I had bought the shower curtain 2x and therefore can say from both experience that the curtain has extremely stunk at the beginning about 1 week! In addition, after a short time, some bags are torn and both curtains I had no more than about 3/4 of the year, because they were really no more beautiful then (in some pockets is then also while showering water ran in)! Nevertheless, I find the idea particularly with the pockets very nice because as a shower curtain is a real eye-catcher in the bathroom! But I have now decided to use another shower curtain with better quality, which allows these individual design with pockets!
