Fairly straightforward and simple installation. Pattern is easy to line up. I made the mistake of not buying enough and had to order more. So, I’d recommend getting more than you think you need If you want to match every piece. Especially if you have a lot of obstacles to work around. However, there are a few pieces that I didn’t match the pattern on, and you can’t even tell because the pattern is so busy. I can’t speak for the longevity because I’ve only had it up about a week. I did put it in a bathroom, so I’m curious to see how it holds up against the moisture over time. Overall, very satisfied with the product, especially for the price.
