I love these curtains.  They are a lot heavier than I expected because they were so inexpensive but they are well made and I am very happy with them.  I have them hanging in my office and the look great!  If you do buy them and you opt to use clips (which is what I did), I happened to buy the suggested ones and I was glad because they were a little more heavy duty than others I had and so they held up the panel very well.  I used 7 on each panel and worked out perfect with the set of 14.  There are also rod pockets inside the top seam if you want to use those and just slide the rod through the pockets.  Anyhow, if you are looking for a big block striped curtain, these are the best I've ever found.
