I have to say that we were very disappointed with our curtains. Firstly, one pair had been pressed badly so that there is a double crease along the downward edge. (See photo). Secondly we were disappointed that the hems had been stitched with a standard machine stitch and not with a hemming stitch. Thirdly, the light filtering lining means that the colour and pattern of the fabric is bleached out by sunlight - thicker lining would have prevented this problem. (See photo). We realise that we chose light filtering lining, but the only other option was blackout lining, which we assumed would only be suitable for bedrooms and our curtains were for the living room. In addition, the curtains arrived 2 hours later than the delivery slot we were given and the package was damaged.
