I like the color/material.  I purchased the gardenia color and it's a nice off white, the material is in my opinion is a  gauze/linen mix without the cost of linen.  I wouldn't call them sheer because when I hear sheer I think shiny and I don't like the look of shiny curtains so that was good for me.  It's hard to find curtains in a long length so that's a plus.  For the price it's a decent curtain.
