Many others had this issue as well! I couldn't get out a single crease after 45 minutes of steaming, ironing, repeating!! Beautiful and well-crafted curtains, but the color is a bit lighter and redder than I expected. They still match my dark-wood room very nicely and the only con is how many stubborn creases it has. I purchased 2 of these curtains and also the ivy leaf curtain rods in Nickel finish, I am thrilled at how nicely they match!!
