I would give my curtains a five-star rating in terms of value for money, because at €44 (around £37) for both panels, they really are a steal. As for quality and ease of use, I would honestly say five out of five for both, because the process couldn’t be simpler nor the result prettier to look at. The product description promised “fantastic” material and “modern design” and I wasn’t disappointed. They’re soft, smooth to the touch and an elegant dark navy blue.

I’d read online that the most important thing is to make sure not to leave too big a gap between the curtains and the window, so as to not let any sounds in through the sides. My one concern is I might have misjudged how much room they need to be able to easily slide and I now have a bit of difficulty getting them open and closed. But that’s on me, not on the product.

I was pretty sceptical going into the search process and wondered whether I’d get anywhere in my journey to a peaceful night’s sleep, but I’m so happy with my curtains. I can now easily sleep through the night and I already know I’m not getting rid of these gems anytime soon.
