"These curtains are exactly what I was searching for—the thickness, style, and quality are outstanding.

Despite that, I still think they’re a great product and had to give them four stars!"

"I absolutely love these curtains! They’re lightweight yet provide privacy. They really brightened up my room and look very pretty. There were some creases when I received them, but they ironed out easily—just lovely!"

While I would have rated it 5 stars, I find it a bit of a hassle to tie it up every morning to achieve the right look. Nonetheless, I absolutely love how it appears when finished; it looks exactly like the picture!"

"I found the Ivory I ordered to be more of a dark beige or light kaki. If you're considering this color, be ready to choose a shade that is two shades darker. The color itself is nice, but it just doesn't match the Ivory I expected."
