I purchased two of these panels for use in a kitchen/dining window that faces the street. They are not blackout curtains and let a fair amount of light in (especially considering that my window faces north and never receives direct sunlight), but I consider that a positive for the room they're in. At night when all the house lights are on, from outside you can see the pattern through the curtain but you cannot see through it at all, except for shadows from a piece of furniture that sits right up against it. The fabric itself feels heavy and is a little stiff, which is exactly what I wanted, and is printed one one side and white on the other, although as I mentioned, the pattern does show through when backlit.

I plan to buy more of these curtains and would recommend them for anyone wanting a solid (not sheer) curtain that still allows some light through. BE AWARE, though, that the color shown in the photo is not accurate. The main red color is rather pinkish and the main tan is actually olive. It does have red and tan accent colors, but they are much smaller than they appear in the photo. It also has bands of black, dark blue and brown. If you are hoping to match a specific color in your decorating, you may be disappointed when you receive these. However, there are so many colors represented that you may find that they still fit your color scheme even if they aren't a perfect match. My house is mostly neutral colors for the walls, carpet and furniture with colorful accent pieces, so the curtains added some color to the room.

I would have rated these curtains 5-stars based upon quality, but dropped it to four because of the dramatic difference in color between the photo and the actual product. Be prepared for the possibility that you may need to return them if you're not flexible about color.

Love them get lots of compliments on them

just as I ordered

We recently remodeled a room, and needed the new drapes to blend in with the rest of the room. These go well with the room color, furniture and rug. They are sheer enough that sunlight will penetrate them, but I open them when I want to fill the room with sunlight.
These are easy to install and maintain, plus the sale price was a bargain!

I was not disappointed when these curtains arrived.
