I love these curtains. They look just like the picture, they also have a texture that will make them easier to wipe clean or spot treat, almost a canvas texture. The only reason I am giving them 4 stars is that I would not classify them as thermal room darkening curtains. They do not have the backing and are more see through than is necessary for true room darkening curtains. Overall, I am pleased with them though. Glad I purchased them.
