There was a hole in the thermal backing.

Color As expected (toasted tan), very nice material,good weight def blackout. I used rings with clips very simple to hang. I attached 3" black boarder on each edge, beautiful! Simple, elegant, classic design.

Quality product at an incredible price. Very pleased

I ordered 14 different curtains and these were by far my favorite. Unfortunately they weren't really the color I was going for. I still haven't found a true white blackout curtain that doesn't read grey or blue in artificial light. The single panel photo is the starlight off white. The photo with a panel on each side shows the starlight off white on the left and a very cool almost grey/blue toned blackout curtain on the right. Both photos were taken in only daylight. All the whites I purchased ended up looking grey and the least offensive is in the photo. Of all the ones that were labeled ivory beige, beige white, natural, ivory, cream... these Buldolf curtains were the lightest in color and had the least amount of undertone. I hope this helps someone so they don't need to buy 14 curtains! I didn't do anything to the curtains in the photo. I just put them on the rod to take the photo. I didn't fluff them or iron them or anything.

Got these for the bedrooms in our rental. Our tenants LOVE them! I installed them with a French return rod and together they let in no light. Happy tenants and happy me!
