Product review (5 stars): Does the job nicely
We used this (black side out) to protect the wall next to a black stove and range hood. It coordinated well, and fit perfectly in the space. Yes, it's a thin sheet of painted aluminum, but it was packed pretty well, and only showed the slightest hint of a bend, which was easy to smooth out. I mounted it with stainless steel screws, which looked fine.
