These drapes are very well made, and give the room a light airy feel.  Great for spring and summer.  They are machine washable, and dry in no time.  They are so pretty, I don't want to put them in the dryer.  
The grommets make enable you to close or open them in a quick movement.  Closed gives a really classy look for the evening.  This is truly good buy!  I just love the look.
