Very nice curtains. A nice solid weight - not stiff like upholstery but thick enough to feel "real" and not like cheap gauzy curtains. We were not planning to use these block light, just as decoration, and I'm very satisfied. They look high end and bring calm elegance to the room. I bought them to match the Ink+Ivy Lakeside Cotton 3-piece Duvet Cover Set, and they look very nice together.
