Customer Reviews for Argentina Room Darkening Window Panels and Valance

Argentina Room Darkening Window Panels and Valance

These luxurious room darkening window treatments come in a vast array of rich colors and are the perfect way to beautify your home. Coordinating valances make the stylish elegance complete. Due to a 100% cotton flannel interlining the panels reduce the amount of light entering your room to give you a good night's sleep (darker-colored panels block more light than lighter-colored panels) and they also reduce unwanted outside noise. Soft to the touch, these energy-saving panels will also help you save money on your heating and air conditioning bills. Panels and valances are sold individually. Face is 52% polyester/48% nylon with a lining of 65% polyester/35% cotton. Panel measures 54" W. Tailored valance measures 54" W x 18" L. Shaped valance has a beaded trim and measures 72" W x 28" L. Tuck valance has a beaded trim and measures 50" W x 13 1/2" L. Dry clean only. Imported.

Look professional...one question....help

Got these drapes in extended lengths they look absolutely professional. So I bought more for other areas!
I love the quality, color and personally they darken enough for me! Order/shipping was excellent.
Ok, one question...sort of an issue right now. Some water seeped under the doors they are covering and the bottoms soaked up some/not tons of water. There are now water marks that will NOT go away. It remains darker where the water touched. I am sick about this. They are only 2 months old at the most. Seems stupid to have to dry clean them all when they aren't even dirty.
What do I do??? HELP

I purchased panels for my dining room.....the color is beautiful and the fabric looks great. My only problem was that the panels do not properly measure to the listed length. I needed 95" but when I hung them on my existing rod (last panels were 95") they were short by 2". I exchanged the panels thinking it was just an irregular pair, but the new ones were the same. For the price, I just had my husband lower the rod. I would definitely have given these a five star rating, but the length is a big issue.

We had been looking for navy panels for our living room, which were surprisingly difficult to find. I saw these Argentina panels in our local BB&B and couldn't believe how beautiful they were. After reading the other reviews, I asked the staff there to measure the panels for me before I bought them (both were exactly 84"), and they were glad to help. These block light significantly, and the subtle sheen they have adds to their beauty. I am so happy with these!

Nice Curtain, Doesn't Darken Room Well

PostedAugust 25, 2012

Would you recommend?No
Since these were advertised as room darkening, we bought a set for our bedroom. When we held them up to the light at the store, they looked like they would do a good job, but when we got home and hung them, it was clear they wouldn't cut it. They let in way too much light when compared to similar curtains. Having just purchased a set of Anastasia room darkening curtains for our family room, we returned this set and got another set of Anastasia curtains. We also didn't like that these curtains had to be dry cleaned, so they weren't very practical for us.

Purchased 4 of the Eggshell in 108" and they fit the space in my living and dining room perfectly. The product is of great quality and I'm going back to get two more panels for my bedroom in the same color. The lining also lives up to its name if you want any darker consider purchasing the sound asleep blackout liners but this will suffice in the space that I am using it for. Overall quality is exceptional!

Argentina Room Darkening Curtains

PostedJanuary 4, 2012
Nixie

Would you recommend?Yes
Last year i bought the 95" length of these curtains and they were way short but i think that may have been a bad batch because the 108" length is now too long. No worries though, i will just have them shortened because i am not bringing them back. These curtains are rich in color and really bring out the colors in my living room. I bought these in the crimson and they definitely "black" out the light. Not sure anything can completely block out the noise since i am on a well traveled street but i can live with that. The material is soft and shimmery and really warms the feel of the room.

Crimson Darkens Nicely

The drapes are beautiful and darken our bedroom nicely. You can still tell it is daylight because light leaks out through the top. But, my brilliant scientist husband estimates that about 90% of the light is blocked by the fabric. I cannot vouch for the lighter colors. I am about to hang the chocolate version of these drapes.

Great drape. I purchased it in peacock and it looks beautiful. And, it does darken the room. I have the 95 length and the tailored valance on the door to my deck. I would purchase it again in another color. It definitely keeps the air out of the room.

Good curtain, not room darkening

I ordered 4 - 108" panels. Nice look, feel, and good price. As for room darkening or sound deadening - as others have said, absolutely not.
These are just nice lined curtains. That makes them good enough to keep, but I'm going to have to install a blackout shade behind the curtain.

Pure and Simple - not room darkening drapes!!! Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty curtain (hence 2 stars and not 1). Like another person said, maybe 60% RD and for $100 - no way! Trust me, I am sitting here looking at this $50 panel on the left side and my Walmart brand $10 panel on the right. And there is absolutely no difference (except that BBB one is shinier!). So, they are getting returned. I work nights and sleep during the day - wish I could really find a curtain that met the true definition of black out.

Buyer Beware

We purchased thes panels based on the write up that they block 98% of light. This is not true. I'll give them 60% blockage. After spending $99 for two panels, I expected them to be what was advertised.
However, they do seem to help with cutting down the heat from the windows.

After purchasing and hanging up THREE different sets of drapes, we found these. We bought them in peacock to match our bedding and they are absolutely beautiful. They are very elegant and expensive looking. They also make the room pretty dark, which is perfect for the bedroom. I'm thinking about purchasing them in plum to put in our family room!

LOVE THESE BEAUTIFUL PANELS

I bought these panels a few months ago in crimson. They make my bedroom look absolutely beautiful and they live up to the statement-"room darkening". When the sun is too bright ...I close them for their energy effiency and at night...my bedroom is nice and DARK. I highly recommend these beautiful panels. However, make sure all panels that you buy are the same length-I had to buy many to end up with 4 that were the same in length(some were 1/2 " to 1"off in length).

these are pretty to look at but they do not block the sun, nor do they darken the room. buy the MIRA panels or go to Target and JC penney for much less expensive room darkening window panels

When I bought these I was so excited that I got two different for two rooms. Of course they were very wrinkled from the packaging so I brought them to be ironed at the dry cleaners. I was very upset when I realized they shrunk a few inches from the heat. Needless to say I took them back and bought a better quality drape.

Not room darkening, but pretty

I bought these for their "room darkening." They are thick and therefore block out only some light, but not enough to claim light blocking, which is what I assumed room darkening meant. If you want to block out light, these won't do it for you.
Still, they are pretty and hang nicely.

More like room brightening panels...

We got 4 of these in the "Peacock" color for the bedroom. These panels are NOT room darkening at all. They should be called "room brightening." These curtains were glowing from just the moonlight. In the morning, you would have not even known there were curtains up as the sun was burning through the panels. Did not sleep all night. These are going back today! Window darkening panels from WALMART worked 10xs better than this! If you are looking for room darkening, do not waste your time or money on these.

I purchased several of these in eggshell about 2 1/2 years ago. Upon moving to my new home a year ago, I bought more in longer lengths in eggshell and bronze. I have had so many complements on how nice they look and people are surprised when I tell them where I purchased them. The have held up very well and look fabulous years later. I definitely would recommend these.

Eggshell Panels

PostedApril 2, 2011
Evelyn

Would you recommend?No
I was beyond thrilled to purchase these yesterday after viewing them at the store. I bought them for our formal living room. I opened up one panel and hung it right out of the packaging before I opened the others to be sure the color would look good in the room. Unfortunately, as soon as it went up I noticed yellow spots all over the panel. Upon closer inspection the yellowing was wherever the panel was folded while in the packaging. It's probably not noticeable in the darker colors but the eggshell is very light and it just looks horrible, especially with any light filtering through. I checked all 4 panels and they were all the same :( Too bad because it was a good price for lined panels.

These are the best drapes. They look so nice and hang perfectly. That other night kids behind us yelling, closed
the drapes and it really cut down on the noise. I am purchasing these for both of my daughters homes. They were slightly wrinkled and put them in dryer on delicate for a few minutes and took all the wrinkles out and hung them. No ironing needed
