PONY DANCE Blackout Curtains Set - Window Treatments Rod Pocket Draperies Light Block Curtain Panels for Kids' Room Kitchen & Bathroom, W 42 by L 45 inches, Blue Mist, 2 Pieces

I just can't say enough about these. My son got a job working nights so wanted to be sure he could sleep alright during the day...Holy Cow did these make his room dark...one would have thought it was pitch black outside at noon. I got a second set for my room I was so impressed and just ordered another set for the living room window (112 x 84 ) window since they also claim to help with heating and cooling. They look very nice, are pretty well made and do their job as well as expected if not better.

So first - you have to understand that you're paying less than $20 for TWO curtain panels...if you're expecting to be dark like you're inside a cave, you're going to be disappointed. I am, however, very happy with this purchase. I bought these because, with the time change, my 6 year old though it was a good idea to wake up with the sun... leaving me with a very cranky first grader before lunch. We put these up last night, and this morning I had to wake up him for breakfast and school.A few things - I DID buy these in black, which I would assume would be the most effect color for light blocking. His window also has blinds - which means that the curtain have help blocking the light.It's not like you go into his room and it feels like midnight - but it blocks enough light that you can very comfortably stay asleep in the morning. If you truly need curtains that mimic night time during the day, these probably aren't for you. Honestly, you probably just need to foil the window to get the best light blocking possible.

I just love the beautiful sheen on these curtains. I purchased these in blue for a bathroom and closet. It's a beautiful blue, a cross between blue and navy. The color is rich and vibrant and just beautiful. If you want a navy blue this is not it, and if you have to have a specific shade plan ahead in case the color is wrong for you. They do a great job blocking light, and helps with cold air drafts in the winter. Planning to buy more to replace other curtains.

These curtains are better than I expected for the price. The material is soft and hangs well, feels like a soft twill. Sometimes drapes are so light, they just don't hang right, these are nice. Both panels matched in length. I looked at these originally as my bedroom window faces the west and after some 90 degree days, where my bedroom was 85 still at midnite, I decided I needed more on the window besides wooden blinds, and cheaper than a portable air conditioner. But, due to having the baseboard heater under the window, I needed some that were shorter than the regular 63", and found these, the 45" is just perfect, covers the window, hangs about 4" below the sill, and looks nice. I got the beige as I did not a blackout, cave bedroom, just mainly to block out some of the heat and add privacy. They do darken the bedroom but not a lot. I like them, and am happy I got them.

The curtains pretty much meant my expectations, they were soft and when I opened the package they shook out without a wrinkle! I'd say the blackout quality is about 98%. I consider that exceptionally good being that they are not lined at all. I would buy them again. I did buy the black ones, so I don't know how well the other colors black out the light.

The purpose for these was to keep the street lamp light (it is bright!) out of my bedroom and keep it dark for a couple hours after sunrise. Well... purpose achieved. I made a makeshift method of hanging these up with a cord across the top of my window. I fold these up and store them every morning, and when I pull them back out at night, they are wrinkle free and with no lint or dust stuck to them. I suppose these could be left up hanging on a curtain rod with an additional curtain, layered on top; these would look fine. Highly recommended if you want to darken a room with bright lights hitting the window from the outside. Sweet dreams!

I wanted to shade the sun from two south-facing windows in my bedroom so I bought a set of these. I'm very pleased with how they dim the light. They don't have black on the back, but they're of thick enough material that it makes a difference. After I hung them and slept in the room for one night, I came back and order a pair for both my living room and guest bedroom windows that face west. I think that they are a very fair product for the price.

I had blinds on all of my windows because they are so inexpensive. I was tired of cheap, crappy curtains. I didn't think I could get super nice curtains for so cheap and for some reason, I didn't look on amazon.This is actually the second time I purchased these curtains. The first time was over 2 years ago when we re-did our bedroom but ended up not painting, so I never took them out of the package. We were finally ready to install them last week and I loved them so much, I bought more for the living room.These are GREAT quality and while they're not 100% BLACKOUT, they really do darken the room up, even the white sets we have. (White in the bedroom, red in the living room).I will be buying more for the kids' rooms, and one more set for the other living room windows soon.You really cannot go wrong with these... just wish they had more colors.

We have a basement apartment and these curtains fit the bill. Soft, pretty ,keep out the draft and are definitely room darkening. Great curtains, and better than I expected.

They keep the room completely dark! For real! And the ruffle top is such a cute bonus

Perfect! Nice quality and completely black out. I hemmed them easily with iron-on fusing web, which worked awesome!

Half decent curtains. Effective, but you can still see specks of light through the curtains as the quality just isn’t quite perfect enough for a complete blackout.

Just painted my son's room and these curtains work great. Easy to hang, and keep the room nice and dark for sleeping.
