This is beautiful.  Laid out the vinyl planks first with the paper on.  Made sure everything was right.  Then peeled and place and then rolled with just a rolling pin, which worked great.  One piece at a time. 
Very easy to cut to size that you need.  Very durable. Made it a little bigger than my front hall usually is, but we are putting in new carpeting too.  So that will square off any extras.  Love the way it looks.  Highly recommend.
