I needed something to dress up the window in our home office and this valance did the trick! I got the brown version, not the black that is pictured. Anyway, the size of this valance is perfect for our window and the linen-like fabric falls nicely from the curtain rod without much wrinkling. The valance completely covers the curtain hardware while still allowing plenty of light to come through the window. The border on the bottom is pretty and dresses up the valance without being too ornate. It is a very nice quality for the price and a nice way to add to your window decor without spending a fortune!
