okay, so these are not room darkening as indicated, but they are beautiful.  I'm keeping them just for the "sheer" look and quality.  I have them in the blue (and again, beautiful), in a bedroom and in the living room........great purchase once again.  Shipper mixed up on my order, but Wayfair, being Wayfair is having it rectified and sending me the correct length that I had initially ordered.  Thank you Wayfair!
