I didn't have really high hopes for this shower curtain, but the price was right and I needed two of them for a claw foot tub shower-ring.
The curtain drapes beautifully right out of the package. The fabric is heavy, yet soft. The curtain is definitely "retro" with a plush chenille look and feel. The natural color is a nice counterpoint to the retro look as it isn't baby doll pink or lime green (the colors of the last chenille item I owned). I will be ordering another curtain for another bathroom as these look so great with our adobe walls.
I've bought shower curtains from Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond and this curtain is by far the nicest-without the $100+ price tag you'd find at the first two stores I listed.
I was looking for the right shower curtain to compliment my older bathroom so was glad I found something simple but retro looking. I love it!! It does need a liner however and that isn't stated in the description.

In the picture, the stripes look like they're maybe an inch or so big, at least to me.In real life, they're more like a quarter inch.I was expecting really retro, with fuzzy stripes, but instead I got slightly retro with thin, not poofy stripes.It's ok, but not what I expected (and I'm too lazy to return things).Other than that, the quality is ok.You'll need a solid liner so that the curtain isn't partially see-through but it's white cotton so that's expected.

I loved the way this shower curtain looked, but it smelled like feet (!) out of the bag and for the first week after we hung it up. I washed it, which eradicated the smell, but also sadly shrunk the curtain to a fraction of its size. Also, it seemed like half the chenille shed off during the inital wash and dry. Sooo, if yours smells bad, know that the smell washes off BUT be careful to dry it on cool or gentle to prevent shrinkage. Also, be prepared to clean up the tufts of chenille that will shed during your initial washing. That said, the curtain still HAS chenille, in stripes, and you can't tell visually that it shed anything off.

This is very pretty. It's a great addition to the Sinatra Silver shower curtain and decorative towels. I am not, however, thrilled with the quality of this product. It's cheaply made; the metal on the screw top is oxidizing and leaving the green goop around it. Gross. It does its job though: pumps soap, sits obediently, and looks pretty.
