These are a nice weight. They are lined and darken the room well enough for me. The colour is a little more natural flax than I was picturing pearl, but, I was willing to deal with it. The window is about 95 inches wide and I thought, since only closed at night, 104 inches would be ok. INCORRECT. They looked like pathetic little sheets I threw up on a pole, with no hope of covering the window. I had another set, so I stuck two together and the problem was resolved. They look fine with the extra panels. The way these drapes fall, you need a lot of extra fabric to cover the space. They also need a good steaming out of the package, but they are linen, so that was not a surprise.
