The pair of Carrianna Polyester Linen Textured Light Filtering Semi-Sheer Grommet Curtains is pretty and the fabric is nice.  When the curtains are closed, they do, indeed, filter the light which is nice for really bright days. I only gave four stars because I have a problem with the quality of the stitching  The hem of one of the panels is uneven and there is not a proper hem.  There is only a single fold rather than an actual hem.
