As previously mentioned, this curtain does need a liner, which is fine for our purposes. 
It seems to be good quality and has a thin grey stripe on the border between the two black stripes. I failed to notice that, but it will work well with the new color scheme. 
It has stitch reinforced hook holes, and I'll pick up a new package of hooks when we are ready to swap out. 
The only thing that irritated me is that the curtain was obviously returned by someone else. The descriptive linerwrap was missing, and the curtain was refolded inside out. I checked for stains and it looks fine. I'm just cranky about it- for this price I got something that was obviously returned, and possibly used by someone else.
