Looked and looked for just the right sheers. I go between 4 and 5 stars, these are very good. The quality is excellent, especially for the price.  They are not as sheer as the ones I replaced, which is good and bad. People can't see in but I also can't see out as much either.  They still allow lots of filtered sun into the room. But I think I'd like them better if these were little more sheer.  I read in other reviews about the color not being ivory, this is true. They are more a sand color, but up in the window the color does lighten up. Another reason for 4 stars rather than 5. Both sheerness and color are personal preferences (which are big issues) rather than quality issues, so if you factor the 2 things into your decision to buy you should be happy with these sheers.
