I was looking for something with a more Tuscan vibe than the black and cream check valance and tiers I'd had in my kitchen for eons...new stone flooring took us from American country to a Mediterranean feel. I ordered one set, and I was dubious, because the price was ridiculously cheap...but they were surprisingly rich and deep in color. The material is clearly poly, not my fav, but it hangs well and the pattern is subtle (I got the creamy antique). Can't say how well it will wash as i've only had them for a week or 2, but so far, I'm very pleased. Shipping was also very quick. Deducted one star only because again, the material has a somewhat cheap feel.
