Out of Macochico’s entire curtain catalog, one panel has more reviews than almost anything else the brand sells: the 100% Blackout Chenille Curtain, with a 5.0 out of 5 average across nearly 5,000 ratings. A perfect score at that volume is rare enough that I wanted to check whether it holds up under the spec sheet and the fine print.
What it’s made of
The panel is a 350gsm chenille fabric, noticeably heavier than the thin, flat-weave polyester most budget blackout curtains use. According to Macochico’s own listing, the fabric can look plush and slightly silver-reflective when laid flat, but reads as a brighter, more saturated color once it’s actually hanging vertically on a rod.
Macochico markets it as 100% blackout, with the added benefits of thermal insulation and noise reduction that come naturally from a denser, heavier weave. The brand recommends it specifically for bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and hotel-style spaces where a plush, formal look matters as much as the light-blocking.
What buyers are actually saying
A perfect 5.0 across roughly 4,969 ratings is a genuinely strong number, and it’s high enough volume that it’s not just a handful of early reviews inflating the average. It’s the single most-rated listing I found across Macochico’s entire storefront.
For comparison, Macochico’s other blackout lines land lower: the Thermal Insulated Grommet panel sits at 4.6 stars (1,957 ratings), and the Flame Retardant panel sits at just 3.5 stars despite having the most total reviews in the catalog at 3,206. The chenille line clearly outperforms the rest of the brand’s own lineup, not just the market average.
Sizing, colors, and price
Sizes range from 52″W x 72″L up to 120″W x 96″L, sold as a single panel rather than a pair. Pricing scales with size, running from about $14.99 for the smallest panel up to roughly $49.00 for the largest. Colors include Palm, Charcoal Blue, and Charcoal Grey among others.
Because it’s sold per panel, you can order the exact count your window needs instead of paying for a second panel you don’t want. Macochico’s listing also notes that curtain width should run 1.5 to 2 times the length of your rod for a properly full look, not the width of the window itself.
Care instructions
The listing specifies machine wash cold with similar colors, gentle cycle, no bleach, no ironing, and tumble dry low. It also recommends avoiding frequent washing to protect the chenille texture over time. That’s a real advantage over hand-wash-only fabrics: this one goes straight in the machine.
How it compares
Against category leader NICETOWN, whose 100% Blackout Grommet panel carries 78,903 ratings at 4.8 stars, Macochico’s chenille panel actually posts a higher average rating, just with far less total review volume. NICETOWN sells as a 2-panel pair for $20.99 and recommends hand-wash only, while this Macochico panel is machine washable and sold individually. That per-panel model also makes it easier to buy from an authorized listing without overpaying for a pair you don’t need.
Should you buy it
If you want a heavier, more textured blackout curtain than the standard flat-weave polyester most brands sell, and you’d rather machine wash than hand wash, this is the strongest single pick in Macochico’s catalog. Order based on your rod length rather than your window width, and check the current coupon banner on the listing before you buy since Macochico frequently runs 8 to 10 percent on-page discounts.
Returns on this listing follow Amazon’s standard third-party return window. For sizing help across the rest of the catalog, check how to choose the right Macochico curtain.
