Absolutely love these curtains. Soft fabric. Just the right off-white (not yellow) I removed the rings and hung using pocket w valance. The ring tabs show but was able to tuck behind not to show. It does state a use with no valence but there is no way of detaching, so unless you just flip it around or cut it off there is no other way to remove valance. But that’s what I like about the curtain. 
I used them
I’m living room, kitchen and now I’ve decided to change the curtains in my dining room. I have an open plan so you can see all rooms at any given time.
