These drapes are absolutely gorgeous. The color was a nice slate blue, but not too dark. They are fairly heavy, with no liner material, but I believe that won't really matter on my windows. I wanted something heavier for winter, than my thin cotton ones that I use for summer. I love the branch design as well. They have a nice sheen, but not too shiny. Very impressive for the price. I would have given them 5 stars if there had been a liner layer.
