I ordered these curtains to go over my patio doors. The color is accurate, and very pleasing. However, anyone who knows what chenille is would probably laugh as that as a description for these curtains. They are essentially faux silk, period. Nothing fuzzy, no pile, just normal, flat fabric, no resemblance to chenille whatsoever. Further, there is no mention in the description that these are "sheer" - however, the front of the package clearly says "Sheers", tho they are not sheer, just somewhat translucent. The pluses are - they are the correct size, they are the color I wanted, and they are much prettier than the ugly plastic vertical blinds that are there now. They are, however, pretty inaccurate if you are looking for a chenille fabric.
