Shades were exactly how described and the color was perfect! I ordered 3 to cover a triple set of windows and they look beautiful, completely down for privacy and light blocking, or tied up in bows for a chic decor look. The price was very good and with no shipping charges, even better! I would recommend these to anyone looking for something a little different for a window covering, or if you just want to change things up a bit for a chic re-do.
