The coloring and privacy are perfect.  However, the manufacturer listed these under shades that open from the top and bottom.  It didn't look like that in the picture, so I contacted Wayfair and they got right back to me within a day or two.  However, they confirmed that they opened at both the top and bottom. I bought them and they only open from the bottom upwards.  My general contractor was already at my home to hang the shades, and I didn't want to send them back and wait, so I kept and had them hung.  Look nice, but it was a lot of money, and not what I wanted.
