We used this in our guest bathroom. We followed the instructions and it was a little frustrating to get everything exactly right. But the product was true to as advertised and looks great. It is a little soft and even after several coats of paint is prone to scratches and dents. I don't think it will last super long, but for an area that is not used very often or has a lot of wear it is an inexpensive and relatively easy way to get the look of beadbard.
