Add this to my list of regrets

So I bought a whole HOUSE full of these curtains to rent out for the holidays. I initially only bought 4 panels for one room so I can see the color. All is well (I wish I had unpacked them beforehand, of course) so I ordered about 20 more panels to finish the house. when to start The colors in the different paint batches were EXCELLENT. I mean WAY. The first sets on 84 inch Stone Beige Curtains were a pretty nice color. I have warm taupe tile floors and they looked great. Not great but okay. The colors in subsequent sets degenerated into a cheesy beige with an almost pink tinge. and this was even more evident when they were hung and closed in a sunny window. Which brings me to problem #2. Calling them "blackouts" is just false advertising. They kind of darken the room, but they certainly do NOT darken. Secondly, since the curtains often come out of one pack, they are quite wrinkled. My solution has always been to soak the curtains in water and hang them wet. Wrinkles fall out as they dry. Light. nope did them the same and they got MUCH worse. Scars and edges were bent, and wrinkles appeared in new places. They need to be ironed vigorously. Yes, and even without a hair dryer, they sit down a little. Finally, all curtains are hung on 1 inch rods. No problem. The description says they fit 2" poles and I have a 1.5" wooden pole for a window (needed to span a long opening with no center support). Yes, they are attached to a pole and yes, with a bit of persuasion, you can open the curtains. However, it is absolutely NOT possible to tighten curtains on a 1.5 inch or larger rod (at least not on a wooden rod). I definitely regret this purchase.

Pros
  • Sturdy workmanship
Cons
  • Damaged
