I covered our ugly kitchen backsplash five yrs ago (see other review), and now we are moving out, so update: these tiles held up amazingly well to five years of kitchen use (only had a tiny bit of edge lift at the sink corner) and I just removed them in under an hour (including the tiniest bit of residue) and the tiles underneath are back to their ugly, old selves-HA! These tiles really saved my sanity in this rental, highly recommended!
