Our take
Perfect blend of style, comfort, and practicality.
Okay, so I got my hands on these Eclipse Blackout Curtains, and the first thing I noticed was they really do block out the light. I mean, if you've ever tried to sleep when the sun's up, you know how annoying it can be. These curtains are a game-changer for that. They don't just dim the room; they make it pitch-black. I found myself waking up thinking it was still night, which is both cool and disorienting. Although they're great for sleeping in, you might miss out on natural morning light, which could be a downside if you rely on that to wake up.
Now, about the fabric. It's pretty heavy-duty, which is a good thing for blocking light, but it also means they can feel a bit oppressive in a small room. If you're someone who likes a light and airy vibe, these might not be your jam. However, they do have a solid feel to them, and the quality seems top-notch. There’s no flimsy, cheap feel here, which is refreshing. But you've got to be ready for that thick, substantial presence in your space.
Installation wasn't too bad, thankfully. They come with the standard rod pocket or back tab, so you've got options depending on how you want them to hang. I did have a bit of a struggle getting them even, but that might just be me. If you're not the most patient person, be prepared to spend a little time getting them just right. They do hang nicely once you get them up, though, and that’s a relief. But yeah, it might take a bit of fiddling to get them perfect.
In terms of style, they're pretty straightforward. Don't expect any flashy patterns or vibrant colors; they're more about functionality than fashion. If you're going for a minimalist look or want something that just blends in, these will do the trick. But if you're hoping to make a fashion statement, you might find them a bit too bland. They're like the reliable but not-so-flashy friend you can always count on.
Overall, these curtains do what they're supposed to do and do it well. If you're looking for solid blackout performance, these are a win. Just be ready for the tradeoffs: a heavier feel and a more subdued look. They're not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if you need darkness and quality, they’re worth considering. Just make sure they fit your space and style before committing.
