A lot shinier than I expected, which makes them look on the cheap side..or like I tried to use a shower curtain instead of drapes. Didn't like the way they looked at all. Mostly my bad decorating decision. Guess I'll try to sell them on my own. The are pretty funky if you have the right place to put them. They are a lot lighter once they're on the rod with light behind them. If you want the deep plum as shown, I suggest you get a liner.
