We knew that this wallpaper was not prepasted, but pasting it was a bigger headache than we anticipated, however, I'm not taking off points for that since that was our own fault for underestimating the amount of time & patience this would require. But if you are considering this paper, I highly recommend anyone that has not hung non-prepasted wallpaper to talk to someone who has so that you can get a better idea of what you are taking on. We didn't think it would be such a pain, but it was.

The thing that is a huge let down is that this wallpaper is not as durable as it should be.  The pattern in the wallpaper is very mushy ~ almost spongy-like ~ so you can easily make dents & gouges in this paper,even with something as simple as your fingernail, long after the paper has been hung & has dried.  Really disappointing...

Painting the paper wasn't a problem & I do love the pattern. But because of the mushiness of it, I can't recommend it. Sorry.
