These curtains were purchased for an east facing bedroom window that was already covered with wooden blinds.  The blinds did a good job of keeping out the light except for between the two blinds and on either end.  I thought these curtains would do a good job of blurring the light coming in these spaces.  However I was not prepared for the beautiful difference it made in the appearance of the room.  Not only did it do exactly what I wanted as far as softening the light coming in between the closed blinds but added a beautiful softness (a word used in compliments repeatedly) and finishing to an already pretty space.  These curtains hang beautifully and are well made...I am so happy with this purchase and my experience with Wayfair.
