Excellent quality; total blackout
I originally purchased the regular Nicetown blackout curtains, but they let A LOT of light through. I liked the color and material, but they just weren't what I was looking for. I've checked out these curtains again recently, and it seems they've renamed them to clarify that they are 50% blackout curtains, which still seems a little misleading. Maybe they could call them gray out curtains, or just....curtains. Anyways, after a couple nights of terrible sleep, I returned them ordered these 100% blackout curtains, and they are incredible! The curtains are thick and remind me of heavy hotel curtains. Even in broad daylight, they make my bedroom completely pitch black. The material is also really nice. My only complaint is that they're kind of a pain to de-wrinkle. I put them in the dryer with a damp cloth for twenty minutes, and I also ironed them before hanging them. However, I think it was time well-spent, as they now look pretty elegant. Overall, these curtains look good and will help improve your sleep, so if you're considering getting blackout curtains, you can't go wrong with these. Update, several months later: My neighbor texted me this morning asking what happened at our other neighbor's house last night. I replied that I went to be early and didn't know what he was talking about. It turns out that she had a gas leak, and a firetruck was parked in front of my house for 30 minutes, flashing its lights. I'm an incredibly light sleeper, and two of my 3 bedroom windows face the street, so the fact that I slept through the night makes me even more convinced that these curtains are the real deal! GET THEM!!!
