Exactly what I needed for my 10' tall curtains over my sliders, they're quite heavy and unruly at times.  I don't want to have them pulled back all the time, only when people are coming and going through the doors frequently, so a temporary tie-back is perfect.  The rope coordinates with my coastal decor perfectly and the white color is an exact match to the white in my curtains as well.  They are easy to put on and take off and I can easily store them away when not in use.
