I bought these for my daughters new home. They are a beautiful design and the color is true to the advertising pictures. They are made of quality material. They are heavy enough to drape very nicely to the floor even if they are a tad longer than needed. She likes the little longer look so it was nice that they drape so beautifully. They are not light blocking in anyway but they do filter light beautifully. They come packaged nicely and were ready to hang. Slight creases from packaging fall out after ha ging for a day or so. No need to steam them. Gorgeous and highly recommended.
