I LOVE these curtains. I ordered these about three weeks after moving into our new home and the colors are so rich and vibrant. I have gotten a lot of compliments on them and multiple people have asked where I got them. I was able to use them as a piece to inspire other items in the house (couch upholstery, pillows, table runners, etc.) that are near the curtains. We have large bay windows and I ordered 8 panels to cover about 10 feet of windows. They lay nicely when closed and don't look too flat. My one recommendation would be to only iron on the backside, not directly on the printed pattern. There was one spot where my iron seemed to catch on the design and there was a bit of transfer. Thankfully, it was in a small area and the design hides that imperfection when hung. The fabric feels nice and they block light well. We use them primarily for privacy, not for room darkening, but they work well for both.
