These are well made curtains. They come with drapery pins for a standard curtain rod or you can use clips to hang them like I did to get the right length. While a sturdy fabric, they still let a little light come through and because they are a white background they feel airy. While our family room is a little informal, you can use these in a more dressy, formal room. For pre-packaged drapes I must say I was impressed. The gray design is a flocked fabric like velvet. They are also lined. Love them!
