Basic curtain, but does the job and is worth the price. Description says "sheer," but it is a little heavier than a typical see through sheer. Blocks a little light. The tie backs require something to attach to, probably would need a small nail or something to be able to hook them to (tie back is just a long piece of fabric with a hole-button sized-at each end). We just installed normal hold backs on the wall and they still look nice.
