The curtains are thicker than expected, if your looking for sheer these are not for you. I like the thickness of the curtains, bamboo designs are well printed. You cant see through them from the inside out and vice versa. In the pic you can see how much natural light comes in (10am) which is perfect for what I am looking for. The only issue I have is, I lightly pressed them to on the lowest setting of the Iron and the leaves transferred onto my ironing board cover, attached picture. Aside from that, the curtains are very well sewn and have a medium weight to them.
