I HAD DARK BROWN CURTAINS BEFORE. THESE REALLY BRIGHTEN THINGS UP. THEY MATCH THE FURNITURE PERFECTLY AND HANG WELL RIGHT AWAY. I JUST WISH WE HAD HUNG THE RODS A LITTLE LOWER OR IF ONLY THERE WAS SUCH A SIZE AS 90 INCH....THEY LOOK GREAT IN OUR LIVING ROOM ANYWAY!  ALSO A GOOD PRICE FOR A SET OF 2 PANELS.
