Loved this item. Was hesitant about the peel and stick option vs. prepasted, but very happy I went through with it. Simple enough to put up - just be mindful to purchase more than what you need (as the pattern doesn't always line up perfectly and you'll be needing some extra to get by). Depending on the way the light hits it, the "gold" option looks brown, rose gold, or sandy beige. The material is thick enough to cover any wall imperfections. Overall very happy with this purchase!
