A Two Pages Lila 100% Blackout Drape Pleated single panel sits at from $89/panel, configured to your drop, lead time ten to twelve days. Both pages say “blackout”.

On paper, a $12 Mainstays Blackout panel and an $89 Two Pages Lila panel both carry the word blackout on the listing. The fabric weight tells a different story.
