I like the medium fabric weight. Yes, these curtains allow light to filter through but seem to offer enough privacy for a bedroom. I like that they can be machine washed and that they are true to size. I used clip-on ring hooks with the rod set 6" from the 8' ceiling and the curtains just "kiss" the floor. I especially like the personality the cute design brings to my otherwise dull office. Beware however, the rod pocket at the top of one panel was not completely sewn all the way across. It looks like the sewing machine ran out of bobbin thread. The sewing was not straight on any of the seams, but since it's not too obvious, there's no way I'm going to bother sending them back. I also noticed a 3" long blue streak from the dye or or from a marker, which is also not obvious when hung. All in all this curtain set is a plus for the money.
