i have a very large window that I didn't want to put heavy traditional curtains on because that window doesn't receive a lot of light, but I did want a little privacy filter. I bought two of the white panels and aside from a slight smell when I opened them, I loved the look and the diamond pattern. It took the sheers up to another level that it was embroidery and not printed fabric. I had a double curtain rod and since the window is really wide I needed just a little more width, so I decided to get another pair in the gray color and use it in place of the traditional outer curtains. It gives the appearance of normal curtains with sheers behind except they are light and don't block any natural light. The photo is just of the white ones hung up before I added the grey set. I love both sets of curtains, they look fab layered like I have them, and I am so glad I added a little subtle pattern with them. I would recommend them.
