My old bedroom curtains were yellow with age and falling apart, but I loved them. These new curtains work okay. I couldn't find (anywhere) the length I need, so these hang a little too long, and they are not as wide as my old ones -- they look a bit skimpy at the windows; I can't imagine using the tie-backs -- and the fabric does not fall as softly. The corners stick out, and the hems wave. I'm hopeful that once I wash the sizing out they'll behave. I do like the hemstitching, however, and the construction is carefully rendered. These will do fine.
