Anyone got the John Lewis Velvet curtains?

What's the quality like? Link.

There’s 193 reviews. Does that not give you some insight?

Well they're polyester, so not really velvet are they? Velvet should be cotton.
You can get cotton velvet curtains but they'll cost more, sadly.

A bit snarky? Synthetic velvet is a thing too, you know.

I was just pointing it out in case @daisychain237 hadn't noticed. The info wasn't prominent so was quite hard to find.
I'd never buy polyester velvet. There's no comparison in feel.
She asked for opinions and that's mine.
Free to disregard it. Thought it might be a helpful contribution. Absolutely no snarky intention.

I bought these from M&S just to throw another thought at you. I am very pleased with them.
my bay windows are huge with a 30 ft rail and 99 inch drop. Lovely quality and a good range of colours.
