This was a pleasant surprise! Told my friends &amp; family about these drapes.<br>Not "cheesy" at all--&amp; I am picky. Using this as a 3rd drape (with sheer immediately in front of these &amp; regular drape in front of sheer). However, these can stand on their own as they are<br>not see through at all (even with all lights on inside at night), &amp; during day keep out harsh sunlight but with a low key glow to make view look real. Seller was great. Great purchase!
