Handmade Natural Bamboo Beaded Curtain (Vietnam)

Overall I was a bit disappointed. In the past I have purchased bamboo beaded curtains with about the same strand count and received more privacy. This curtain's bead strands have smaller bead diameters, particularly as they descend toward the floor. As other reviewers noted, color is that of natural bamboo and curtain is in fact fairly study and well made. If you are looking for a mild screening to just diffuse an area, this may be for you. If you are looking for a bit more privacy you may want to consider buying two of these and hanging them back to back with beads slightly off-set to achieve more coverage.

I was so excited to have found this item that I returned one that I had recently ordered from another website, and I was not sorry. The curtain is sturdy (one of my yoga student's 3 year-old pulls on the beads regularly), and fits in my home decor perfectly... I was concerned about the colors being too vibrant, but the look is soft and natural. Since my yoga studio is in my home, I use this curtain as a privacy wall for my back hall, and it's virtually impossible to see through. The length is great as well... goes all the way to the floor. Also, the hardware that it hangs by is built well and to last. When I'm between classes and wish to avoid moving through the beads, they are easily pulled aside and tied with ribbon to hang on either side of the hall doorway. This curtain is exactly what I was looking for - absolutely fabulous!

I bought two of the painted bamboo curtains to use as "doors" - then bought two of these to add to bulk and privacy. The curtain was described as "painted bamboo curtain features a burst of color in yellow and orange hues" which did not show in the photo. I was counting on it being as pictured NOT as described so I was very pleased that it is just bamboo with NO PAINT or bursts of color.

I got this to replace a door where space was tight, and it has worked wonders ever since. I keep it tied back (simply got a piece of natural twine which closely matches the color of the bamboo, and hooked it to the wall) so that I don't have to go through it all the time. I feel like if it had to constantly have people and pets passing through it that pieces would break off, because it's quite delicate the way the beads are attached. A couple of thin pieces at the end needed to be reattached, as they fell off in the shipping box. However for the price, this product is awesome and looks beautiful. I don't mind that it tapers at the bottom, although of course I would have preferred it to be equally full from top to bottom - that would have been way more expensive though, I'm sure. Since I am not in need of total privacy, it suits my needs perfectly, at a very affordable price point.

Installation took about 5 minutes.... drilled two holes, screwed in two hooks and hang! At first I thought I wouldn't like that it's not actually 36 inches wide to cover the entire opening, but it's perfect! I don't see any of the orange tones mentioned, it's just a natural bamboo wood color which works for me. This is a decorative canvas to mildly conceal a room you may not want people looking directly into all the time. I emphasize mildly because with the lights on you will naturally be able to see into the room.

The curtains are as expected with one exception.... the beads taper from fat at the top to very skinny at the bottom and therefore the coverage becomes more and more skimpy....I would not have purchased the item had I known this

The actual curtain is not quite as full as the one shown. It serves the purpose, but I expected a little better quality. The beads are held by thin wire which sticks out where the beads separate too much. Most of the bead are very thin and some are already splitting. We'll see how well it holds out.

Works well to keep bugs out and still allow my cat access to the deck. It was difficult to find plain bamboo curtains. These are fairly robust; they are not as substantial as the ones I replaced, but they do the job and are unobtrusive. The blinds are reasonably priced and are exactly as described. I would purchase them again.

This was a great buy for me. I needed something to separate my office from the hallway and did not want a solid door. It was easy to hang and easy to trim to fit the space. It looks fantastic and there is something mystical about these beads you can't help but touch them when you go by. Nice quality.

This curtain is wonderful. The strands taper down, which is something not shown in the photo (wider beads on top and gradually slimmer beads all the way to the bottom), and the effect is really nice and flowing. Also, the strands are a bit more far apart than what they appear to be in the photo, but, again, this does not detract from the overall appearance and function of the curtain. It is definitely a see-through, but nicely so. I am really satisfied with the purchase.

I was not happy with the quality or density (number of strands). I purchased one from a different site after this one with 125 strands and it is night and day. The quality of the of the second one I got is so much better it makes this one look like $$ junk. Also the increased number of strands makes a huge difference. Hopefully this review will help someone from making the mistake I did trying to save a couple of bucks but ending up spending more. I should have trusted my intuition and gone with the 125 strand one to begin with. In this case you get what you pay for.

nice beaded curtain as advertised good quality, could be cheaper

Its what the reviews say. Beads are thicker at the top and very skinny at the bottom. It'd be great if they were the same all the way down but I knew from the reviews it wouldn't be. We hung one in front of the other for better coverage. They're just a fun item. Not for privacy.

Nice quality product. Very happy.

IT WAS SO CUTE MY RENTERS STOLE IT WHEN THEY LEFT!

Very beautiful!! It adds so much character

The bamboo pieces are connected w/wires. If you'd like to use it in a doorway, forget it. The pieces fall off, the wires catch in your clothes as you walk through, & mine ended up in the trash water 2 weeks. If you use it as a window treatment it may work better. Why wires & not cord or string ?

The bamboo beads are very loosely connected by strings that break off at will. I found it impracticable for use.

It is what I expected. I was able to hang it with out any problems. The description was as described. For a "no frill" bamboo curtain, it is perfect.

This is a great bamboo beaded curtain...It serves the purpose for my needs of covering an open doorway going into my craft room....It makes me very creative when I enter into that special place....It is very durable, cute, and was easy to install.

They are exactly what I wanted and more since they had hooks attached to hang them with.

Sadly need to return this.... heavy, thin, and see through....

Not good for a high traffic doorway. Beads get smaller and thinner towards the bottom, tangle easily and eventually split in two resulting in many a curse word and actual violence being delivered as a final remedy. I snatched it off the door frame and chucked it in the the roaring fireplace. That made me feel better for wasting my money and enduring months of aggravation and ongoing ridicule from my friends and family.
