These are great for staging a tropical ambience. We wanted something beachey in our new Floridian guest bath and two of these panels in the shower/bath were exactly what we were looking for. We found a tenion rod at a home goods store ($15), placed it above the usual height, and let these drape gently onto the floor. When we have guests we'll pop another fabric shower liner up. As other reviewers wrote, these truly are sheer and gauzy - think gauze bandage like. If that's what you're searching for, you'll be as pleased as we are.

We bought these for our living room in 108 length cream. They are made from a beautiful linen, and I never noticed any smell. If there was one, it wasn't significant at all. I would absolutely purchase again, and may do so, for other rooms in the house. They are awesome.
