Not 100% blackout, but practically blackout. They're way better than the other "blackout" curtains I purchased from Target. Based on some other reviews, I was hesitant to try these. I'm recovering from Post Concussion Syndrome, and light makes my head hurt. I bought these for one room in my house as a test. They blackout enough light that I purchased more for every room of my house except the kitchen and bathroom. The picture is how the room looks in broad daylight (11:45 AM, bright cloudless day, August in California). I think if I was a night shift worker, needing to sleep during daylight, I would probably supplement these curtains with these liners https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003CHNBV8/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which I put in my bedroom, and they block all light (except the top, which you could probably block with a towel or blanket or something).
I live in an apartment complex full of little goblins people call children. They like to run up and down the sidewalk for no discernible reason yelling at the top of their lungs while their parents watch on in mild amusement drinking wine on their patio. Lovely family time, I guess. So, naturally, I put these on every window I could. And now my evenings are much quiter, without sacrificing the look of my apartment. They’re easy to pull back during the day when the goblins are away and easy to cover when they emerge in the evenings. So I can just cover my windows and put on a movie and it’s like they’re not even there! These block out a lot of light and sound from the neighborhood and match my decor nicely. I put sheer white curtains over these to create a softer look in the bedroom and it’s gorgeous! Saves my sanity and creates a nice atmosphere.
Very nice curtains and really thick too. Does not allow light to pass through (see pics attached). Overall, its worth the money you pay and I highly recommend this product.
We needed blackout machine-washable curtains for our west facing sun room. But replacing all of them would be very costly so I first got a cheap pair of Eclipse that was on sale. They blocked the sun okay but the texture was horrible. It was like those sticky-plastic-y-old-and-dirty-motel-bulky curtains.
So I searched a bit more and found those. They are awesome! Sure, they don't look expensive nor fancy at all, but definitely not like that horrible sticky vinyl texture. These are thick, soft and light. For those who want to spend less, these are for ya!
We wanted to block the sun but I hate having dark color curtains. The beige worked out perfectly. It's not 100% blackout but does a good job of blocking about 85% sun and heat, so I bought again for the entire house. I also got white and grayish white.
The white did not block the sun much (maybe 50%, see picture). I was a bit worried how dark the grayish white would look. I was happy to see that it was very light gray. It "almost" looks like white in a shadow. It does a better blocking than white, although not as effective as beige.
I also like the grommet design. It's so easy to open and close the curtains.
I definitely buy again and recommend those!
The picture is dark which goes to show you the curtains work. The color is as pictured in the photo. These are certainly blackout and solid curtains.

We have east-facing windows and the sun heats up our house in the afternoon/evening. These have been excellent for keeping our dining room dark and cool!
Keeps the heat down in Phoenix. Every outside wall to our Lab is floor to ceiling glass. We live & work on the top af one of the taller buildings downtown. I put these up in the studio behind computer racks, between the blinds and glass. They knocked down temperatures in the lab by 5-6 degrees immediately. 👍
Ordered Platinum and absolutely love them! We recently had our windows replaced and the new windows are wider than the old so re-installing the the old roman shade inside of the window opening is no longer an option (and they look silly installed on the outside of the window where curtains are normally hung) so we were looking for a curtain that would allow us to omit blinds/shades, etc completely. Of course, we're talking about a 2.5 year old's room so the desire to block sun during nap-time and bedtime was an absolute must! These curtains are beautiful, super soft, and block out light just as expected. Understand that these curtains are "room darkening" NOT "blackout" so of course you will still have a tiny bit of light come through, but it's very dim! The "Platinum" coloring is a very light grey color which looks great against my daughter's lilac colored walls! I recommend these curtains above all and would definitely buy again! I only wish the backing of the other colors was white so I could get rid of all the dust collecting blinds/shades and replace every window in my house with these curtains! (HOA regulations require white in the window so I would still need blinds or shades).
So I bought these for my toddlers room. I was getting really sick of waking up at 430AM EVERY morning because the sun would wake him up. I decided to invest in some blackout curtains! Only problem is that his room is mostly grey. You would not believe how hard it is to find grey black out curtains. Luckily I just happen to find these beauty's on Amazon. Let's start with quality. Thick but with a very smooth feeling. Blocks out all the light WHICH MEANS MY SON HAS BEEN SLEEPING TILL 7am every morning!!! You can definitely tell they are going to last awhile because this quality is fantastic! I would buy again in a heartbeat!
Exactly what I was looking for - 41"x41" windows and I used two panels on each one. Stunning color - ordered teal for my coral-and-teal color-schemed bedroom. They block out sunlight very well - so happy! Quick shipping and they came undamaged. Good quality, thick and soft too. Almost feels like velvet. The teal is true teal - my photo might look more blue, but they are teal.
EDIT MAY 2018: almost a year later, let me tell you what - do these curtains work wonders for sleep. They keep out light and you can even draw them during high afternoon sun and feel like it’s bedtime - great for a nap or watching a movie in the dark. Love them!
