These curtains are perfect for what I needed! They were packaged very well. On a hanger! Also shipping was super fast! The background is white. Not off white. If anyone says these curtains are off white they are color blind lol they had almost no wrinkles right out of package! I hung them right out of package. I probable do need to take them down just to iron the seams flat but other than that they are great! I have mine hanging with the rod in the “ruffle” just because I didn’t want ruffles at top. They are somewhat room darkening if you close them. But not total. The blue is like a baby blue. So perfect. No complaints here! Love Wayfair merchandise!
