This is NOTHING like any other contact paper I’ve used. This is very Thick and works really well for a quick, inexpensive update. 
I applied this to a kitchen counter top- to hide the ugly until we update and I am Very Pleased. Just be patient and work slow.. this is not “Easy” to apply but it’s not difficult. Just tedious. The sticky side has Incredibly strong hold. I really don’t think I will ever be able to remove this from the counter so I’d be cautious of that. But if you’re on the edge- GET it! I’m pleasantly surprised and Impressed!
