I am very pleased with these.   The linen blend fabric looks expensive.  I like the pattern; sort of a mid century shape but the ikat application gives it a transitional/bohemian flair. They aren't blackout but definitely room darkening--enough to control the morning sun to my satisfaction, and better than the room darkening curtains they are replacing.  As noted by other reviewers the pattern isn't a true gray; I would call it a medium taupe with slight purple undertones on an oatmeal background, certainly neutral enough for my needs. True, The pattern doesn't line up perfectly from curtain to curtain but not enough to bother me.    I have a wide wall of windows--150 in--and 4 panels cover it nicely.  Really, at this price point  the appearance and quality can't be beat.
