Melissa 4 Although it's a little shorter than what I assumed were the dimensions of my window, it still works quite well. I was under the impression that 'blackout curtains' were thick velvet blankets that basically made the house a cave but during the strongest hours of sunlight it just casts a beautiful shade inside my home which I absolutely love. Plus it's cheap and the material is actually quite good. It also comes with two inner white curtains which I chose to put on my other window since I didn't need as much sunlight blocking.
