One pack looked like it had been opened. That valence was missing the extra stitch at the top. I put that one in the laundry room away from the kitchen valances. I didn’t return it, because paying to return it makes no sense based on the price of the Item. The two valances that did have the stitch look very nice (see photos). I’ve ordered another one for my kitchen window to replace the one that I had to put in the laundry room.
