Good light blocking but hard to washMinaThe thin blackout curtains at ikea are 100% light blocking. BUT the black lining is not porous and when you wash in a machine, the water doesn’t wet the colored side and yet the lining holds water so that the spin doesn’t drain it and you get water all over the floor when you take it out. I wish IKEA had a questions section so someone could tell me any tricks they’ve come up with to wash these. They also attract the sun and get very hot. I have now put them in front of light filtering curtains on a 2nd rod so that they don’t absorb so much heat. In the winter they would offer zero insulation. These do actually look nice.3
Great product for priceMorganWork exceptionally well at keeping the room dark. The fabric doesn’t look stiff like a lot of blackout curtains do, it falls like linen curtains 5
black outMiamiI have used several blackout curtains, all different types, shapes sizes, lengths, and widths. This is the best product that I’ve had in a while. Not only does it. Keep the sun out. It keeps the moon out. I would recommend this to anyone. Thank you IKEA.5
AZ move ElizabethWe recently moved to AZ and needed to cover some of our windows in the house so we could sleep past sunrise and abate the heat to keep the energy cost down. These hit the mark. They are lightweight and durable. The colors are great.5
NICE CURTAINS FrankOVERALL I LIKE THESE CURTAINS A LOT. THE MATERIAL IS A LITTLE THIN, BUT AFTER I HUNG THEM, THEY REALLY LOOKED NICE. I AM NOT SURE HOW THEY WILL LOOK AFTER THE FIRST WASH, BUT I WAIT WITH THAT FOR AS LONG AS I CAN. I USED THEM IN MY LIVING ROOM AND I AM HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL LOOK.4
Good valueShawnaThese are truly black out curtains. The measurement is exact. One small pin hole was noted in the fabric, but overall, these curtains are excellent and do what they say what they will do!4
Excellent product, good priceDeniseGood quality for the price5
These black out curtains are perfect!ReneeThis pair of long curtains are perfect for my bedroom. They are long enough and wide enough to cover a double exterior door (glass window door). The curtains are lightweight and the backing is some kind of black plastic coating applied to the fabric - lightweight coated fabric but not flimsy. These look like normal fabric curtains, not stiff. The lightweight fabric doesn't stress the curtain rod. The coated blackout fabric hangs easily and has enough weight to hang beautifully, and the curtains look great. I hung them on the back rod of a double curtain rod made of black steel (with heavier cotton curtains hanging in front). And, best of all, these curtains really block light and have made it possible to sleep longer because the room is darker in the morning.
I hung the curtains directly on a 1/2-inch metal rod using the heading tape that has tabs, or wide groups of fine threads that are spaced along the heading tape. Everything worked out perfectly and I love these curtains. 5
Beauty and the BeastJonThe curtains have a black plastic side. Nobody at Ikea thought about what the curtains look like from the exterior... or heat gain... the interior fabric side looks good enough, but the exterior
is very low quality and aesthetically useless. if you buy you'll need to do a second layer between the window and the blackout, or settle with hideous appearance. 2
FlimsyAnonymous reviewerI was really hoping that these curtains could replace my old heavy blackout curtains to give the room some color. First they are very short, much shorter then other curtains I've bought in the past. The second while being good black out they are very thin. They are not heavy as some of the old style IKEA ones I have. To some this could be a Plus, but to me because they are so thin they don't cover up gaps in my large windows.3
Really nice dark out curtainsJanetLove the color and the fit. Blacks out nicely.5
Simple saleRichardEven with error in my length estimate, able to get it corrected without issues5
Material is kind of thin.LevonetteI like the color, but the material is kind of thin. Would have like it a little thicker. 4
Great curtainsAnastasiiaThe curtains really don't let the light through. They are light and thin, be careful.5
BEST curtains!KathleenThese curtains are perfect! Color and texture are great, length is perfect and so easy to hang! They're even better than expected!!5
Very bad for people who care about details; cust service also very bad!Anonymous reviewerThese curtains are low quality, and the long edges curl around to the front, making an undesired ruffled effect, and showing the black plastic back in front. They have odd dimples and dents on them. They are also too short--I paired two sets of 98 inch Rosenmandels with two sets of 98 inch white curtains on a Betydlig rod, and the white curtains are visibly longer by several inches. I finally measured them--they are only 92 inches long! When I called customer service with many questions (including questions about the ruffling effect, questions about ironing them, length etc.) no one called or even emailed me. They just sent me ONE new set of Rosenmandels, with no further communication--they did not even tell me they were sending more curtains! However, since I have two windows, I needed two sets. I finally hung the new curtains and found that they are no better than the old ones. A terrible experience, and a lot of work for me! The worst part is the IKEA clearly does not care.1
