I have these valances in my living room, but had a different type of curtain in my dining area. My living, dining, kitchen are all open so I bought these to pull the look together.They are made exactly as well as the others I purchased 2 years ago. I LOVE them! They are made out of a thick, strong material,  they are lined and look perfect. Now I'm waiting for the tablecloth to match. Wayfair is truly my personal home decorator!
