I really like the color (pale grey) and fabric of these curtain panels.  They're just what I needed to provide some privacy without being too heavy or dark in a room with a dark wall color.  When I ordered these, I wasn't sure that I would be crazy about the tie tops. In person I'm still not completely crazy about them. It felt like kind of a hassle to tie each tab (on 6 panels - I have 3 windows in my room!) and it's makes for a rather casual look at the top. The tie tops are growing on me though, I don't mind them enough to return the curtains.
