Deconovo 100% Blackout Curtains – Noise Reducing, Thermal Insulated Drapes – Grommet Room Darkening Window Panels – Light Blocking & Privacy Protection (Dark Grey, 42x84 Inch, 1 Panel)

I ordered two of these curtains in the navy blue color and I'm about to order more to put on other windows! These curtains really do a good job at blocking light, they slide easily on the curtain rod, and I love the color! The color, at least the navy blue, does seem accurate to what I received.Yes, perhaps they are not 100% blackout but compared to other brands of "blackout" curtains, these ones are better at blocking light. In the first two pictures, you can see how these curtains (the two hanging in the middle of the window) compare to another brand of "blackout" curtains (the two on either side of the window). And in the last picture you can see how a third brand (and this one with vinyl backing!) compares. The navy blue curtains by Deconovo clearly block more light.The coverage width of the two panels is about 74"The fourth picture shows how some light does penetrate through the curtains, but for my purposes it's not an issue. The fifth picture shows how one panel of these curtains fits over a ~40" wide window. As you can see you could get away with one panel on this size window, however two would be better.I have not washed them as they did not have a strong odor when I received them nor did they have any wrinkles. When I do eventually wash them, I plan to wash on cold and hang dry. I'll try to remember to update on how that turns out!

I made sure to look at other reviews before buying this, I measured my windows, and my package arrived very quickly.. I seen people say theirs were ripped, lost, damaged so I was worried, but for me I honestly had none of those problems. I ordered it, it came in 2 days, they're the exact size I measured for, and during mid-day with the brightest sunlight, it blocked almost all of the light for me. I bought the Royalty Blue but I seen some people buy the peach or white color so maybe it's not going to reflect most light. Definitely the darker or more solid colours do an amazing job. The curtains are so soft and smooth feeling, like a weird stretchy rubber cloth or something, but it's soft and very pretty. Definitely iron it with steam to get rid of the wrinkles but other than that, I have no complaints at all on my end with the product. Beautiful, thick, it's not heavy at all, blocks the sunlight fantastically, and looks really pretty. It's a decent price too but MAYBE you can find it cheaper elsewhere? I haven't seen a product like this in stores so idk.EDIT: Also, as a side note, since it's been getting colder and my windows are old with big cracks and can't open/close, it gets cold in my room unless I sit next to my heater. To my surprise it does hold the cold wind back pretty decently. It's not completely insulating my room BUT I can definitely feel a difference from having them away from the window and it covering the window. I didn't think it would help with it but honestly it works pretty nicely for me. It won't protect you from a hurricane but if your windows are broken like mine, it's definitely a great way to reduce the weather dropping in on you.

These are TRUE blackout curtains!!! FINALLY I found some curtains that you truly cannot see through. This is (almost) exactly what I was looking for! I went through several other curtains that claimed to be blackout curtains but really, they still let a lot of light through. I had to return several before finally finding these.These really don't let ANY light through, they're fantastic for both my office, where I have to do minute color adjustments on architectural illustrations on my computer monitor AND my bedroom, where the nearby train station's blinding lights keep me up all night unless I wear one of those sleeping blindfolds, which are really uncomfortable.So here are the pros and cons in my opinion:PROS:- They REALLY don't let ANY light in- They are made of very thick, high quality materials- They look fantastic - again, they appear to be high quality.- The metal rings also seem like they are made to last, no fringing of the cloth or anything like that around the ringsCONS:- Only one that I can think of and it's something really small: These are 42" in width, and while that will cover some smaller windows, it's slightly small for covering a standard 36.5" wide window. Especially if the double window has a center cap like mine. Due to the curtain needing to "wave" back and forth (because it's held by a curtain rod), the actual width comes out to around 37" total, which just barely covers the window. It would be really nice to see a wider option that we could choose. Perhaps one with a 60" width, which would cover the window and a center gap if you've got one (the center gaps are fairly typical).Overall though, I'd highly recommend these to anyone trying to "blackout" a room! These work better than any other curtains I've seen so far!

I needed a single curtain panel for the 72" sliding door in our bedroom to block light and add to our decor. This curtain has done both! It is not a total blackness in our room, but all that we require. The light does not shine through the fabric, just around the curtain and they are quite solid. I ordered the Orange-Red color which is bit of a "burnt orange" but is perfect to go with our multi-colored bed cover.Our first order had to be returned because the bottom hem was not even. The second one that came was the same. Because I liked the curtain so much, I contacted Deconovo directly in the hope that they could confirm that my third order would be the charm and the hem would be even. Their customer service rep Adam really went the distance with me with multiple emails and literally contacting Amazon to open a package and check the quality! All for an item costing $33.79!Overall I am very pleased with the product, and though it would have been nice not to have to do the returns, it was worth the effort and I would recommend the item.
