The sheer drapes I purchased are nice. However, I was lead to believe by the representative that they would be darker than the actually are once opened. I was lead to believe that they would be more of a linen or beige color but instead they are pretty much white. They really stand out in my living room against my furniture. Now I must purchase something to tie everything in. The manager wanted me to purchase something darker by placing an additional order with a 20 discount. I had already spent close to $600.00. I did not have another $600.00 to spend on sheer drapes.
