Very pretty curtains, exactly as described. They filter light but aren't room darkening, yet still provide privacy and add a nice accent to any room. The tiebacks, unfortunately, are simple strips of cloth to match the curtain, but they don't have anything to actually clip them back. Right now I simply tie them together, but one could also get some velcro and attach it to each end if they want the tiebacks to look like they do in the ad. Other than that, I'm very pleased with this purchase!
