These are great! Got these for our living room and eating area windows which are in the same big open room. The Linen color is a perfect neutral tone, not too white and not too brown, and the fabric is not too shiny and formal like some other options. These blackout curtains are the way to go! They block out the sun so we don't have glare on the TV and provide privacy from our neighbors when we are eating dinner. Used the ring clips to make them the perfect length, and I personally like that look better. Just what we wanted!
