I love the clean look. That's what I was looking for when I bought these. I didn't want a bunch of drapery on these particular windows. I just didn't want that feeling of, when at night you're inside and everyone can see in and you can't see out. I read the reviews and did understand they would be "sheer" but I didn't quite understand just how sheer. Let me just say, they are really attractive but if you are looking for any level of privacy, this isn't it. You can check my pic. There is no level of privacy with these. But.. they are attractive, are easy to install and have kind of a pleasant woody smell.  I'm leaving a picture taken from the inside and from the outside so you can judge for yourself. To me, they just aren't useful.
