"I looked everywhere to find curtains like these that were both affordable and high quality. These were, by far, the most affordable and I liked the fact that they were lined. I wasn't sure about how much light they would let in with them being white and the fact that my son's room has a very large window that lets a lot of light in anyway. However, after reading the positive reviews about them (I LOVE the 'reviews' feature of this website, by the way!) I decided to take a chance and order them - I bought the blue. They arrived a few weeks ago and I am very impressed. I think the weight of them is good and they keep a good bit of the light out. They create a really light, airy feeling that I was going for in the room and I am really pleased with them. Another plus: these are currently hanging in my baby son's room, however, I am confident that they will grow with him and the room as he ages and we change decor. Thanks, Land of Nod! I love your products!"
