nothing fancy. in fact, the more non descript, the better. this is for a living room.

been to all the major marts and dept. stores. prices are outrageous (150,000 won +) and most of the stuff is either too thin or looks like it belongs in a love motel.

need something thick and/or dark (to keep out light).

measurements: 290-300 cm (width/across) and 190-200 cm (length/down) or thereabouts.

leave me a message here or pm if you have anything.

Those are indeed cheap curtains. Nice ones will run you 300,000 and up. Totally outrageous here.

We are in the same boat. 2001 Outlet has cheap curtain rods for about 20,000.

We were told that the cheapest way to get curtains is to buy the bulk fabric from Dondaemun Market and then get someone (or yourself) to sew the material.

I eventually tacked-up a large black blanket I bought in the Itaewon Underground mall for 25,000 won. I just wanted my room to be dark at night, and that did the trick.

My wife had a nice curtain made in Dongdaemun, but she paid about 350,000 for it. We'll be making another one (or two) next month for our new place.

I might also suggest you purchase some cheap luvre (sp?) shades for around 30,000 or less.

I 2nd G-Market. I got some pretty decent curtains (and they are gigantic) for around 30-40k. You most certainly do not have to pay 300,00k.
