I had a feeling these valances wouldn't quite flow with the rest of my dining room decor, and I was right. I will be returning them, but give them 5 stars because they're exactly what I expected. I just needed to see them in the room to make up my mind. The dealbreaker for me was the sheen of the fabric, but again, I could tell from the pictures that the fabric had a shine to it. My dining room and home decor is just a little too rustic for fabric with a sheen.
