These draperies are beautiful but toxic!
These draperies are gorgeous and they definitely block out light. I don’t normally leave reviews however I feel anyone wanting to purchase these should be aware they are toxic, yes...I mean toxic. After hanging them, I began experience breathing problems, severe congestion, and I would wake up all night coughing. There was an odd musty smell, I swore we had a mold problem. After 3 months of suffering (and I’m not exaggerating, it was bad), my husband said to me “You started having this problem after we hung those draperies “. I looked up my order on Amazon and sure enough the time lines coincided. We immediately removed the draperies and within 24 hours the musty smell was gone and my health returned to normal. I don’t know what the black out lining is made of, but whatever it is, it’s definitely toxic.
