It's beautiful. The fabric has great texture and it looks high end with the lining. 

So why only three stars? Well...

Let me start by saying I have  fabulous 2.5 inch wide pocket curtain rods. I have used them for years with no problems whatsoever. The description of this valance says it is 3 inches. Perfect, right? 

WRONG. It literally took my husband and me one and a half hours to pull three valances over two curtain rods. I am not making this up.  I truly do not know how we accomplished it. It wasn't merely a tight fit, it was a fight to the finish. We kept running into snags and extra pieces of material that shouldn't be inside the pocket. We could feel them from the outside but they were impossible to remove. 

When these valances need to be washed, and presuming we can pull them off of the rods, I will need to sew a new top seam and pull out the one that is there. 

2.5" is the standard size for wide pocket rods. These valances with 3" pockets should have glided on in seconds.
