StangH Red Velvet Curtains Extra Wide - Room Darkening Privacy Theater Curtains Christmas Decor Backdrops for Movie Room/Display Window/Church, Red, W100 x L84 inches, 1 Panel

This is my latest addition, and I've purchased two other different sized sets of these same curtains previously—one in that lovely red, and one in the teal colour. The navy blue had been out of stock for quite a while so I JUMPED on it when it because available in the 100" again so I could finally replace my bedroom's old Ikea curtains.Velvet curtains are THE way to go, in my opinion. The fabric is nice and heavy and hangs perfectly. The issue I was running into with the Ikea curtains and another brand I got on Amazon was that when you open the curtains, they don't really bunch up and hang well together. The top does, but the bottom always wanted to fan out a bit so it looked stupid and no amount of ironing or bunching really did a thing to fix it. I didn't like how that looked.The velvet curtains are the solution for this problem. Not only do they hang PERFECTLY, but they look really, really nice, they don't seem to wrinkle at all, and they are insanely easy to clean. I have a cat and a dog and both shed like crazy but animal hair does not cling to velvet and if you get anything on them you can wipe most things off without having to actually wash them.I did NOT need to iron these or steam them when I unpackaged them. They don't retain wrinkles so if there's any minor kink it will work itself out overnight when they hang up for the first time.The curtains are very well made with a thick velvet, and the back tabs are extremely sturdy. Unlike Ikea which uses a bunch of single-thread string (like 20 individual threads to make one tab, idk why tf they don't just use a single piece of material), these velvet ones have a solid, thick back tab design so these do NOT catch on any of the joins in a super long curtain rod and the material slides really nicely along the curtain. My sister used the pocket instead of back tabs and they look very nice like that as well, so it really just boils down to preference.The curtains work amazingly well for blocking out almost all sunlight. My previous Ikea blackout curtains DID do a slightly better job as they could probably black out the light of a nuclear bomb going off, but the velvet ones are still very, very effective. The MOST I get in my room, which gets blasted with direct sunlight all day, is a very very subtle glow. I'm extremely picky about light in my room when I'm trying to sleep so initially I was worried it might be an issue, but it's honestly so subtle it didn't actually have any real impact.I cannot stress how much I like these curtains. The colours I've gotten have all been fantastic, the construction is well done, they clean easily, they don't wrinkle. Hands down the best curtains I've had to date.

They are so pretty, and soft to the touch. They slide very easily as well!

I was impressed with the easiness of installation. I would buy again

Perfect for what I needed, vibrant color. Excellent fabric.

Really nice luxurious looking curtains. They are soft and velvety. The royal blue is beautiful and rich in color. Curtains have good amount of weight to them and definitely black out when closed.
