I ordered these in brown, and true to the picture, they are not dark brown, but a soft light brown - exactly what I wanted.  They are well made and heavy.  They have a lovely sheen and pool beautifully on the floor.  The description says it has both a rod pocket and can accommodate hooks, but with the way it is constructed, I could not figure out how one might use drapery hooks on this particular curtain panel.  I ended up using the rod pocket anyway and it looks great.
