I love these curtains!! I got the Hazelwood beige, which is a very light beige or light tan, very natural, very pretty. They are not sheer, you cannot see through them. They are not lined, so they do let light through. Very nice medium weight material. They are weighted at the bottom, which makes them hang well. They are very well made and not cheap looking at all. I have two side by side 50" wide windows and I got 4 panels to add to the extra gathering effect. Glad I purchased.
