The curtains are really gorgeous, the nicest ones I've ever had. They are well-made
and a beautiful deep blue, fitting the window well and, when closed they are very good at keeping out the light (as I wanted). They are quite thick and a bit heavier than most curtains I've seen, but I haven't had any problems - they feel very luxurious. The thickness means they do still cover some of the side of the window when open, but this could be improved with something to hold the curtains back - I'd recommend that.
