Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

*Curtains open vs. curtains closed in my pictures.* I bought these for my master bedroom at my new house. The windows face west so after 4pm every day the sun blasts through the windows. It's really hot and really bright in there, even with blinds installed. When I hung these up today it instantly became dark as night in the room. I have other blackout curtains from JCPennys in my front room downstairs, and these ones are 100x better. I'm very impressed, especially for being so affordable. Also shipping was extremely quick. I'm posting pictures of 2 rooms that face the same direction in my house, one with these curtains and one without so you can see the difference! There are blinds on all the windows as well but they're closed in all the pictures.
