Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
