Black Short Blackout Curtains for Small Windows, 38 x 45 Inch Thermal Insulated Tier Set of 2 Panels Sun Blocking Drapes for Kitchen Bedroom

I am surprised at all the good reviews. These are NOT blackout curtains. They are nice material and the color is good, but they claim it blocks out 90-100% of light, but look at my photo. It hardly does that. It's not lined. They're just regular curtains. The room is darker but definitely not blackout or insulating in any way. If you are looking for nice curtains, you'll probably be happy, but I paid for blackout curtains so these are going back.

I am pretty impressed with these curtains. Honestly I wasn’t expecting a lot for $27. The material is soft and hangs well. No funky odors or chemical smell. I chose the Jungle Green color and I think it’s a beautiful color and represented well by the color on screen. It does make the room quite a bit darker than the curtains I previously had, but I wouldn’t call them “black out” curtains. However, they offer the perfect amount of darkening for me. Our previous curtains kept the room too bright for our baby to settle down for nap and these work just right. Our windows are unshaded and south facing so they get blasted with light and you can see from my pictures that the curtains work really well to cut the brightness a lot.My only disappointment with these is that the backside of the curtain is the same color, meaning that all that sunlight is absorbed into the dark curtain fabric and they get HOT. It holds the heat a lot more than it would have if the backside had been a lighter color (say a cream or beige). So I wouldn’t necessarily call these thermal curtains. That said, I think that the daytime room temperature has actually gone down from when we had our other curtains and I haven’t noticed a night chill at all (my bed is directly underneath the windows) so I think they do offer a certain degree of insulation - much better than our old set of curtains. Also, I would have rather had fabric tie backs than these metallic tassel ones, but that’s just personal preference.Overall, I’m very impressed with them and plan on buying more sets for the rest of our home. I don’t think you can beat them for the price.

Nice quality. Tumble dry to remove wrinkles quickly. The yellow is very bright .... French’s Mustard yellow. I was expecting a bit Less intense color but the color worked quite well.

Update 3/17/2022Vendor contacted me requesting to delete my comment in exchange for money.The point of online reviews is to enhance the customer experience providing feedbacks from consumers.The request of deleting my review is unethical and would lead to false advertisement, so I have respectfully declined it and I’m posting this note for public knowledge, hoping Amazon will read this and take appropriate actions.————————Original review:Overall they would be nice curtains, seems to be made of good and soft fabric, color very realistic too. My biggest disappointment is the false advertisement. In the product description, these curtains show an intermediate high density black layer in between the two external fabrics. The received product has nothing in there, I can see through when looking at the window with back light. I owe other REAL blackout curtains, definitively more expensive bath worth the money. At the end, you get what you pay for, I know that, it’s just annoying the false advertisement. I’d rather prefer an honest product description and leave to the customer the choice if buy or not.All in all nice curtains but if you are looking for the real blackout ones, spend more money and get SunZero (level 4): you won’t regret that purchase.

(The product reviewed is on the left in the above image) These are soft, durable, and of quality material. First I used them in my common areas in the summer to block the cool A/C air from escaping my living room into my non-temperature controlled kitchen. It was successful in this way. Then, after my baby was born, we used them in our bedroom, where we all sleep, because he wouldn't take naps during the day (the 8 week old kid knows light means AWAKE). Amazingly, he'll nap now because these curtains give the illusion that it's night time!! God send. I thought the price was very fair. I paid $20 total, I think, for 2 panels. My only complaint is that I don't think these are emerald green; they are darker and much more of a forest green, which bums me out a bit. Regardless, they've been SO useful, so helpful. Totally recommended.

These are good light blockers. NOT great. Have used others from WalMart or Target that performed better. However, I would say these look a lot better than the big box stores version. The seams appear durable enough, and the grommets are adequately pressed. There was one little flaw of what appeared to be a mild burned area (?), but it's hidden out of sight.They work well enough and we appreciate the color selection. The photos are pretty close to the actual material color.

To me "blackout" means no light gets through. With these, plenty of light gets through, as can be seen when I put the over my blinds with the sun shining on the window. I used these curtains to form a thermal barrier between my living room and my kitchen, and they accomplished this quite well. And, if a light is on in the kitchen I can't see it through these curtains, but the sun comes through just fine. There are way better "blackout" curtains out there. They are typically heavy, and have an inner layer devoted to blocking light. These do not. If you need to sleep or watch movies in your home theater during the day, and you need window blackout capability, I strongly suggest avoiding these.

I bought 2 sets of these for my office and spare bedroom that are on the south side of my house and have drafty windows with zero thermal insulation, and they work great! They're exactly what I need to help moderate the temp in my office, it keeps the heat out in the summer and the cold out in the winter, in addition to providing blackout properties for days I have a migraine but still have to work.

Amazing! Great product!

These drapes are great- definitely keeping the light and cold out. My husband works nights and he can sleep during the day with no problem....it’s really dark. I bought 2 pair for nice fullness. I haven’t steamed them yet as I was just anxious to get up and the holidays were upon us. However the wrinkles have fallen out by about 90%. I will still steam- nice and heavy yet satiny feel of this fabric. I got them at a sale price which was a bonus ( not huge sale- but nice) I researched black out drapes for at least 3 hours and chose these. I definitely recommend them. I can’t believe how they block out the sound as well- we live on the major street in our city!

Ordered the burgundy curtains and they work perfectly. The picture is a little deceptive.. It almost looks as though there is light streaming in but I swear they block all the light (I think my camera just enhances the light). The curtains are made of a rich, thick, and soft material and block light VERY WELL. Little tip.. Order probably 15-20cm bigger than your window size (width) to help block the bleeding light from the sides of the curtains. I'm very sensitive to light when I sleep and now I sleep like a baby. SO HAPPY with the purchase!

Not as Dark as they say & i wanted I could not return I lost the package got tosses with out me knowing so hear they sit... If i had the package they would have gone back

I'll be honest, they aren't 100% blackout. BUT, they do still darken the room and keep the sun out of our face. My bedroom window is facing right where the sun rises and these curtains do the job! I'll definitely be ordering again for another room in my home.
