These curtains far exceeded my expectations. The material is soft, they blow nicely in the breeze, they're not so sheer that people can see what you have in your house yet let in a decent amount of light (ours are the Aegean sea color). I ordered seven pairs of these curtains, and they're all the same length (other budget curtains I've owned have been off by inches). They wash well and there isn't a string out of place. These curtains do the job and are worth every penny.
