I bought these for my daughters room.  She has a large window that gets full morning sun in her bedroom.  I purchased the white.  The curtain part is lovely; simple with an elegant ruffle down each side.  I love the way it looks and hangs.  The lower rating is due to the material of the liner.  It's a heavy fabric that looks like hotel shower curtain fabric.  Also it is cut to where it shows behind the ruffles.  When the curtains are pulled back on drapery hooks, they look really nice.  When hanging straight, you can see the liner sticking out on the sides because the ruffle sags slightly. I don't like the curtain for this reason.  However, I didn't return because it does do a nice job of blocking heat and light since the liner is so thick. Keep in mind, the white will still allow light through.  If you need complete room darkening, go with a dark color drape & liner.
