Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

1- Yes, you can get blackout curtains, there- but, Amazon will get them to you in 3 or 4 days. Mine arrived in 2 days. I didn't even have to leave the house! 2- IMO, the ones I saw at Walmart/Target weren't as thick. They had a black-liner- but that's about it. 3- Because they weren't as thick (to me), they didn't feel like they'd do a whole lot. ---- These curtains were well worth the purchase. They're nice, heavy & made of great material- very durable. Folded, 1 panel felt like the weight of 2 or 3 pairs of jeans. 2018 has been the hottest summer in Southern California- that I can remember, ever. I wanted these curtains to help keep the heat out of my direct, afternoon-sunlit-room. I didn't care about darkness. I was damn-near ready to find a way to mount my auto-shade onto the window sill. Not only did these curtains block out the sun & heat- they kept the room at a more-than-tolerable, temperature. -When I buy another set- no question about it- I'll come back & buy these. **Note- If you want your room dark- stretch the curtains out, to where the top (by the bar) is flattened. Pin curtain to the walls using thumbtacks. Folder the bottom of the curtain to sit on the window sill. This should lessen the amount of light (therefor, Heat) from creeping into the room.
