We purchased these curtains to cover twelve Windows and two side light Windows adjacent the front door. We are using them in our living room, family room and dining room. I have not purchased curtains sight unseen before and had read many reviews on Great Offer Stock curtain products. I have to admit I was a little nervous at first. We purchased the brown rod pocket curtains. They arrived before the estimated delivery date, within five days. The curtain and valance are separate, so you will need two rods, one for the curtain panels and one for the valance. The curtain panels were 50" wide, and the rod pocket is actually the top of the curtain so there is no ruffle above the rod pocket. Just something to keep in mind. The valance covers the top of the curtain panel so I wasn't too bothered by it. The rod pocket on the curtain panel is big enough to use a one inch round rod. You might be able to use a bigger rod, but I like being able to have moving room to adjust the curtain. The curtains did not come with any tie-backs, but none are shown either. I took them out of the package and hung them up, I did not iron them. I find the stitching to be good, and if you sew, the stitch tension was good and even. Maybe six stitches per inch, but consistent. No snags or loose stitching and they did not bunch the fabric. The curtains hang even and all the same size. Although not advertised as room darkening, the brown is a lovely nice chocolate color, and helps in that area, especially as our tv is located in front of three windows. The weight of the material is very nice, not too heavy, but heavy enough. We like the patterns in the material and does not overwhelm the fabric, they look classy. Overall we are very happy with the curtains, and the price was good. I would definitely purchase more of these curtains from Great Offer Stock. I hope my comments help you to make an informed decision.
