They arrived pretty quick.  These curtains are super gorgeous. They are light filtering, semi-sheer (not black out or dark room) set of 2 panels. I have a huge window in my bedroom on the most sunny side of the house. These curtains provide enough privacy for me and do a really good job at blocking out bright sunlight and its heat, while still allowing me to see the beautiful view. They filter a beautiful soft light in the hue of the curtain into the room. The stitches seem to be done just like any other curtain and the fabric resembles that of the true linen only more sheer of course, but the price cannot be beaten. Ive searched over thousands of options and these were the absolute best.
