Amazon Basics Room Darkening Blackout Window Curtain with Rod Pocket and Tie Back, 52 x 63 Inches, Dark Gray - Set of 2

I bought the 52*84 in black to line some existing blackout out curtains in my Den to improve warmth. The old curtains did a great job blocking light but were not thermal. I anticipated using one panel each window, the room has two windows, but one panel did not provide the overlap on the ends I wanted, and the fabric and lining (white) are heavy and thick so two panels were too much for one window. The lining is white as anticipated, which I like and wanted. I used both panels instead on a 90*54 window that had exisitng curtains hung for 84 inches and it works perfect I replaced a sheer layer of a three layer setup with these being the layer closets to the window glass. The previous set up allowed light in, these curtains blocked all the light. I'm trying decide if I want to somehow incorporate the patterned sheer panel that previously was only visible when the other two layers were openeded. If I keep it, it will be visible all the time as seen in the attached picture. The new curtains can not be seen in the picture. There is another smaller 35*53 for which I will have to purchase curtains for. The bigger window has 4 panels each of the two layers. So I'm thinking I will move one panel each to the smaller window and add one of these blackout panels, because I have had my exisitng curtains for several years and JCP no longer sales them. Overall great by, while I would not use the black as a primary layer (its not a true black, more of a dull/faded black), I would definetly by this again. I will update my photo once I finish the other window to give an idea of the level of blackout.

I'm really pleased with these blackout curtains! Let's start off with the packaging! These curtains came neatly folded and were well-protected in a very easy to open AmazonBasics box. They are definitely a little wrinkled out of the box, and I suppose you could iron the curtains if you want them straightened out, but personally I found no need to do so. My curtains came in Seafoam Green, and the colors perfectly matched the colors online. There is a white panel on the other side of the curtains, which I assume is for blocking out light. And speaking of which, these curtains really do a miraculous job of darkening your room! You can see it yourself in the pictures I've taken. Note that my camera decided to overexpose the picture with the curtains drawn; let me assure you that the room was actually really dark! I tried shining a flashlight through the curtains, and placed it directly over sunlight to see if any light would leak through, and nothing did! The tie-backs are also really simple to use and come with Velcro. I don't have any complaints about these curtains, but I will say that they are indeed very simple, no-frills curtains. You are definitely getting what you pay for, and nothing more. If you want curtains with more style, then you probably shouldn't invest in these curtains. But if you want something cheap and effective for blocking out light, then these curtains are perfect for the job. I loved these curtains so much that I bought 2 more curtains in Seafoam Green, and another one in Navy Blue.

Sea Foam Green/bought in 2021: This is my second set I bought and this color is absolutely beautiful! Its like the equivilant of very light baby blue but in aqua green. It's even better than that because they are a light and the color is not over bearing, nor takes attention away from the rest of your decor, nor clashes with other colors. The color beautifully blends and unifies all colors. Its so beautiful and relaxing to look at. It puts me in a good mood. The only bad thing about them is I wished each panel was wider by a few inches, like 60 inches wide instead of 52 inches. So, now I have to buy another set and only then will 3 panels cover my entire large window. I bought these with grommets, with the holes to insert the curtain rod. My navy blue ones I purchased before don't have grommets and now I wish I had chosen that option. Either way they are both thick but not heavy and black out your room completely. They did not smell upon opening them. I appreciate how neatly packed they come in a sturdy box that you can reuse again. I still have my old box from 2 years ago. Navy Blue/bought in 2018: These are great. They are thick. The color is vibrant but true to the dark blue tone. I havent put mine up but they are very good quality. They have a great texture too.

Initial Reaction: Being a college student, I was looking for an inexpensive, great quality, great color, and large enough curtain to block a section of my dorm from light coming from the other side. I must say, I wish I had bought these sooner. As soon as you open the box you get two curtains and two velcro straps to keep the curtains in place if you want to tie them up. I ordered the 52" x 84" curtains in Navy. Immediately, I see the great color and notice the sturdy material that I knew would be good for blacking out the light. Although the purchase came with two curtains, I only needed one to cover a distance of about 50 inches. Although the curtains are sturdy, they fit perfectly on our tension rod (it's a long and thin one, but great quality) and are not heavy enough to bend the rod. Overall, very happy with the order and I know I will be using this curtain for the rest of my time living in a dorm. Pros: -Sturdy / Thick material -Nice colors -Great for blacking out lights -Not too heavy (will be perfect for a good tension rod) -Comes with two curtains and two velcro straps Cons: -Unsure why, but one side of the curtain is white and the other side is navy. This isn't much of a problem for me, but I would rather have an all navy curtain as I was hoping for. -The slot for a tension rod or any rod is pretty small, so make sure you have a thin enough rod. Overall: Overall I would recommend this curtain to anyone, especially college students. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is because of the two different colored sides. Other than that, perfect.

I recently switched out some of my curtains and thus needed some new ones. After looking online and in store I found these and really liked the color and the price (plus they were close in color to the sheer ones I use on the same windows during the spring and summer). They arrived quickly and were just the right color for the "new look" I was going for. The quality seems to be really good and they were very easy to put up. They were very wrinkled at first, expected, but after using a steamer on them they look so much better! They are great at blocking light during the day and keeping things a little warmer as well. The one downside is that I bought two sets and one set did not have the tie-backs. Not a huge deal overall, but when I went to my orders to mention it and see if I could get them sent I couldn't. My only option would have been to send the entire set back and since I had already taken the time to hang them I did not want to do that. I will figure something else out for something that minor, but I do wish Amazon gave an option for getting just the tie-backs instead of me having to send everything back and be sent another set to solve the issue...

Excellent item! I bought two sets in white (each package comes with two panels) for my bedroom - had an issue with one set initially, but was able to get that exchanged with no problems through Amazon. The curtains are a BIG help in keeping the cold air out, along with keeping the room dark at night. I live in a condo complex and face a parking lot. The lights tend to be a bit bright outside at night so these curtains are the perfect filter for those! I'm also considering using these during the summer months to keep the hot sun out of my bedroom! My two windows already have blinds and I've had thin curtains as window treatments since moving in. After last winter, I felt I needed something a little heavier would be a help in keeping the room warmer. The length I purchased - the 52" x 84" curtains - were the perfect length and width for my windows and they are perfect for the pocket rods I have for my window treatments. These are also usable with a decorative rod, which I may get for my windows down the road. These also work WONDERFULLY with my thin curtains! All I had to do was remove the valance and put up the room darkening curtains! Plus, each set comes with it's own tie backs (they don't actually "tie" back, they're velcro) and if you want your room to look a bit more on the "formal" side, these are a definite plus! I truly LOVE these!!! I would consider telling family members about these and maybe even buying a set for my Mother's room soon!

Update: I originally ordered the beige curtains but the rod pockets were a bit hard to pull so I ordered the white grommet ones (beige wasn’t available). I will be sending the white back because for one, they arrived with some stains but also because the white color is too bright for the many cream and brown colors in the room. They are a very true pure white. I thought that I would would like the grommets better but they seemed more shower curtain like as some others have noted. This may be worsened by the fact that my curtain rods are a matte aged brass color and the plastic grommets are silver colored so they really stand out. Regardless, I am so glad that I opted to raise the curtains up to ceiling height. It makes the ceiling look so much taller. Grommets - pros - super easy to move and less light comes through at sides and middle; cons- may not match your rod, they aren’t as aesthetically appealing in my opinion, and light comes through the grommets Original review: I chose these for bedroom over other curtains because they were OEKO-TEX certified, blackout, and affordable. They are wrinkled as others have said but I don’t think that many people realize that wrinkle free treatments applied to fabric such as clothes and curtains generally contain carcinogenic chemicals. I would rather the curtains have wrinkles than a questionable chemical finish. I plan to use a steamer on them. One thing I do wish is that they had 42x96 curtains. Right now, none are available.

The length is perfect, the color is much lighter than I expected (more an off white) but works just fine for my room. I hung one to check the length & room-darkening & they both worked! I also think the insulation will be good for winter & summer. However, wrinkles from the packaging/folding are really hard. I tried tossing one panel in the dryer with a damp washcloth and after 30 minutes it was still hard-wrinkled. Then I tried pressing with a fairly hot steam iron...that didn't work either. I think I'll just launder 'em, take out of the dryer when lightly damp & hang. Hopefully that will work because I really do like these curtains & I think they're a good value. I'll update in a few weeks. UPDATE 11/9/2019: Well, I washed a pair at a time (light, air dry in the machine) and it really helped with the wrinkles. But, upon measuring & adding clip rings to the top, only two of the four pair were the same length & width AND color. The other two pair, well, they were both about an inch longer AND both a different color...more "taupe" and one pair was slightly darker than the other. Wow. It was really weird. Even though they all went into the same bedroom, I rehung the 2 matching pair on the same wall (either side of the bed) and then I hung the longer "taupe" odd-matching 2 pair along a 4-window wall that gets lots of light. Honestly, the way the light shines in, thankfully I can't see the obvious differences. But for those of you in bright light, watch out...check all the curtains before washing!

Bloquean muy bien la luz, perfectas para la recámara

Beautiful against white walls anywhere in the house ,on windows ,doors or dividing a room to two separate spaces to use.

Hace 4 años llegue a vivir a la ciudad de Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, México. Llegue sin dinero prácticamente y mi prioridad nunca fue comprar bonitas cortinas, primero decidí invertir en una moto italika, un mini refri, una estufita, cosas básicas para subsistir: comida y transporte. al principio dormía en un colchón inflable y no tenia compu, solo tenia un alcatel pero poco a poco me fui haciendo de mas y mas cositas. :D yeii! Las cortinas nunca fueron prioridad entonces hice lo mas fácil, ir a parisina y pedir unos metros de tela, tomar hilo y aguja y medio coserle para improvisar unas cortinas, clave un clavito en cada esquina de la ventana y amarre un mecate y de ahí colgué las telas para que fueran mis primeras cortinas improvisadas, JAJA (lo importante era que no pudieran ver los vecinos para adentro, mas que nada) la verdad es que eran bastante malas, bastante feas, y toda toda la luz pasaba por las cortinas calentando la casa y calentando principalmente mi habitación causandome mucho calor! Acá en el caribe Mexicano hace mucho mucho calor y no tengo para un aire acondicionado solamente para un ventilador, por las mañanas entraba la luz muy tempranito, aproximadamente a las 6am (por estar tan al este acá deberiamos de tener otro huso horario ya que amanece muy muy temprano y obscurece temprano también, por lo menos mas temprano que de lo que yo estaba acostumbrado cuando vivía en el norte del país). Posteriormente (4 años después de haber llegado a vivir aquí) empezó a mejorar poco a poco mi economía entonces cambie los clavitos y mecate por un palito de madera y unos sostenedores que yo mismo empotre con un taladro, taquetes, etc... entonces ya se veían un poco mejor mis cortinas, pero seguían siendo de una tela muy delgada y entraba toda la luz y el calor despertandome por las mañanas causando mucho calor y molestia y falta de descanso, entonces un grandioso día navegando por amazon basics buscando en que gastar mi dinero (ya que mi economía había mejorado) vi estas cortinas y pensé: "es lo que yo necesito!!". Medí la ventana de mi habitación y quedaban perfectas! como mandadas a hacer! no lo dude mas y las compre! PROS: - No entra nada de sol a través de las cortinas, solo un poco de luz por los lados pero era de esperarse. - Ya no me despierta el sol por las mañanas y puedo recuperarme mejor de las crudas después de ir toda la noche a cocobongo! - La habitación se mantiene mucho mas fresca! ya no tendré que invertir en un aire acondicionado! con puro abanico he dormido muy bien! CONTRAS: - Las compre negras y no combinan con el resto de la decoración de mi recamara ya que tengo todo tuti fruti aun así de entre las opciones era el color que mas me gustaba. Me hubiera gustado que tuvieran la opción de subir un JPG con la cara de Bob Marley para que se lo imprimieran a las cortinas (tener la opción de customizarlas). Conclusión: Las Recomiendo Ampliamente!

Lovely blackout curtains. Doesnt matter what colour you choose guys, the blackout material is on the inside. And it works very well. Go ahead and buy. Ive been using it for a year now, and i noticed a tiny hole in the curtain, very tiny which was noticeable as a tiny bean of sunlight came through. But overall, the quality is top-notch, and is perfect as a black-out curtain. They are thick and durable.

Quality is top-notch. Elegant fabric. Works as advertised. Keeps the room cool and dark.
