Best Home Fashion Thermal Insulated Blackout Curtains - Back Tab/ Rod Pocket - Black - 52"W x 84"L - (Set of 2 Panels)

The material on these curtains feels wonderful. It flows wonderfully. The stitching on the curtain, however, was done carelessly. I will order in another color but will definitely return them if the stitching is bad again.

I ordered these curtains in an effort to cut down the amount of sunlight in my bedroom. I am very pleased with the purchase. These curtains are well made and luxurious. The price was fantastic. Most of all, they are certainly light blocking and I would definitely consider them as black out curtains. See photos for results.

Bought these for our nursery. They are super soft but have a few snags straight out of the packaging.

As a retired Union Ironworker who spent almost my entire adult working life exposed to the elements and sun of the extreme spectrum of Northern Illinois weather, from not seeing above freezing from end of November to March, and rarely reaching even reaching 0 degrees in January and February to extreme heat and humidity from end of June to end of August with highs in upper 90s and humidity in the 90 plus percentage. When I would get home, I wanted to feel like I am indoors. I also suffer from allergies. After my parents passed away, I bought out my siblings and was able to by my home outright. It worked out well because, Mom got sick a couple years after my father passed and I moved in to help take care of her. And one of the things we were planning before she passed was getting rid of the custom vertical blinds and eventually the wall to wall carpet(which is covering up beautiful honey oak hardwood floors) that was all the rage in the late 1980s. I am sure someone spent quite a sum of money having those blinds made and installed but not only did they not do a great job of blocking out light or drafts or blocking the afternoon sun and solar heat blasting through my living picture window which faces due west in the summer or the frigid drafts that slip through during our frigid winters so it was time for a change. AND YES THEY ARE VERY EFFECTIVE AT BLOCKING OUT LIGHT AND SO FAR IN OUR EXTREME VARIED FALL TEMPS THEY HAVE HELPED KEEP THE LIVING ROOM COOL BY BLOCKING SOLAR HEAT AND WE HAVE HAD SOME EVENINGS IN LOWER 20s AND I FOR THE FIRST TIME COULD SIT ON MY COUCH WITH THE HEAT OFF AND NOT HAVE TO PUT ON A SWEATER. Best Home Fashion also makes a Tie-Up Shade Solid Insulated Thermal Blackout Window Shade http://www.amazon.com/Tie-Up-Insulated-Thermal-Blackout-L-BURGANDY/dp/B001BAIGU4/ref=pd_sbs_hg_15?ie=UTF8&refRID=042V5VDYMMQSRTWGWSWT which are made of the same exact material and colors and match perfectly. I have also hung two of those. So I have two bedrooms left to do. My son's and my own and while there is no question as to what brand I am choosing BEST HOME FASHION, i am faced with the decision of if I am going to cover all the windows with the insulated curtains or the larger double window in each room with the curtains and the smaller single windows the matching tie up shade. The cost will be about the same because I allowed him to choose what color he wanted and he chose burgundy and that is the color I am going to install in my room. So I can either buy 3 sets of the insulated curtains which come in pairs and split one pair up and hang a panel in each room or 2 sets of curtains and 2 matching tie up shades. I will make up my mind over the next few days as I see if the insulating performance of the tie up shade is as excellent as the curtains. I was expecting to have to spend a ton of money to rid my house of the quickly deteriorating and out of style vertical blinds. But for the quality of product you get these are very inexpensive. I also recommend installing redi shade pleated paper shades not only are they very inexpensive and super easy to install and able to cut the exact size to fit each window perfectly, they come in either original white or blackout black, and other colors, in widths of either 36 or 48 inches and cost between $30 to $34 for a box of six. You just measure the inside of the window, mark the paper shade and use a sharp kitchen knife or utility knife to cut them to sides, they also help to cut down with drafts. I hung the curtains and these with Kenney Ball Deco Window Curtain Rods which are $11.70 for 28-48 inch rods and $15 for 48-86 inch rods. So will be able to completely replace all my window treatments 14 windows in all, for $461 if I do all curtains and $467 if I put up one of these in each bedroom. I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE FINAL PANELS ARRIVE BECAUSE JUST AS MY LIVING ROOM WINDOW FACES DUE WEST AND GETS FULL AFTERNOON SUN....MY LARGE BEDROOM WINDOW FACES DUE EAST AND THE SUN BLASTS RIGHT IN EVERY MORNING. So I cannot recommend the Best Home Fashion Thermal Window Treatments enough.

These curtains are absolutely beautiful, the quality is amazing. They are black out, thick with a beautiful dusty rose sheen.

I’ve bought 3 different colors! They’re thick and perfect color match to pictures! They do a great job blocking light!

Many blackout curtains are stiff and don't hang well, but these are the opposite. Soft and flexible, these are like regular curtains with the added bonus of being good blackout. I'll buy more as needed.

The drapes are a thick material which was good. The cream color was good, much more neutral than the blue drapes I was replacing. I don’t think these drapes are as good at keeping out the cold as my last thermal drapes. While they are a thick material, the other drape seem to work better because they had a foam backing.I put these on a curtain rod using the rod pocket, as opposed to using the back tabs. Trouble was, the material of the back tabs was so thick, the drapes really wouldn’t pull back because there was so much material up there. I ended up having to cut off all the little back tabs.
