This item turned out to be perfect for my purpose. I wanted something to frame my window, not to provide privacy or block light. I was lucky and the length is truly perfect. The curtains really smelled coming out of the package so I washed them on a delicate cycle immediately, dried and pressed them (low setting - they are only 7% linen or something like that). The linen color worked really well for my room. I wish the grommets were gold vs. silver, but good luck finding that. I'm happy with them
