I thought this was peel and stick when I purchased it, so when I found out I needed to use adhesive I was a little disappointed and worried because I have never wallpapered before. The first wall was a little rocky and there was a learning curve. However, by the second wall, I had a better system in place. If you haven't wallpapered before, I recommend watching several YouTube videos before starting with this geometric wallpaper. You'll pick up tips from the videos that will make your experience better. However, the end result is stunning and everyone comments on it when they walk into the office and see it.
