I like these drapes, however they are made from a material that when up close, is a bit of a disappointment. it's woven and very soft and not what I had thought I was getting. From a distance, these drapes are very beautiful. So, if you are going for the "look" and not an up close inspection, then these are great. The room darkening effect does not work well enough however. Light shines right through. I put up additional room darkening shades.
