As I anticipated Nautica product quality would be better than average, I was not disappointed when I received the drapes. I ordered navy and it was navy/dark blue and the material was heavy, kinda like the canvas type fabric. If you are looking for elegant drapes, this definitely isn't for you but if you are looking for clean, simple with slight modern flare, this IMO, is perfect. Keeps the lights out pretty well too, but it will not totally darken your room. I am getting the yellow color for my kids activity room.
