Customer Reviews - Grand Waterfall Green Mountain Open Window Mural Wall Sticker - 36"x48" - (Cont'd)

This is a vinyl wall sticker with an outdoors scene meant to invoke the idea that you have a window on a wall that you do not. There are several aspects upon which I'm assessing this including quality of materials and printing, aesthetics, and installation. In terms of appearances, this is a very beautiful wall sticker with a vibrant picture which is quite sharply printed for something of its size. If you look very closely at it, you can see little dots (like you see in inkjet printing upon close inspection), but it's really quite well done and bears scrutiny even if you are standing next to it. The colors on mine were spot-on matching what is shown on the product page (my picture is the garden scene).
The sticker itself is thick and made of vinyl so it has some heft to it. This bodes well for long-term use as you can wipe it down with a damp sponge to clean it and it also means that the risk of tearing during installation is zero. You'd have to cut this to put a rip in it.
Up to this point, all is good. The tricky part is installation because this is large and arrives tightly rolled. If you have a space to do so, I'd recommend flattening it out as best you can before installing it by lying it flat on a flat surface and anchoring the edges over a long period of time. The rolling up makes it much harder to apply smoothly and without air bubbles. It also helps to have two people working with it and to use a roller to slowly smooth it down as you apply it from one side slowly and carefully. This works the air bubbles out as you go. Of course, you should also mark the position on the wall first in order to avoid repositioning if possible. This is not easy to install, but I'm not sure that that is in any way a demerit of the product since I think that there is no way to avoid the issues associated with attaching an enormous contiguous sticker to a wall like this.
I cannot speak to how this will work on painted surfaces as I applied it to a paneled wall. I can say that it is very important to clean the wall well first as any dust or debris will not only possibly leave little bumps in the sticker, but also decrease adhesion. It's also important to be sure the wall is thoroughly dry as well.
The only weak point that I had with this was that my sticker seemed to have suffered some issues at the factory getting it onto the backing smoothly or one end had been peeled off and placed back down on the backing paper. There is a large crease-like air bubble and the top of one edge looked a bit dirty as it if had been placed and then picked up a few times. The slightly dirty edge was less of an issue than the crease-like bubble as it was harder to smooth out because it had been with the sticker since packing and it simply didn't want to push out. It created a ripple in that spot which I will have to see if time will allow me to smooth over.
Note: I received a free sample of this product for my assessment.

High Quality Removable Wall Sticker / Wall Mural - Pine Trees Covered by White Snow out of the Open Window Wall Decorr - 36"x48" Review-
These are absolutely amazing. The larger style requires way more patience to hang and get on the wall and we used a book to get air bubbles out and it is not perfect* There has got to be a technique to get them perfect but it looks awesome in our nursery and I am so excited about it. It is ultra forgiving in that you can take it off the wall and readjust it many times and it stays super sticky. It does not fall at all, period. It is hard to get on the wall. I am sure there are some people out there who will have a better method than my husband and I. He held it with his long arms and I started from a corner while he worked on his side and me on mine. My side did not turn out as nice but then we lifted corners and did our best to sort out bubbles. I think these are great but require patience.
If you have any questions for me feel free to ask. I update my reviews over time if needed. I take my reviews seriously. If you look into my reviews you will see updates in both directions positive and negative. This is my own writing and thoughts and I was **not** paid for my review. I read reviews from others when making online purchases. "This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review"

The item arrived before the scheduled time, in thick carton tube, to protect the product. It is made of thick gage vinyl, which made it easy to install scribed the perfectly vertical line on one side as, reference edge easy to remove any air bubbles, without kinks. Had purchased from other brands and locations and they made of thin wallpaper, and was more difficult to remove air bubbles without causing kinks. Highly recommend this product, family and friends thought, I had added a new window to the back wall of my kitchen. It looks that realistic, and I purchased it to cover up a bunch of holes. It is awesome

Came on time and looks great in my bathroom.

I love this removable window to paradise. I put it in my small office space. Taking a 5 minute break to just stare at it really is a stress reliever...a mini trip to the beach. The picture is clear and beautiful. The colors are vibrant. The only drawback is that the strong adhesive on the back makes it difficult to reposition during hanging, but is removable and does NOT leave any residue on the wall.

very good quality... repositioned it two times... and no problems:)
I have to add that now that I ordered some other wall decals from another seller.... THIS is the BEST QUALITY on the market!!!

very good quality... repositioned it two times... and no problems:)
