I gave a four-star instead of a five-star only because the taupe has a gold undertone to it that I did not see in the picture. I will likely return them for the ivory. There are no other problems. The tone difference is not really a problem with the drapes, but a problem that always exists with online shopping, at any store. The drapes are heavy, weight-wise, which I like, and do as advertized by bringing down the light in the room very well. In addition they dampen the sound more than I ever expected. Win-Win.
