I haven’t put them up but let me tell you if you are hesitate like I was; don’t be. These curtains are beautiful and does block a little light. I’m not using mine as a curtain more as a calming room divider. If I can add an updated review I will. The colors are bold, the picture is vivid and makes you instantly feel relaxed as you would in the woods near a waterfall. I’m soooooo happy with this purchase.
