Review on Extra Wide 96 Inch Thermal Insulated Grommet Patio Door Curtain In Natural Linen Look, 100% Blackout For Living Room, Sliding Glass Door, And Primitive Window Decor by Alan Sawyer

I shopped around and these were the lowest priced blackout curtains I could find on Revain in the size and color I needed. I'm knocking off one star because when I got these curtains they were super wrinkled. Hanging them up and hoping the wrinkles fade away won't work, and just washing them and tossing in the dryer didn't help either. I had to break out the old iron and manually get rid of all the wrinkles. I bought another pair of curtains before these that I had to return and those were nice and smooth right out of the package so I know you can get curtains that don't need ironing, just not these.I got the white ones with white back and they are a pure white color. The material from a distance is kind of plain, sort of looks like thick tarp material. Up close it has a linen look. The thickness is a plus when you close the curtains because the weight of one side hangs over the other slightly making an almost seamless cover that hides the outside light.I'd say the blackout quality is about 95%, and for white curtains that's pretty good. Actually if its cloudy outside these are definitely total blackout curtains. I hang these on windows that get both morning sun from the east that hits the white wall of a building outside my windows and reflects into my house, and also the sunset that comes directly into the windows. These curtains definitely help darken the room and have made a huge difference in my sleep patterns. I wish I got these a long time ago because in the past I'd always wake up early due to the room getting bright. With these I can easily sleep in nice and rested.I can say that if I were to order these again I might get the version that have the black background. With the white background I get a soft white glow behind the curtains in the morning and afternoon. It's not terrible, and I can live with it, but I'll bet with the black background the room would be totally dark.I also wish these curtains came with an attached rod you can use to open to close but when shopping for this specific size I couldn't find any that came with a pull rod. Hard to believe but it looks like pull rods cost about as much as the curtains! Guess I'll just keep using my hands to open and close.
