I was on the hunt for a neutral linen color curtain and these were fairly inexpensive so I thought I'd give them a try. I really do like them and the color is perfect if you have a neutral pallet.The details: you don't want to use these in a bedroom unless you don't mind light coming through. They don't advertise to be blackout and they definitely are not. Take a look at the chart where they show you the color of the curtain and about how much light that color could black out. I feel it's pretty accurate. I've included a bunch of pictures so you can see the detail of the color of mine with and without Flash and in the morning at 7 AM. My house faces Northeast so I don't get direct sunlight in our living room where we used these curtains on our big picture window, but you can see how even with vertical blinds Behind These curtains the amount of light that still comes in the room. That being said we don't enter the living room until were awake and guests don't sleep in it so these are perfect for us.They are lined and the lining is not appear white it's almost more of a satiny gray. I really liked that though and they appear nice from the outside. Our homeowners association dictates that any window treatments must be white visible from the outside, and these are still appropriate and acceptable. So if you have those kind of bylaws these will be okay for you.They are fairly sturdy and they don't feel cheap in my opinion. I did see a lot of people complaining about wrinkles and I washed my curtains immediately once we got them. I even washed them in warm water and used heat in the dryer and the fold lines are still there. I don't care too much because they don't look crazy bad but if they don't come out on their own in a month or so I might try to take an iron to them. If that kind of thing drives you crazy though you might have to take these to the cleaners right out of the box because the wrinkles seem to be hard set as they've probably been packaged for a while.Overall I'm very happy we got the two panels that were 54 by 84 and they're perfect for the length of our curtain rod. We might get another set either a darker color to go on the same curtain rod or a lighter color to go in the middle. Right now we're happy with these.The pictures I took were taken in the early morning again so you could see even with our blinds closed how much light comes in through the light colored curtains. The one where I put my hand behind it was with the blinds open so you can see directly that you could definitely see full light and the others just show the neutral linen color which is up against our gray couch. Also showed pictures of the lining and you can see how it's more grayish.
