We needed light-filtering, non-see-through privacy curtains for a bathroom window. I had to return curtains from different sellers twice because even though they were described as privacy curtains they were clearly not.These curtains were exactly what we needed. Plenty of light gets through during the day. At night with the light on the curtains are fully opaque.The color is a creamy beige with a hint of yellow. Looks great with the room's earth toned colors. The embroidery is nice and not overpowering.The material is pretty stiff but the fold-lines from packaging have mostly faded after hanging overnight. I'm sure the fabric will soften and all the wrinkles will be gone after washing.I can recommend these curtains for privacy needs.
