I really like the quality of this valance, the material is nice and thick, not the flimsy kind that you sometimes get, and has almost a linen look to it.  I ordered the brown and white.  The brown is a nice deep color, but I was diappointed with the white.  Not a pure white as I expected, and had a sort of dingy look to it.  As long as you're not looking for a pure white curtain, these are a safe bet.
