I have 10 foot ceilings in my spare bedrooms. These sheers allowed me to cut the ties to get the height I needed with little effort . Saved a boat load by not having to go the custom route. They are very sheer and you may want to double up on them if you want a fuller look but they worked perfectly for me. Very Beachy and just enough to soften up the room. Solved a huge problem for me and if I decide to add a color band at the bottom or on the tabs it’s not a big sew job to give them a more custom look.
