I added these sheers (not semi-sheer) to a pair of black out curtains that came in a rented condo. In front of the balcony door. Very nice. Extremely light weight. I love gazing out and admiring my yard. These do not obstruct my view at all. Which I like. I won't have to slide them open and closed because they are sheer.  I gave them 4 stars because I thought they were semi-sheer and they are not. If you have rough and tumble kids/pets, beware. They will snag/tear easily. For the price, I will keep.
