Gorgeous! Well-made! Excellent quality with a sewn solid-black backing so light doesn't show through. Hung beautifully right out of the packaging - no need to iron. Incredibly low price! I installed two of these valances side-by-side in a sports-themed bedroom that had two huge windows on one wall. Because the drapery pole was so long, extending about a foot past the window on each side, I draped a long, black, sheer window scarf on both ends, which really helped to warm up the room and looks great with the valances. The effect if fabulous - these valances are eye-popping and really make the room. This sports-themed bedroom is inside a vacation rental that I own, so people pay a lot of money to stay here and their expectations are high. These valances do not disappoint. Be not afraid, dear shopper, to make this valance your own!
