These curtains are SO pretty! The image/print pops nicely but isn't "loud" and it helps create a perfect ambiance for falling asleep (especially if you are a space nerd like me. I can stare at Hubble images and just get lost in thought). They are definitely not blackout curtains, but thick enough for privacy. They washed well, no bleeding or anything. I plan to steam the wrinkles out this weekend. The fabric is more satin-y than that silky poly that heavier curtains have. I would definitely buy these again!
