Love the fabric and the embroidery on these panels. They have just enough visual interest to break up the straight lines of curtains without being overpowering. We placed a table with plants in front of our window and these curtains compliment and echo the organic lines of the plants. I threw the panels in with a wet towel and then ironed them to get the creases out from how they are packaged. That took a bit of time as they are lined (which is great). I just wanted to put them up right away though, so delayed gratification by a couple of hours. :)
