Beautiful curtains! The design is more pronounced than I expected on the gray, but it works well! They are very thick and block out the light completely, and would do even better with the wraparound curtain rods and hanging a bit higher, but they work for me just on a normal extendable rod. I put them up right out of the package and the fold lines make them not drape quite right, so a run in the dryer will probably help. Definitely a great buy!
