This is a beautiful wallpaper, but I found that the metallic gold wasn't as shiny as I expected the gold to be. It was more dull and muted than anticipated.

Note: be sure you are satisfied with your product before your STRICT 30 day return window closes. I am TERRIBLY disappointed that after I called within a few days of this 30 day window to see about returning this product as it no longer worked with the project intended for it, I was shot down by customer service managers and not allowed to return. Not only does this sadden me from a financial stewardship perspective, it is not very sustainability minded. Be aware of their strict policies before purchasing.
