Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These blackout white curtains from H. Versailtex come with this promise on the packaging: "Roll out the red carpet and give guests that 'wow' feeling every time they walk through your door and window." First of all, let me say that I hope that none of my guests ever walk through one of my windows; although that would certainly give them that 'wow' feeling more than these curtain panels. I was pleased when I got them and felt the considerable thickness of the fabric. They are not total blackout, but they certainly block a lot of light. They are not actually white, but more of a dove grey which was acceptable. I like the idea that you can hang them through the pocket or using the tabs on the back. All good so far. The bad started after I put them up on the rod. I realized that one side was not hanging as low as the other side. Thinking it was my rod hanging acumen, I pulled out a level and verified that the rod was indeed perfectly level. Now I'm a slow learner so I thought maybe if I just tug the one side a bit, I can even it with the other. Bad idea. The bracket pulled out of the wall around the top nail, taking a bit of plaster and part of my security deposit with it. Not needing to be hit on the head with a brick, I quickly removed the rod, amidst a torrent of words I cannot repeat here, and pulled my "red carpet" curtains off it. I laid them out on the floor to verify my slowly dawning fear that I had just put a hole in my wall where there should be none, due to the panels being two different lengths. Bingo! There was a half inch disparity between the two panels' lengths. (Please see attached pics) Thank you so much Versailtex for this wonderful learning experience with your Made In China product. I will have to see if I can return your lovely curtains or if it will be just as cost efficient to keep them and 'wow' my guests as they walk through my door by using these shoddily made panels as door mats on which they can wipe their feet.
