Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This drape in the cream color is the precise shade I wanted, otherwise I would have preferred a less ornate fabric.However, the woven jacquard design is not intrusive.
The manufacturer supplies care instructions on the packaging that are so small you need a magnifying glass to read them, but there IS a sewn in care label at the top.The label is annoyingly visible through the cream colored panel because in spite of the alleged 99% light blocking qualities, they are quite translucent.
If you're looking for a blackout curtain/drape this (cream colored one) is not it.Perhaps the dark colored panels offered by Eclipse are better suitedfor that purpose.
When unpacked, the panels are VERY creased and puckered/wrinkled.The creases DO NOT fall out miraculously even after hanging for weeks.
Regardless of the care instructions, I pressed them using a warm iron, and a fine mist spray of distilled water.The fabric tends to shift somewhat causing the edges to have some puckering.This can be avoided by pressing in one direction, and NOT pulling on the cloth when ironing.At the edges it's best to press flat down on the iron, hold for a couple of seconds, and proceed down the length of the panel.I learned that the hard way.
Washing the panels per manufacturers instructions before ironing,removes some of the sizing from the fabric and makes pressing them more effective.
The workmanship is a bit sloppy (this is not consistent, some panels were fine). One of the three panels purchased did not match up at the top due to being 1/4' longer than the others, and it looks messy, another had some gathering at the hem due to tight stitching.
I hope they block out cold, which is why I bought them.
I also bought 4 of the shorter panels.
All In all, I like them better than any others I've seen for color, they are not intrusive; don't leap out at you because of the jacquard pattern woven into the fabric.
If you're willing to go to some trouble to make them look acceptable, you could do worse than these.Just be patient and careful when dealing with pressing them.They do finally come out looking good.
A word of WARNING...USE A COOL-MEDIUM WARM IRON TO PRESS.A HOT IRON WILL DESTROY THE BACKING.
