The curtains are exactly as they appear online, the color is beautiful.  Ironing was not at all difficult, even around the flowers.  I did snip quite a few strings from the flowers and it appears they would easily unravel.  Due to that, I'm concerned that they won't survive a professional cleaning.  One of the panels had a small smudge, but I placed it on the end and it's not obvious.  Definitely not light blocking, but that wasn't one of my criteria.  For the cost, I am quite pleased.
