I wanted drapes to span the length of the bar in my family room.  These were the right length, but I needed them to be 42.  I decided to fold them in half and make an adjustment at the top, where they slide onto the curtain rod.  By doing that, I was able to have the wood pattern visible from both front and back.  I was able to do it without having to make any scissors cuts.  Really happy with the results!<br><br>The drapes are good quality for the price...there is a white fabric backing, so they are not sheer.  Happy with my purchase.
