Is one panel enough for a standard window?

Usually not. At 34 inches wide, one panel covers a narrow window; a typical 48- to 60-inch window needs two panels for full coverage.

Does it really block light?

It is a blackout panel, so it blocks most light. Expect a little glow at the edges unless the rod extends past the window frame.

It has a rod pocket, so you slide the rod through the top. No rings or hooks are needed.

Yes. Wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and hang to dry; do not bleach.
