The curtains could have been lovely, but the way it as packed, with plastic tags through the curtains, severely damaged the fabric. The holes might also just simply be due to bad quality in the fabric. All the panels have these bad patches, some worse than others. Unfortunately the packaging was thrown out before I saw the curtains, otherwise I would have returned it. Huge disappointment and infuriating. If you do buy these, check them carefully, as soon as possible, and before discarding the packaging.
