Other reviewers said the fabric on these curtains is kind of slick and shiny; it is. It's definitely not a designer upholstery or anything, but it doesn't feel or look cheap to me. Other reviewers said the white is not crisp and bright likely due to the blackout material on the back; I agree. I ordered them with those expectations and am not disappointed. They look great in my bedroom. The navy blue matches my Vera Wang Midnight bedding from Kohl's which is all I wanted.
