The package arrived intact and did not take long. My housekeeper removed each pair for inspection and found no flaws. She pressed each panel using a steam iron on medium high setting. She then hung each panel in the formal dining room with assist from the gardener. The curtain fabric has the appearance of silk and each panel is lined in white fabric of good quality. The curtains have "weight" and hang very well. The width of each panel is very generous and the final look is luxurious and full. We are pleased without exception.
