Curtains are darker than the photos, more of a light brown than a cream or oatmeal color. Also, they were extremely hard to iron: I washed them on cold, tumble dried on low heat for a few minutes, and it still took me an hour to iron both panels.
However, they do darken the room a lot when closed. I put them in the nursery and they’ll be very useful during the day when the baby sleeps. All in all, not exactly what I expected but worth keeping.
