These are minimal on privacy and medium on light blocking and also light filtering. These are exactly the qualities we wanted. We had 2 other shades from another home that had this specific weave pattern. I ordered these thinking at least the patterns would match (the other ones had been custom orders a long time ago) and these were an exact match. They are within an inch of the measurements top to bottom and true to size left to right. 

Pros: good value, easy to hang
Cons: wish they blocked a little more light out
