color is darker than what I see in the picture...more of a cinnamon color than rusty brown...but still beautiful. The faux silk material is very rich looking. The inner blackout lining is heavy (and literally a black color,) and the outer white lining is also a heavy material. These definitely block all sunlight! They arrived folded in separate packages and really need ironing to flatten the folds out, but unfortunately, you have to iron the seams on all 4 hem edges really well, too. The sewing machine tension used was much too tight so you have to stretch the material seams while ironing them to make the puckered stitches lie flat. Two of the 6 panels are just too puckered no matter how much I ironed them so I positioned them where they showed the least. Don't use steam! It puckers the material. Iron with the faux silk side facing up using a nylon pressing cloth that is designed to protect fabrics from getting shiny. Use a high setting, (I used wool setting,) or else you'll be wasting your time on these thick panels. I set my ironing board up next to a queen bed so that I could iron and keep material resting on a flat surface, flipping the panel around to do the second half without the first already-ironed side from puddling on the floor. I also used the ironing board for a sturdy flat surface to use for inserting the drapery pins into the hem tape at the top of each panel. Use a metal thimble if you have one since these material layers are thick. With the weight of the curtains and the heavy bold pole and rings, you have to buy extremely large bolts to use in the installation of the rod supports or else they will pull out from the sheetrock wall. Install the supports into a stud if possible. I couldn't due to concrete block construction, so my rod with 4 panels pulled out using bolts suited for 75 lbs of weight each! Was told that means steady, fixed weight, not moving weight as in pulling the curtains open and closed. Also, I'm using drapery pull "baton" rods attached to the inside end drapery ring of each side to help with pushing the panels open and closed. The weight makes it difficult to move the panels over the pole where the pieces of the rod extension points are. It may have been worth it to splurge on a traverse rod in the long run. But the look and blackout function are great...designer looking at a fraction of the price!
