Be forewarned: this item is really more of a fluorescentgreen, almost fluorescent yellow.It makes the design a bit harder to take in, and sure wakes you up first thing in the morning. You'll never have trouble finding your shower again. Plus, if you cut out a hole for your head, it'll make a highly visible emergency poncho. So...two points for disaster preparedness.
Another con: It's about double the thickness of a disposable plastic tablecloth. The loopholes are just thicker vinyl, so if you grab it to catch your balance it looks like it might tear. I don't generally swing from my shower curtain, but if you do, FYI, you're going to need a different curtain.
I don't think I would have bought this if I'd seen it in person, but I bought a vintage "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" poster, so I'm kind of committed at this point.
The shower curtain is even brighter in person than it is in photos. It is a cool design, but the material seems of a lower quality in that it is very thin. In effect, you're paying a premium for the style so, if you don't mind style over substance and can be careful not to damage the curtain, this may well be worth it.As another reviewer noted, there is a strong fragrance when opening the package, but note that this is the same "new plastic" odor you'd experience with like products.

There is not much to reviewing this item.It is a shower curtain, plastic and quirky.The 2 main disappointments in purchasing this item are the following:
1) The color DOES NOT MATCH the image.While the picture presents a somewhat subdued and grassy green, the actual item is a bright fluorescent-esque green.Nearer to neon and translucent.It just appears much brighter than expected, which for some, could make no difference.For me it did.
2) Stink Bomb!Everyone mentions the smell.This is also objective and I paid little attention to the comments because I said to myself, "How bad can it be?"We've probably all gotten items from Chinese manufacturering that has an odd smell but this one is BOMB.It really made me dizzy and after deciding to let it air out on the patio instead, the smell still lingered in the bath for 30 mins even though it only spent 5 minutes in there.Do not underestimate the smell, it is potent.But I am hoping it goes away within a few days, as many reviewers have said.
Otherwise, it is a shower curtain. Cheaply made with and funny design.Quite self-explanatory.

This shower curtain is super cute. Yes, it did give off a crazy smell when we first opened it but we hung it over a chair on the porch for a day and it was fine.Lots of nice comments from our guests!

Not only is it the aforementioned awesome and more, but I'd like to counter two points made in other reviews.
1. The smell dissipates with a little time, just like any fresh plastic needs to air out
2. Although the curtain is thin, it is actually slightly stretchy, which makes it far more durable than the much thicker, but rigid, plastic of my last curtain. It's hard to describe the plastic exactly, except that it is definitely a common marine plastic, not glossy or slippery, it's more matte and grippier.
Also, I'd just like to mention that it really lit up our small bathroom and made it feel roomier.
Definitely recommend now that I know they're durable, I'll probably buy the psycho one and switch them out with the seasons (as if psycho and 20,000 leagues somehow matches the seasons! hah!)
I think this curtain is all that it promises. Really nice design, just as pictured.
