I bought this to line the back of cabinets with open/glass fronts. My 2-star rating is based on its lack of resemblance to true grasscloth. It's shiny and--as it clearly states--smooth. Which means it completely lacks the authenticity of matte, highly textured grasscloth. I ended up removing it and buying real grasscloth and the effect is MUCH better. With grasscloth, nothing comes close to the real thing and it's worth it to splurge.
