Great value for the money. I looked around alot for grommet curtain panels that would fit the bill for my living and dining area and these did. The weight and color are better in person. The circles on the black have a pewter and bronze sheen almost metallic. I saw them in a store for way more $$ then found they were carried here, color me happy. I haven't washed them yet so I can't comment on that but fabric/color (black) and manufacturing are all good. I would definitely recommend these to friends.
