Delivery: I received my curtains two weeks and three days after I ordered them (via DHL). They arrived ahead of their earliest estimated delivery day, and that was a nice surprise.The Bad: After unpacking, I noticed a rather signifigant snag with loose thread on the back of the fabric. It appeared to pull the fabric together on the front of the curtain as well, making it appear irregular. On further inspection, I noticed at least nine other snags ...most minor that could be smoothed out, but some signifigant enough that there was evidence of them in the front. I was a little disappointed by this, but the effect was so slight after smoothing that it was only noticeable if you knew about it and were specifically looking for it.I have included a picture of one of the snags and track marks from pulled threads from the back. I honestly don't think I could get a good picture from the front. It's that subtle after attempted correction.The Good: Everything else is good. The fabric feels very heavy and swingy. All the seams look lovely, and the length looks even. I've never dealt with this sort of drapery before (pinch pleat), but it was easy enough to figure out how to hang it. The adjustable hooks they provide are great, and very helpful if you're a novice like I am.I put my curtains up in the evening and haven't actually seen them in the sun yet ...but I can tell by seeing them tonight that they will block out a lot of light and heat- even though I purchased them unlined.UPDATE: These curtains block out a LOT of light and a LOT of heat. It was 95 degrees F yesterday and my home felt nice and shady .The Color: I really agonized over the Grey Green color and wasn't sure what I'd be getting. I'm not even sure a swatch would have been helpful, because the color appears so different for so many reasons- even increasing the mass of the color changes the way it looks.Over the past few hours, these curtains have looked beige, grey, green, and different combinations of those three colors. I added a few random pictures of different objects in front of the curtains to illustrate this. For reference, my walls are Swiss Coffee (a Behr white with a slight beige cast) and the curtain rod is Antique Silver .Stars: I thought about knocking off a star for the snags, but considering the overall greatness of the product and VERY reasonable cost, I don't think that minor issue deserves a star deduction. If I could give 4.75 stars instead of 4 stars, I would probably consider that.Conclusion: I would buy these curtains all over again, and I would recommend them to others, as well.
