I purchased these Moroccan Trellis curtains to add a bold effect to my family room.  The fabric is not what I expected - (i expected some sheen in the material) - it is a woven material with no obvious sheen.  However, after I called to get a return authorization label to return them, I decided to hold on to them until I painted one of the walls in my family room.  After a new coat of bold paid on my tall wall (LOL), new curtain rods and the moroccan curtains - it turned out BIG LEAGUE!  If you like bold check out the pics.
