These curtains are very well-made, the fabric is quite heavy and there are weights at the bottom to help them hang just right. I got the gray stripes and love them. The white stripes  let in a little light when they are closed but it is more light-blocking than semi-sheer. They have back tabs or a strip for hanging with drapery rings. Because the material is so heavy and I got a long length I hung them with drapery hooks so they are easier to slide across the drapery rod. Using the tabs I think it would be more difficult to slide them.
