I absolutely love these curtains. For the price, you get good quality linen curtains which is very hard to find. the antique white is beautiful and just the right amount of off-white without looking dingy/dirty. They hang extremely well and give a light, flawy, simple, and elegant look to my dining/keeping room. We did have to purchase ring to hang them, but I knew that when I made the purchase. They are definitely light filtering and allow a good amount of light in, so if your goal is to block out light, these will not work for you. I wanted to keep this room light and airy, and they do just that!
