Curtains better than expected. Nicely packaged on hangers, not just wadded in a bag. Description stated color was white, but they are actually a very nice off-white, so the color is not harsh at all. The fabric is light without being too flimsy, but they are most definitely "light-filtering". We use them primarily to soften the look of our windows, not to provide any privacy or light control, to they are exactly what we needed. We will probably order several more pairs when they are back in stock.
