This curtain is well made.  It has a great weight to it.  I like the texture look of the fabric.  The backing is a light grey instead of black.  I like this.  It looks good from the outside.  The only thing that didn't work for me was the taupe color.  I would have called it golden beige.  It has a golden color that doesn't work with my particular builder tan.  It brings out a peach undertone in my walls.  I am going to repaint my bedroom a blue.  This color will go great with that.  I am looking to purchase the ivory color for my living room.
