Love the colours and I like that they are a bit sheer.  I don't need it to be super dark; it blocks enough that you aren't getting a glare from the sun and you can't see in.  I altered them quite a bit to make them look nicer than they are.  I do think these are way over priced for what you get.  It's simply rectangular fabric with hems on all sides and one end has extra stitching to allow for it to go into a rod.  I could have made these myself by simply buying fabric and sewing hems, but I did like the colour and pattern.  Would have been good if these came in much shorter lengths as I do have to cut off about 20 inches.
