I needed sheer back seamed pantyhose to wear with my peacock halloween costume and chose these after reading the reviews. I'm petite and 5'2 and the size 1 were a perfect fit for me. The nylon material was extremely fragile so I made sure to put them on  carefully and spray them with hairspray to prevent runs. Very small runs did appear on the nylons when I tried them on the first time and upon my first wear, but it was hardly noticeable. It was a little tricky to get the backseam to run in a straight line up my legs, but it was definitely doable and what I would expect from any back seamed tights. They looked great, the color/fit/sheerness was perfect and I would definitely recommend these if you only want to wear them a few times for special occasions, or for a costume, and have the patience to gently put them on and remove them. They have tears in them now because they got caught on a thorn bush, and I'm not sure how they would hold up in the wash. I would recommend probably hand washing them with a gentle soap or shampoo to maintain the fibers. I do plan to try and repair them and reuse them for future costumes. These wouldn't be good for long term use as work attire, unless maybe you took extreme care in washing and maintaining, and even then I doubt they'd last more than 10 wears. Overall decent for the price, though with shipping it ended up being a little bit more than what I'd like to pay for it.
