I was skeptic about purchasing these because the picture on the website made the curtains look metallic. I am glad I decided to purchase them. In my office I have a huge window and in the afternoons the sun blinds me. So I wanted to dim the sunlight in specific areas these work perfectly because they allow light in but not too much. However, I like to be able to see when customers arrive so I bought some sheer curtains for the center of the window.
Additionally, the fabric doesn't look cheap like most lower priced semi-sheer curtains. I took a close up picture to show the crinkles up close.
