These are really pretty.  When they first arrived, I wasn't completely thrilled.  The fabric looked a little cheap and not quite white when folded in the package.  But once I hung them up and the light was filtering through them, I was converted to a total fan.  Hung them in my young daughters' bedroom and they really complete the look.  I still think they are not as bright a white as they appear in the photo, but once hung, they do look white (not cream, like they did when they were folded in the package).  For the price, I think they can't be beat.
