Ordered on Monday, received on Wednesday.The drapes are are not "too sheer "but they are lovely...mildly opaque.I like the weights at the bottom. I bought new hardware to hang  them. The store I went to had a cheap sheers  for $3.00 less and the quality did not compare. I haven't hung them yet.We bought a rod to compliment the stripe which appears to be taupe. If after we hang the drapes they look good on the wall, we will definitely keep them. When I called customer service the young lady was most helpful as I tried to decide between several choices. I would not hesitate to use this company again.I feel I was able to buy better quality than at my local  box store!
