I knew these had black grommets from reading other feedback so I was not surprised.  They, the grommets, actually help the panels to hang very nicely.  They are sheer but the write up says they are.  I bought four panels for two connected windows about 5 feet wide.  Worked perfectly.  They were wrinkled from being folded but a steam iron took care of it in nothing flat.  I like them and if I had another window where I needed sheers, I would order more.  Min were all the same length and they look very professional.  Thanks, Wayfair!
