Keep out unwanted light.

Yes, I recommend this

Wish the ones I had bought had a shorter length for the width I needed. Will have turn up the hem, but otherwise I am glad I bought them, as at last, I won't get woken by the early morning light in summer or my neighbour's security lights all year round!!!

Very disappointed with these curtains.

No, I don't recommend this

I cannot recommend buying these curtains unless you can sew and are familiar with furnishing fabrics. I wish I had returned them but I had already gathered up the heading making return invalid. First of all the creasing as mentioned by other reviewers is very bad. You will need a good iron and a steamer to get them out. I had to do a lot of work on these curtains to make them look acceptable. The side hems are not straight resulting in the edges curling outwards. They have been pressed badly resulting in 'tramlines' down the outer edges. The heading tape is poor quality and is stretching where the hooks are inserted. The curtains are heavy and a deeper heading tape would be more appropriate. Part of the curtain top edge had not been stitched under the heading tape properly resulting in a frayed edge. The colour I bought was champagne but it was much darker than the photo on the website. One curtain is 2cms longer than the other. I had to reposition the header tape to shorten them and make the hems even. An absolute palaver! The curtains were bought to cover a cold window and do have adequate thermal properties.

The curtains arrived very quickly. I hung them that morning and by evening any folds or creases had dropped out. I am very pleased with the look and quality of them.

Nice curtains.

Yes, I recommend this

The curtains came out of the packaging creased. The instructions said not to use a steam iron. I found that the creases were very difficult to get out without steam, so I used it without damaging the curtains. Once they were hung without creases they were very nice and blocked out the light from outside.

Bedroom curtains

No, I don't recommend this

Good quality material but impossible to iron out creases in material. There is an inch difference in curtain lengths, so obviously do not meet when closed! Not the normal standard expected from M&S!

Good quality and colour

Yes, I recommend this

I think the curtains are very good quality, I chose the Champagne colour which is a neutral colour and is just right for my bedroom. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the curtains were very creased. Because of the length of the curtains it was difficult for me to iron the creases out. I have hung them in the hope that the creases will drop out over time.

Good value for well made curtains.

Good value. Well made curtains. My only criticism is that they were quite creased when I unpacked them and ironing on the coolest setting, as recommended on the care label, didn’t get them out.

Beautiful curtains.

Yes, I recommend this

I chose a chocolate brown black-out pair. They look lovely & do keep the light out. Perfect for keeping the heat in in winter & the sun out in summer. I found they were very badly creased and being polyester they didn’t drop at all. I used my steam iron whilst they were hanging, just using the steam & gently touching them with the warm iron. Perfect! With hindsight, I would have steamed them first! I would recommend these, but steam first.

Perfect colour and very good quality at a great price. I usually make my own curtains but was under a time pressure and bought these to “keep us going”. In fact we are very pleased with them and I am off the hook (!) having no need to make any now.

Lovely colour

Yes, I recommend this

I bought these in the pale blue for my newly decorated bedroom. They are a nice weight and decent quality material. It’s great that they are a blackout lining. The only criticism is that they are very creased and it took a couple of attempts to get most of the creases out. They were great value as they were on offer when I bought them.

Nice curtains but when pulling heading all three cords detached from end so had to hand sew them back in which was disappointing and fiddly.
