There are a lot of things to like about this. First of all, it looks great when it's installed. Until you get up close it really does look like wood. I put it on an entire wall at the back of my kitchen. It was a little tricky to put up, but admittedly I did it by myself. With another person it would have been much easier to align it straight across the 12 foot wall - but at any rate it was far more simple than actual wallpaper with paste.
That said, it does not hold quite as firmly as I would like. It is a sticker-like backing with a covering that you remove when you install it. It is definitely very sticky in terms of, the pieces will stick to each other and anything else once you take the backing off. However, once it was on my walls, the edges started peeling back a little and the whole top section fell off the wall. Kind of a pain. The edges part is an easy fix - I just bought a tube of wallpaper touch-up adhesive at Home Depot. I wish I had known it might not stick firmly before I put it up, or I would have put the extra adhesive on all the edges as I installed it to help it stick better - definitely a pain to replace that whole top piece. (Note: the walls I put it on were very lightly textured and painted in a matte, neutral color paint. I wiped them down but did not sand or otherwise prep them).
So all in all - a very nice product. Quality looks, and it's a very nice, easy to wipe off and clean vinyl. I would just say that if you are planning on putting it on a wall as wallpaper, to stay up there for a long time, I would recommend adding wallpaper adhesive to at least the corners and edges to give it extra hold.

This looked absolutely incredible. It's so realistic! My mom literally had to touch it to be convinced it isn't textured. Highly recommended.

Decent picture, right size for the set of 3. they actually look good on white or beige color wall. Problem is sticky glue is more powerful than I expected. this is not good for the wall with matte paint. If you want to take them off some time later. paint will be taken off too. Personally I don't understand why other reviewer claim they don't stick on the wall. If you use it on glossy wall, I believe there will be no problem taking them out later. This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.
