I purchased these for my extremely tall patio sliding doors from my family room out to the patio and was hesitant they would not work. After we received them we quickly got to putting them up and found that they served the purpose. These curtains gave the room a whole new feeling and I couldn't be happier. They are heavier but they are worth the price. I ended up needing a total of 4 so I was extremely worry that they wouldn't work but they did and they are perfect. I purchased the beige color which was exactly what I had expected. They block out light so they work well for that purpose too.
