NICETOWNWhite 100% Truly Blackout Curtains, Rod Pocket Super Heavy-Duty Black Lined Total Darkness Drapes for Hall, Privacy Window Treatment Curtains for Patio (2 PCs, 52-inch W x 108-inch L)

These blackout curtains were purchased to block out the light from the parking lot and car lights that shine in the bedrooms in an apt. They work just like we planned. The rooms are almost dark like caves with just a little light creeping in. So much better sleeping at night.Phoenix winters are mild, but we anticipate they will help keep out some of the triple digit heat temps in the summer.Well-made curtains. Highly recommend if need to blackout a room 99%.

These curtains are very nicely made. I ordered the white rod-pocket curtains (with black on the inside for total blackout effect) and I am so pleased with my purchase! The material is soft and supple, high quality, and they hang beautifully. I have also purchased these blackout curtains with grommets and they also are thick and beautifully made, just make sure you mount the grommet-style blackout curtains high enough to prevent the sun from shining through the grommets. The rod-pocket style can hang from a regular rod, and for a very easy installation you can buy a tension rod and mount the curtains inside of the window casing. I have purchased 8 pairs of this particular brand over the past few years and remain very pleased that they still look brand new, they still hang beautifully and look great.

Update 9 June, 2022.As we head into blazing heat (heat index next week is 105), I have to say, we are still pleased with these curtains. Our slumlord won't replace our windows from the Dec. 11 tornadoes (He has to save that $44k in insurance money instead or providing for his tenants) so we have plastic up. With these curtains, it helps so much in keeping the AC in and the heat out. I just opened the curtains just to look out and you can feel an immediate difference.The white color doesn't stay well at all and gets worse with each wash, but for our heat/Air, it's worth it.Update - 16 Feb, 2021:Wind chill outside is 1 F. There is a noticeable difference with the curtains closed (we need new windows). These are nice and thick curtains.Also, with the curtains closed, at night with the lights on inside, from outside it looks like everything is off and we're in bed.Great sound damper too.But when you wash them that great stark white is no more. It gets off-white. And the wrinkles are STILL there.But still great curtain and buying more.I can't comment on energy efficiency because I just hung them. Wrinkles out of the box but that may disappear with time and washing.These remind me of those heavy drapes we had in the '70s. These are heavy and thick. Very soft as well.I used the Umbra Twilight double curtain rod. Just in case I wanted to add a darkening liner behind it. Don't think I'll need to!I'll be hanging a valance byt so far these have done well with room darkening.

Very thick and truly a blackout with double layer, thick, good quality fabric. Have bought two sets and will buy again

These curtains are very nice quality. They’re a bit expensive, but thick and well-made for the most part, and they really do offer total blackout capability, even with the blinds open behind them. So in that regard they are well worth the money.I wasn’t able to hang the curtain rod very high above my window, so a bit of light came though at the top, but I helped that by ordering some inexpensive pashmina shawls and folding them into the cracks above the roll-down blinds. With that in place, there’s very little light leakage. And none of that is really the fault of the curtains themselves - I only mention it in case other people have that particular issue.The only caveat I have with these pertains to the pure white color, which is what I originally ordered. I ended up returning those and getting the biscotti beige instead, and I’ll tell you the reasons why, for those who may be considering them.The pure white curtains have a black backing behind them like the others, and the dark color renders the white a cool, grayish tone, which didn’t go well with my more off-white paint. It gave the room a kind of stark, institutional hospital feel, and the curtains looked more like homemade bedsheets hung up than professional curtains. It wasn’t the nice homey feel I was going for at all.Also (and more importantly) the black backing was not sewn all the way up through the rod pocket, which allowed light to shine through the pocket from behind. This cut down on the blackout effect, obviously, and you could see the black, uneven, unfinished hem very clearly, including a lot of untrimmed threads. I found this very distracting and unattractive, so that’s why I returned them. The beige color didn’t have this issue, and is fully blackout-capable.My suggestion to the company would be that they offer these curtains in a nice cream or ivory color, and use a dark brown backing instead of the black, so it doesn’t change the warm tone of the fabric from the front. Sew the backing all the way up through the rod pocket, in order to prevent light leakage.I would also suggest offering a divided rod pocket, since the one provided is maybe two or three inches long, and this is much wider than is necessary for most standard curtain rods. In the case of my apartment, for example, where the window is close to the ceiling and I couldn’t hang the rod very high, it would have been great to have a two-part rod pocket so that I could have used the lower half, which would have created a ruffle at the top that would have blocked more light and increased the blackout effect. This is just an idea for future consideration.In general, though, these are awesome curtains, with the exception of the white color, which really could use some tweaking. Also the fabric seems slightly snaggy - a couple of the panels came with minor snags on them, which I managed to repair by pushing them back in. Not a major deal, but something to be aware of if you have other potentially snagging objects around them.Overall I’m very pleased with these curtains, though, and they do seem to make my apartment noticeably quieter and more insulated than it was before. I’m sure they will do a good job of keeping the heat and cold out year round.As a side note, make sure you have a fairly sturdy rod to hang these on, as they are reasonably heavy by nature. I hung them on the second-cheapest standard white rods from Walmart, and while they do work, I had to mount them very carefully or the rods would try to fold up on me like cardboard. I would hang them at one end, then on the center support, then finally pull the rod out at the other end to attach it to the bracket.I would recommend a more substantial rod if you can afford it. Using the kind that curves around at the ends will increase the blackout effect as well. You may also need to install plastic anchors for the center support, to give it a little more backbone.

These are nice true blackout curtains. They help so much if you work midnights, they will block out all the light! They are also nice in the winter if your windows are drafty.

They're curtains. They're cheap. They're getting the job done.

Blocks all light and looks great.Minor complaint: Very top and bottom hem does not have the blackout material coverage. Only an issue if the height and mounting is off and want absolute 100% blackout.

Great quality, heavy material, no light passes through and the price, amazing! Although, if you’re planning on putting them inside your window frame the black double layer only goes up to the opening (see pictures). So from your outside view we see the black and white which bothers me a little but overall i recommend!

Bloquean super bien la luz

Installation was a breeze, accommodating a range of curtain rods or tracks. These curtains enable privacy, the blackout feature not only keeps unwanted light out but also shields the interior from prying eyes. This added layer of privacy enhances the overall comfort of my living space.

Realmente bloquea la luz del exterior, son gruesas y resistentes, calidad precio van acorde, una buena compra.

Great for black out. Difficult to open curtains on the rod though
