I bought three valances in the blue color of this design (for two kitchen windows and one laundry room window). For the kitchen window that overlooks the carport, I also added this tier pair for added privacy. The blue color looks exactly like the online picture and they arrived in a timely fashion. Although I like their uniqueness, I am disappointed in how thin they are for the price (see-through) and the length is not good for a kitchen window. I put the rod in the center of the window but the panels hang down approximately 4" below the window sill which looks odd. I will cut and hem them so their length matches the picture shown. I don't like the added work for the price but again, these are unique curtains that you will not find in your neighbor's house.
