I purchased two sets of these VERY ELEGANT curtains for my living room but my rods were two wide so I was disappointed.  BUT THEN, I quickly realized that they would look EVEN BETTER in my white and gold bedroom.  Yes they are VERY shear, but I have mini blinds.  I love that I get a lot of light in my room now and do not have to open my my curtains.  LOVE, LOVE this for my bedroom.
