I must admit, I was on the fence and very hesitant to purchase these curtains.Yes, they were very affordable... almost too affordable for curtains so beautiful (if you know what I mean?).I was concerned that they'd arrive looking cheap or the texture might be rough, because as the old saying goes "you get what you pay for".So again... I was hesitantI finally decided to take a chance & buy them, because even if I wasn't happy with them, they were inexpensive enough that I could either give them away to someone I know, or donate them to someone who really needs them.My concerns were dashed as soon as I opened the box... these curtains are beautiful!Yes, they are sheer, but they're not sheer enough that they're completely see through (which is what I was going for).I love the feeling of natural light filling my home, the only problem with that is he lack of privacy natural light offers (if you live in the city, sometimes your neighbors windows are just an arms length away).Thankfully, the pattern of these curtains solves that problem nicely!Speaking of the pattern... I enjoy it so much.The mocha & gold compliment each other beautifully & the trellis design is elegant & modern.These curtains look LUX and similar to those you'd find in a 5 star hotel like the Ritz Carlton or The Four Seasons (without paying the exorbitant amount that they do!).The material gives the appearance & feel of raw silk or linen - however unlike the hassles of linen, any creases which may develop due to packaging fell right out in just a few hours (fyi, I survive using Downey Wrinkle Releaser - it is THE greatest product ever invented & it works on e-ver-y-thing!) so if you can't wait a few hours for the creases to fall out, give the curtains a few squirts of Downy Wrinkle Releaser & they'll be out in seconds. Irons & steamers need not apply when it comes to these curtains.Needless to say I highly recommend this product.My biggest problem was choosing which ones to buy, because of their huge selection of styles, sizes, colors & patterns (I know, I know, that's some problem, right?). I have ADD though, which can make dwindling down choices difficult for me, especially when there are so many beautiful patterns to choose from.So, if you're like me & can't decide, you can't go wrong with the mocha & gold... the colors are delicious together. ?** I personally depend on reading reviews to help me determine whether I should buy a product or not - I can't tell you how many times my decision has come down to what the reviews say.So if you've found this review helpful, please click the "helpful" button below my post, so that I can pay it forward & help other shoppers like you've all have helped me. ?
