I bought these valances for a window in my entryway which is about 14 feet up, so they really just have to "blend in" as far as I'm concerned.  They'll do the trick, but they are not very high quality in my opinion.  The color is true to the picture but they are very thin and only one-sided... just keep that in mind when purchasing.  They are fine for the price, I wouldn't say "great" for the price.

Pros: Color and pattern are nice
Cons: Thin material
