These curtains are thick and almost "crunchy" -- and I can't get them to hang straight. I stuck them in the dryer with a wet garment to try and remove the wrinkles and that helped some, but they don't look good on my windows. They spread out across the window and won't stay on either side. Maybe if they didn't have a grommet top, they would be easier to control. Definitely good at blocking light, but not attractive on the window.
