Years ago I used to wallpaper with real wallpaper and paste..even pasted the prepasted kind. So it was messy. I was skeptical about this peelnstick. When I got it, loved the colors and pattern but still, I thought this IS like contact paper but a better quality. Got it up and so far I am in love with this paper. It went up so super easy! Easy to match the pattern and looks great. The colors and pattern are awesome! I only used on one accent wall. Only thing that would be better, cut lines on the back.
