Review on Deconovo Insulated Blackout Curtains For Bedroom - Back Tab And Rod Pocket Thermal Window Coverings, Turquoise, 52X84 Inch, 2 Panels by John Surabhi

I purchased a 3 packs of 63" panels (2 in a pack) in 3 different colors. Turquoise, Light Blue and Rose.I LOVE these curtains! Sadly I returned them all because the colors weren't working for the existing bedrooms I wanted to match.Colors -- Beautiful!Rose is very warm pink shade. Almost a jewel tone but more subdued. I liked that it is feminine without being too girly. This would look nice in a adult bedroom or even a living room with the right color scheme.Light Blue -- This was also a lovely shade of blue. Not too pale. Not a bright blue either. The only reason I didn't use it was because I was putting it in a room with yellow walls and the blue wasn't strong enough to compete with the yellow. I needed a shade that was just tad more vibrant.Turquoise -- I have to say that the color is one of the prettiest turquoise tones I've seen. It is in the blue family of turquoise, not green. And it's not too dark, but not shocking peacock either. Nevertheless, I was trying to match my turquoise bedskirt and it wasn't the right shade. (It was a long shot since turquoise is so difficult to match!) I'm so disappointed because I really prefer this color over the darker turquoise of my bedskirt. If I were handy with sewing I'd be tempted to buy more of these and make my own bed skirt!Quality -- Excellent! The material is heavy and smooth with a bit of a sheen, but not shiny. It feels & looks "expensive" and hangs nicely. The package of 2 curtains weighs 2.5 pounds, so each 63" panel is over a pound of material. It's called a black-out curtain and it definitely blocks most sunlight. Maybe not 100%, but at least 90%. Enough that you could nap during the day with no problem. I also like that it is the same color on both sides so it would look nice even from the outside. (These are not lined because the fabric is thick enough it doesn't need lining.) Both of the panels I received were identical and hemmed evenly. The thread used to sew the rod pocket, tabs, and bottom hem matches the fabric and the sewing is very good.Technical Details --The curtains have both a rod pocket and back tabs. I tried it with the back tabs on a standard flat curtain rod and it really didn't work well because there's just too much fabric between each back tab -- the outward and inward "waves" are just too deep and it bunched up and the weight of the fabric made the waves droop. However, the product picture shows it hung using the a round rod through the back tabs. So, it would probably work fine with a round rod. The inside diameter of each tab"slot" is 2", so you could use up to 2" inch diameter rod, but it might be a snug fit. If you want them to slide open and closed easily, you'd be better use a rod smaller than 2".All in all, I would definitely buy Deconovo curtains again -- and I plan to order a neutral beige or navy for my master bedroom after we re-paint it in a couple weeks. For the price, you will not find a better curtain!
