They were a snap to install and look lovely. The only problem was they were understandably very wrinkled upon arrival. I bought so many of them and they were so long, I took them to my local cleaner to press. ($5. ea.)Washing and hang drying did not get the wrinkles out and I was not willing to do the hours of pressing myself. I love the way they look on my porch. The only other thing to consider is them blowing in the wind. I live on a high hill so we have lots of wind. In very high winds I have to anchor them down with cord to hooks, otherwise small hair clips pinning them down to my porch ledge works fine for most winds.I bought a very long gold tone outdoor tension rod so no install was needed.
